A national Italian survey in hemocytometry: first year report.
The paper presents the results of the first year of an Italian nation wide quality control programme for hemocytometric tests, involving public laboratories and concerning the following parameters: hemoglobin, erythrocytes, leukocytes (nucleated cells), mean corpuscular volume, platelets and hematocrit. Results are compared principally with those obtained from the French national programme owing to the use of identical blood standards.
