title: Reticulocytes. Their usefulness and measurement in peripheral blood.
abstract: The eyecount reticulocyte count has been replaced by semi-automated and fully automated methods in laboratories of nearly all developed nations, except for small-volume laboratories and office laboratories in which they are not as cost effective. The eyecount method remains the reference method as defined in NCCLS document H44-A.
