title: [Flow-cytometric immunophenotyping in clinical diagnostics].
abstract: Flow cytometric immunophenotyping represents an indispensable tool in hematological and immunological diagnostics. The most frequent indications include lymphocyte phenotyping and the diagnosis and monitoring of benign and malignant hematologic diseases. The role of immunophenotyping in clinical practice is evolving rapidly. This review provides an overview of its current applications and limitations.
