Use of automated hematology analyzers for routine blood count reporting has increased the reproducibility and accuracy of test results. However, at times, these instruments may generate spurious test results. Such results can result in inappropriate investigations or treatment decisions in patients. Spuriously normal or high platelet counts carry the risk of under diagnosis of the true thrombocytopenia with adverse clinical implications. We present a patient with smoldering myeloma with spurious platelet count due to cryoglobulins.
使用自动血液分析仪进行常规血常规报告提高了检测结果的可重复性和准确性。然而，这些仪器有时可能会产生虚假的检测结果。此类结果可能导致对患者进行不恰当的检查或治疗决策。假性正常或高血小板计数存在漏诊真正血小板减少症的风险，并会产生不良临床后果。我们报告一例因冷球蛋白导致血小板计数假性升高的冒烟型骨髓瘤患者。
