Figure 1

Comparison of flow cytometric and microscopic determination of Hz-containing leukocytes (panel A, monocytes; panel B, granulocytes). 152 samples from malarious patients were used as part of a study on flow cytometric detection of Hz-containing leukocytes [5]. Hz-containing leukocytes were determined by counting 100 monocytes and 200 granulocytes in a thick film, and by image analysis of screenshot from a Cell-Dyn® haematology analyser, as described elsewhere [5]. To allow better scaling in panel A, four outliers were excluded with 173/30, 167/53, 128/33 and 111/50 flow cytometric/microscopic monocyte counts, respectively.
