Lack of interference by Howell-Jolly bodies with the quantitative MI-RBC parameters. a Peripheral blood smear of the sample with numerous Howell-Jolly body-containing RBCs. b The sample was analysed on the XN-30 in WB mode and the M scattergram shows a large blue cluster with a grey area, reflecting the region where MI-RBCs scatter. Turquoise dots: white blood cells. c The MI-RBC parameters (MI-RBC# and MI-RBC%) were suppressed and the software triggered an “abnormal MI-RBC scattergram” flag in response to the large blue cluster and the result was reported as indeterminate
