Abstract
On completion of this exercise, the participant should be able to
-classify the presentation of cold agglutinin disease as primary or secondary based on patient history and laboratory findings;
-analyze discrepancies in complete blood cell count results that occur in cases of cold agglutinin disease;
-justify the need for a manual platelet estimate in low platelet counts by automated analyzers;
-use the correct calculation to perform platelet estimates in samples with low red blood cell counts; and
-discuss 3 mechanisms that can be used to correct complete blood cell count results altered by cold agglutinins.
