Nouv Rev Fr Hematol (1978). 1992;34(2):197-200.

Abstract

The paper presents the results of the first year of an Italian nation wide quality control programme for hemocytometric tests, involving public laboratories and concerning the following parameters: hemoglobin, erythrocytes, leukocytes (nucleated cells), mean corpuscular volume, platelets and hematocrit. Results are compared principally with those obtained from the French national programme owing to the use of identical blood standards.
