Abstract

Introduction: Examining erythrocyte, leukocyte, and platelet indices is critical for diagnosis, disease management, therapy selection, and monitoring. It is imperative to evaluate the hematology analyzer used for a complete blood examination, as each device possesses distinct specifications, methods, and technologies. This study aimed to compare complete blood count parameters, specifically the erythrocyte, leukocyte, and platelet indices, using Sysmex XN-3000 and Yumizen H2500. Methods: This cross-sectional study used blood samples from adult outpatients aged >18 years at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. Samples were collected using purposive sampling, resulting in 100 blood specimens for complete blood count analysis. The examined variables included erythrocyte, leukocyte, and platelet indices, which were compared across two different instruments, i.e., Sysmex XN-3000 and Yumizen H2500. The data were analyzed using either the Spearman or Pearson correlation test (p<0.05). The Bland-Altman plotting was employed to assess the differences between variables, with a minimum of five agreed-upon outliers. Results: Significant correlations were observed across all parameters, except for the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), which showed limited agreement in the Bland-Altman analysis. The Pearson and Spearman analyses revealed a significant correlation in the parameters of erythrocytes (0.00), leukocytes (0.00), and platelets (0.00). The Bland-Altman plot indicated seven outliers in the average MCHC values from the two analyzers, demonstrating insufficient agreement. Conclusion: There is significant agreement and correlation in the erythrocyte, leukocyte, and platelet indices from both analyzers. This finding affirms the compatibility of both instruments for clinical use, with caution advised when interpreting MCHC values.   Highlights: 1. This study evaluated the validity of different hematology analyzers for complete blood count examinations in medical laboratories, a topic that has rarely been discussed in detail. 2. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the quality improvement of medical laboratory technologies in Indonesia.

Abstract

Activated monocytes/macrophages and T lymphocytes that generate a cytokine storm are thought to play a critical role in the development of dengue. Cytokine storms, characterized by the excessive production of proinflammatory cytokines, can result in cellular dysfunction and organ failure, often contributing to the severity of dengue in affected patients. Interleukin-18 (IL-18), like IL-1beta, is a proinflammatory cytokine released during inflammation triggered by inflammasome activation. Increased IL-1beta and IL-18 during dengue virus infection (DVI) are known to worsen the host's vascular permeability, increasing hemostasis disorders and potentially, all of which are important elements in the pathophysiology of dengue fever. This study investigates the association between IL-1beta levels, IL-18 levels, age, dengue virus serotype, and the severity of dengue virus infection, aiming to understand how these factors interact and influence disease outcomes. This study is an observational cross-sectional design from 59 DVI patients in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya with positive dengue PCR results. Both IL-1beta and IL-18 levels reveal no significant relationship with the patient's age, infection status, and dengue virus serotype. A weak negative significant relationship between IL-1beta levels and the severity of DVI, indicating an inverse relationship between IL-1beta levels and the severity. Further studies are required to investigate the function of these cytokines in severe dengue.
