Although microscopy still represents the gold standard for cytometric analysis of peritoneal fluids, automated flow cytometry may improve throughput and accuracy. We evaluated the performance of total nucleated cell (TNC), white blood cell (WBC), polymorphonuclear cell (PMN), and mononuclear cell (MONO) counts of Sysmex XE-5000 on peritoneal fluids. The imprecision was excellent, being always lower than 11%, whereas linearity studies yielded correlation coefficients of 1.
