71665-4
LaboratoryVariant lymphocytes/Leukocytes [Pure number fraction] in Blood by Manual count
Definition
Because of the confusion that occurs in countries that report results as both decimal fraction and percent, this property was created to represent decimal fractions that are reported without units. CLSI (formerly NCCLS) document "Reference Leukocyte Differential Count (Proportional) and Evaluation of Instrumental Methods", 1992, recommend the use of variant lymphocytes rather than atypical or reactive lymphocytes.
