Abstract;The leukocyte classification of automatic blood cell analyzer (ADVIA120) is outlined, and the response to a case of appearance of [IG++] flag and the cause of abnormal finding appearance is described. In this case, juvenile granulocyte was not observed in the blood smear sample, but the existence of a large bacillus (Bacillus cereus) was recognized in the background. In ADVIA120, leukocyte classification is analyzed by two sitegrams (PEROX/BASO channel), and when there is no appearance of juvenile granulocyte in the peripheral blood, the sum of the neutrophilic and eosinophilic regions in the PEROX channel is equal to the classification ratio of polymorphonuclear leukocyte in the BASO channel. In this case, since the neutrophils which gormandized the bacteria caused a change in the nuclear structure, a large deviation was generated between the values of the both channels to cause the appearance of [IG++] flag.
