Well Dan, I didn't know that nucleated RBCs were considered blasts. I've had them mentioned on a diff, and also metamyelocytes which I think shouldn't be there. I guess that the amount or % is what matters? The other ones like teardrop cells, burr cells, schistocytes etc. I have too but I don't think are too significant. Hope I'm right! Interestingly, it says "present" for those types of cells, but it says "PRESENT" for giant platelets. Does that mean they are worse if present?
Sorry, Rarity, don't mean to hijack your thread!
