What Types of Neonatal Disorders Can be Diagnosed Using Flow Cytometry?
Flow cytometry can diagnose a variety of neonatal disorders, including:
- Immune Deficiencies: Conditions like Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) can be identified by analyzing T and B cell populations. - Congenital Infections: Infections such as Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and HIV can be detected by identifying specific markers on the infected cells. - Blood Cell Abnormalities: Disorders like anemia or thrombocytopenia can be diagnosed by counting and characterizing red and white blood cells and platelets.
