Abstract

<p>A working group for the standardization of puncture fluid established by the Japanese Association of Medical Technologists has compiled the methods of cytometry, cytotaxonomy, and reporting for the puncture fluid test. First, cells were counted, except red blood cells. Next, we employed the Samson classification method and Giemsa staining for the cytotaxonomic classification of three cell types. The Samson classification method classified cells into polymorphonuclear cells, lymphocytes, and other cells. Giemsa staining classified cells into neutrophils, lymphocytes, and other cells, and the percentage of each type of cell was shown. If the details of other cells were known, they would be recorded as supplemental information. The reports based on the results of these classification methods may indicate acute inflammation, chronic inflammation, or leaky pathology. They were also useful for primary screening and for determining the next tests, such as microbiology tests and cytology.</p>
