Modern 5-part automated hematology analyzers generate a complete blood count (CBC) that includes an automated white blood cell (WBC) differential. Which ONE of the following cell types is NOT included in the standard five-part WBC differential reported by these analyzers?
Five-part automated hematology analyzers separately enumerate neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. Reticulocytes are immature red blood cells, not leukocytes, so they do not appear in the automated WBC differential. The other options are all leukocyte categories that the analyzer reports individually.
