LOINC display name : Manual Differential panel (Bld);
LOINC long common name : Manual Differential panel - Blood;
LOINC short name : Manual diff Bld;
LOINC description : We have specified very few terms as required in this panel because laboratories use
different approaches to reporting rarely occurring cell types and morphology findings.
The terms marked as C (conditional) must be included in the panel if the count for
that cell type is non zero. However, it is expected that all observed and clinically
important cell types and morphology findings will be included in the manual differential
count panel. The Panel provides optional ways of reporting special findings. Morphology
findings can be reported as ordinals-e.g rare, few, many - via the discrete LOINC
codes provided, or as simple list of the findings seen (via the morphology nominal
LOINC terms);
