There are cases of discrepancies between the results of a microscopic examination of blood cells by morphological physicians with data obtained using an automatic analyzer in patients with a hematologic profile. It is shown that in some cases the analyzer does not determine changes in the morphology of erythrocytes, allows errors in calculating the leukoformula, differentiation of cells according to the degree of maturity, and evaluation of the number of platelets. The complementary importance of methods of light microscopy and automated blood analysis in patients with suspected pathology of the blood system is underlined.
