Active
Term Description
CLSI (formerly NCCLS) document "Reference Leukocyte Differential Count (Proportional) and Evaluation of Instrumental Methods", 1992, recommend the use of variant lymphocytes rather than atypical or reactive lymphocytes.
Part Description
LP15072-9 Lymphocytes.variant
Variant lymphocytes (also called reactive or atypical) are a type of abnormal lymphocyte found in the peripheral blood. They can be a marker for certain viral illnesses, including infectious mononucleosis, viral hepatitis, CMV, HIV, and rubella, and can also occur as part of a drug reaction to drugs such as phenytoin and para-aminosalicylic acid.

- Microscopy is a better way to describe this test than manual count; The PrThr property is used for LOINC terms whose results are reported using an ordered categorical scale, regardless of whether or not an internal threshold was used to make that determination. This change was approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.
