Flow cytometric evaluation of circulating CD34+ cell counts and apoptotic rate in children with acquired aplastic anemia and myelodysplasia

Flow cytometry evaluation of PB CD34+ AR and counts is a noninvasive and feasible first-step method for the differentiation of AA and myelodysplasia (MDS), and it might be useful for monitoring AA during IST to secure the early detection of relapse or transformation to MDS.
