Question:
Amy O from USA asked on June 19, 2012:
Can you tell whether a patient has a peritonitis by looking at the monocytes on the differential? I know you are suppose to look at the neutrophils but was wondering if you can diagnose based on the monocytes. Thank you.

Expert A, from (United States):
You cannot use moncytes in the differential to diagnose peritonitis.
