The Full blood count in inflammatory disorders, all
are true except:
1-normochromic normocytic anaemia is much more common
than hypochromic microcytic one
2-the platelets are usually elevated and may reflects
an active disease
3-the differential white cell count is highly variable
4-in systemic necrotising vasculitis, usually there is
leucocytosis with neutropaenia
5-in systemic inflammatory diseases, neutrophilia may
simply reflect treatment with corticosteroids
