The exact reason for neutrophil aggregation in vitro has not been clarified, its relation to the use of ethylene diamine tetra acetate acid as an anticoagulant has been described in adults A 3-year-old boy was referred to Valli e Asr hospital Arak, Iran. The EDTA blood sample was first loaded with the Impedance-based KX-11 Sysmex, which showed a decrease in neutrophils and was observed in the peripheral blood of the Neutrophil aggregation.
