Storage‐related artefacts in equine blood result in a pseudo‐inflammatory leukogram
In most conditions, leukocyte counts decreased by 48 h, but remained within reference intervals in blood stored up to 120 h. Storage-related leukocyte changes in blood stored under conditions mimicking ambulatory practice resulted in a pseudo-inflammatory leukogram, which could alter interpretation and patient management.
