For anaemia, neutropenia, and thrombopenia, only auto-immune cytopenia must be considered
Exclusion of vitamin or iron deficiency, drug-induced cytopenia
No=0 Absence of autoimmune cytopenia
Low=2 Cytopenia of autoimmune origin with neutropenia (1000<neutrophils<1500/mm3), and/or anaemia (10<haemoglobin<12 g/dL), and/or thrombocytopenia (100 000<platelets<150 000/mm3)
Or lymphopenia (500<lymphocytes<1000/mm3)
Moderate=4 Cytopenia of autoimmune origin with neutropenia (500≤ neutrophils ≤1000/mm3), and/or anaemia (8≤ haemoglobin ≤10 g/dL), and/or thrombocytopenia (50 000 ≤ platelets ≤100 000/mm3)
Or lymphopenia (≤500/mm3)
High=6 Cytopenia of autoimmune origin with neutropenia (neutrophils<500/mm3), and/or or anaemia (haemoglobin<8 g/dL) and/or thrombocytopenia (platelets<50 000/mm3)
