A relational database was developed to facilitate the diagnosis of hematopoietic neoplasms using results of immunophenotyping by flow cytometry. This database runs on personal computers and uses backward-chaining search to arrive at conclusions. Results of immunologic marker studies are processed by the database to obtain a set of differential diagnoses. The current version of this database includes diagnostic immunophenotyping pattern for 33 hematopoietic neoplasms. We tested this database using 92 clinical cases from 2 tertiary care medical centers. The database ranked the actual diagnosis as 1 of the top 5 differential diagnoses in 93% of the cases tested. The user can modify the database contents to suit individual needs. This database has been posted on the World Wide Web for direct access. We propose that this user-friendly database is a potential tool for computer-assisted diagnosis of hematopoietic neoplasms.
