Abstract: A blood analyzer including a specimen preparation unit, a flow cell, a light source unit, light receivers, and a processing unit. The processing unit is configured to identify and count lymphocytes in the first measurement specimen by using first scattered light information based on the first scattered light and second scattered light information based on the second scattered light, and configured to identify and count blood cells having thereon the predetermined surface antigen in the first measurement specimen by using first fluorescence information based on the first fluorescence.

Abstract: Disclosed is a blood analyzing method including: a step of preparing a measurement sample from blood, a fluorescent dye represented by the following formula 1, and a diluent, a concentration of the fluorescent dye in the measurement sample being greater than or equal to 0.15 ?M and smaller than or equal to 1.0 ?M; a step of acquiring fluorescence information obtained by irradiating the measurement sample with light; and a step of detecting a red blood cell infected with a malaria parasite in the blood based on the fluorescence information.
