Background:
Triclonal patterns (TP) in immunofixation (IF), characterized by the presence of three different immunoglobulin bands, are a very rare finding: we have recently reported an incidence of 0.1% (representing 0.82% of all clonal patterns detected), in 0.1% of patients tested, in an 11-year series of 46 249 immunofixation essays, collected from 29 704 patients.
