2nd edition. — Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 1998. — 332 p.
Logically organized and easy-to-understand, this invaluable second edition provides comprehensive coverage for all areas of clinical hematology. Essential information on the disorders of hematology and hemostasis and the laboratory studies used in their diagnosis and treatment are presented in a clear and efficient style. Special focus is placed on the sources of technical and physiologic error in procedures, and their possible solutions. Case studies at the end of many chapters include study questions for reinforcement of learned material. Coverage includes: / bone marrow evaluation / blood cell cytochemistry / body fluid evaluation / hematologic instrumentation, and / quality control for hematology and hemostasis laboratories. New in this edition: Information on / molecular biology / bone marrow stem cell transplantation / markers for thrombosis / new learning aids, including chapter objectives, more case studies, chapter review questions, a glossary, and more color plates
