Non-Neoplastic Hematopathology and Infections

Most books on hematopathology are neoplastic in scope and offerlittle non-neoplastic content. In Non-Neoplastic Hematopathologyand Infections, the authors fully describe the hematologicmanifestations in tissue and blood of infectious agents, includingmany rare and exotic diseases found in both Western and Easternhemispheres, in order to assist pathologists and medical laboratoryprofessionals all over the world in better diagnosing and treatingsuch infections.

Thoroughly illustrated with photographs, tables and text, thisbook features a wide range of non-neoplastic hematologic disorders,as well as reactive patterns of non-infectious and infectiousagents. Comprehensive and state-of-the-art diagnostic materials aredescribed, as are the epidemiology, pathobiology, clinical andpathologic manifestations in blood and lymphatic organs—aswell as the approaches to treatment.

In addition, Non-Neoplastic Hematopathology andInfections:

• Contains detailed information on the pathology and patterns ofblood, lymph node, and a number of bone marrow and splenicinfections and infectious agent manifestations

• Thoroughly updates the classic pathology of reactivelymphadenopathies and extends this pattern-based approach totropical and emergent infections

• Promotes the multidisciplinary integration of hematopathologistsand microbiologists in the analysis and diagnostic work-up oftissue and blood

• Complements current major treatises on such tropical diseases asManson’s, Ashworth’s, and Doerr’s and updates the classic tomes ofWilliam St. Clair Symmers and current texts on neoplastichematopathology

Non-Neoplastic Hematopathology and Infections is animportant book for any medical professional interested innon-neoplastic hematology, infections and tissue hematopathology,infectious diseases and tropical medicine, and tropicalhematopathology.
