Non-Neoplastic Hematopathology and Infections

Many infectious agents disseminate in blood and the lymphatic system, and many of these infections are also tropical diseases that affect a large segment of the world’s population, including travelers, immigrants, and refugees. The authors have carefully incorporated in this new book those diseases found in both Western and Eastern hemispheres, in order to assist pathologists and medical laboratory professionals all over the world to better diagnose and treat infections that may be expected, or indeed quite unusual for a given geographic region. The book features a wide range of non-neoplastic hematologic disorders, as well as reactive patterns of non-infectious and infectious agents, all thoroughly illustrated with photographs, tables and text. In addition to the comprehensive and state-of-the-art diagnostic materials, the epidemiology, pathobiology, clinical and pathologic manifestations in blood and lymphatic organs, as well as approaches to treatment, are also described.
