A discussion of clinical haematology, which balances fundamental theories with clinical applications. It includes learning aids, such as chapter outlines and objectives, case studies, protocols, review questions with answers, and more. New to this edition are: separate chapters on anaemias and other erythrocyte disorders; a chapter on molecular genetics and morphology; an expanded instrumentation chapter featuring sample problems; more information on lupus inhibitors, including tests for detection; expanded coverage of platelet aggregation; revised information on acute leukaemia explaining features of each type of myelogenous or lymphoid leukaemia; section headings; and a two-colour design. A separate colour plate section allows the reader to view and differentiate haematologic disorders.
