"An ambitious book . . . comprehensive in coverage of the wide range of non-neoplastic hematopathology. It has a particular emphasis on tropical and non-tropical infectious diseases including parasitic diseases. It should be especially useful for hematologists, hematopathologists, general pathologists, and infectious disease specialists, but should also be useful for internists, primary care physicians, and those in training. It particularly emphasizes morphologic aspects of infections which may have hematologic manifestations or present diagnostic problems." --James Warren Smith, MD, Nordschow Professor Emeritus of Laboratory Medicine, former chair, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine; past president, Binford-Dammin Society of Infectious Disease Pathologists United States & Canadian Academy of Pathology Most books on hematopathology are neoplastic in scope and offer little non-neoplastic content. In "Non-Neoplastic Hematopathology and Infections," the authors fully describe the hematologic manifestations in tissue and blood of infectious agents, including many rare and exotic diseases found in both Western and Eastern hemispheres, in order to assist pathologists and medical laboratory professionals all over the world in better diagnosing and treating such infections. Thoroughly illustrated with photographs, tables and text, this book features a wide range of non-neoplastic hematologic disorders, as well as reactive patterns of non-infectious and infectious agents. Comprehensive and state-of-the-art diagnostic materials are described, as are the epidemiology, pathobiology, clinical and pathologic manifestations in blood and lymphatic organs--as well as the approaches to treatment. In addition, "Non-Neoplastic Hematopathology and Infections" Contains detailed information on the pathology and patterns of blood, lymph node, and a number of bone marrow and splenic infections and infectious agent manifestations Thoroughly updates the classic pathology of reactive lymphadenopathies and extends this pattern-based approach to tropical and emergent infections Promotes the multidisciplinary integration of hematopathologists and microbiologists in the analysis and diagnostic work-up of tissue and blood Complements current major treatises on such tropical diseases as Manson's, Ashworth's, and Doerr's and updates the classic tomes of William St. Clair Symmers and current texts on neoplastic hematopathology "Non-Neoplastic Hematopathology and Infections" is an important book for any medical professional interested in non-neoplastic hematology, infections and tissue hematopathology, infectious diseases and tropical medicine, and tropical hematopathology.
