Pediatric Hematology, 2/e is a comprehensive and succinct referenced text on the diagnosis and treatment of blood diseases in childhood. It provides a ready source of reference for all the conditions likely to be encountered in day-to-day clinical practice. For each condition, advice is given on differential diagnoses and clinical management. There is also a useful section listing normal values for paediatric haematological variables, which is ideal for daily referral purposes. This second edition has been extensively updated throughout in light of recent developments. In particular, where appropriate, there is discussion of the molecular aspects of disease and the clinical application of gene therapy and cytokines.
