This outstanding bench-side atlas describes concisely the common conditions affecting both the blood and bone marrow of adults. It explains the best ways to approach different hematologic preparations and how to interpret them correctly. More than 180 clear images provide examples of normal findings as well as abnormalities and a differential diagnosis of the disease states in which they occur. A Free CD-ROM, featuring downloadable images is included with the book.
