Neonatal Haematology: A Practical Guide

This unique handbook contains comprehensive
coverage of neonatal haematology and aids diagnosis via high-quality images,
diagnostic algorithms, case studies, and tables. With illustrations
accompanying the diagnosis at each stage and clear explanations provided
throughout, the book is ideal for trainees and experts alike.

Authored by two of the world’s leading
haematologists, Professor Irene Roberts and Professor Barbara Bain, this book
provides a depth of knowledge that is unequalled in other texts. To aid in
reader comprehension, it is neatly organised by clinical problems and covers
sample topics such as:

• Red cells: morphology, membrane, enzymes, and changes over the first 4
  weeks of life

• Haemolytic anaemias: causes of neonatal haemolysis, diagnostic clues, and
  immune haemolysis (haemolytic disease of the newborn)

• Neonatal anaemia due to blood loss: causes of blood loss, diagnostic clues,
  feto-maternal haemorrhage, and twin-to-twin transfusion

• Haematological signs of neonatal infection: causes of neutrophil left
  shift, leucoerythroblastosis, and toxic granulation

  Paediatric haematologists, consultant
  haematologists, and trainees in haematology can use the succinct, well-written
  content in this book as a useful helping hand during consultation. Biomedical
  scientists will also value the work as a laboratory reference.
