Infos

• Enables both the haematologist and laboratory scientist to identify blood cell features, from the most common to the more obscure
• Provides essential information on methods of collection, blood film preparation and staining, together with the principles of manual and automated blood counts
• Completely revised and updated, incorporating much newly published information: now includes advice on further tests when a specific diagnosis is suspected
• 400 high quality photographs to aid with blood cell identification
• Highlights the purpose and clinical relevance of haematology laboratory tests throughout

Autor

Professor Barbara J. Bain's research interests are ethnic and other biological differences in haematological variables and cytogenetics in relation to haematological malignancy. She has a major interest in teaching, both undergraduate and postgraduate, as well as in the development of teaching resources such as videos, websites and DVDs. In addition, she has developed international teaching courses for haematologists, haematology trainees, haematopathologists, medical laboratory scientists and cytogeneticists. Amongst other collaborations with experts in the field, she has devised the WHO classification of tumours of the lymphoid haemopoietic systems.
