This resource addresses both common and rare haematologic problems in neonates. In one volume, it presents practical guidance needed for the diagnosis and treatment of a full range of blood disorders in term and preterm neonates. It also outlines how to diagnose and treat the various neonatal anaemias, polycythemia, erythroblatosis, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, disorders of red cell metabolism, abnormalities, complement, and haemoglobin synthesis and metabolism. It explores rundamental topics such as haematopoiesis in the human embryo and foetus, haematopoietic growth factors and their receptors, disorders of the haematopoiesis that are manifest during the neonatal period, and haematologic aspects of the maternal-foetal relationship. Blood banking issues relevant to perinatal medicine is also reviewed.

Section I Haematopoiesis and haematopoietic growth factors: embryonic haematopoieses; foetal granulocytopoises; foetal erythropoiesis; foetal megakaryocytopoiesis; non-haematopoietic actions of the haematopoitec growth factors in the foetus and the neonate; disorders of haematopoiesis that are manifest during the neonatal period; haematologic aspects of the maternal-foetal relationship. Section II A practical guide to solving haematologic problems of neonates: normal haematologic laboratory values of the foetus and neonate; evaluation and treatment of anaemia in the neonate; evaluation and treatment of polycythemia in the neonate; evaluation and treatment of erythroblastosis fetalis in the neonate; evaluation and treatment of disorders of red cell metabolism that are manifest during the neonatal period; developmental aspects of blood coagulation, and disorders of coagulation that are manifest during the neonatal period; developmental aspects of platelets and disorders of platelets that are manifest during the neonatal period; developmental aspects of leukocytes, and disorders of leukocytes that are manifest during the neonatal period; developmental aspects of the complement, and disorders of the complement system that are manifest during the neonatal period; developmental aspects of haemoglobin synthesis and metabolism, and disorders of haemoglobin synthesis and metabolism that are manifest during the neonatal period; the use of haematologic data to evaluate infections in neonates; blood banking issues in perinatal medicine.
