Infos

Most books on hematopathology are neoplastic in scope and offer
little non-neoplastic content. In Non-Neoplastic Hematopathology
and Infections, the authors fully describe the hematologic
manifestations in tissue and blood of infectious agents, including
many rare and exotic diseases found in both Western and Eastern
hemispheres, in order to assist pathologists and medical laboratory
professionals all over the world in better diagnosing and treating
such infections.

Thoroughly illustrated with photographs, tables and text, this
book features a wide range of non-neoplastic hematologic disorders,
as well as reactive patterns of non-infectious and infectious
agents. Comprehensive and state-of-the-art diagnostic materials are
described, as are the epidemiology, pathobiology, clinical and
pathologic manifestations in blood and lymphatic organs--as
well as the approaches to treatment.

In addition, Non-Neoplastic Hematopathology and
Infections:

* Contains detailed information on the pathology and patterns of
blood, lymph node, and a number of bone marrow and splenic
infections and infectious agent manifestations

* Thoroughly updates the classic pathology of reactive
lymphadenopathies and extends this pattern-based approach to
tropical and emergent infections

* Promotes the multidisciplinary integration of hematopathologists
and microbiologists in the analysis and diagnostic work-up of
tissue and blood

* Complements current major treatises on such tropical diseases as
Manson's, Ashworth's, and Doerr's and updates the classic tomes of
William St. Clair Symmers and current texts on neoplastic
hematopathology

Non-Neoplastic Hematopathology and Infections is an
important book for any medical professional interested in
non-neoplastic hematology, infections and tissue hematopathology,
infectious diseases and tropical medicine, and tropical
hematopathology.

Autor

Hernani Cualing MD, is Associate Professor in the Department of Pathology and Cell Biology and Director of the Hematopathology Fellowship Training Program at the University of South Florida College of Medicine in Tampa, Florida. He is also an active hematopathologist at the Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute there. In addition to his research into such topics as mantle cell and T cell lymphomas, Dr. Cualing has long been fascinated with the analysis, diagnosis, and treatment of non-neoplastic and infectious blood, marrow, and lymph diseases. Parul Bhargava, MD, is Medical Director in the Hematology Laboratory at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center-Needham Campus in Boston, and a staff and faculty physician in the Pathology department there. Her primary research interests are in studying hematopoietic neoplasms and newer markers in Hodgkin Lymphoma, but she also has a strong, separate clinical interest in studying the effects of immunodeficiency and infections, particularly HIV, on the hematopoietic system. Ramon L. Sandin, MD, MS, FCAP, ABP-MM, is a Clinical Pathologist and Medical Director of Clinical Microbiology and Virology in the Department of Hematopathology, Laboratory Medicine, and in the Blood and Marrow Transplant Program at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida 33612-9497. His special areas of expertise and research interests are in clinical microbiology and virology, and laboratory diagnosis of infectious diseases. This includes 'wet' laboratory work-ups and tissue section diagnosis as well as molecular diagnostic techniques.

Rezensionen

"An ambitious book . . . comprehensive in coverage of the wide range of non-neoplastic hematopathology. It has a particular emphasis on tropical and non-tropical infectious diseases including parasitic diseases. It should be especially useful for hematologists, hematopathologists, general pathologists, and infectious disease specialists, but should also be useful for internists, primary care physicians, and those in training. It particularly emphasizes morphologic aspects of infections which may have hematologic manifestations or present diagnostic problems." -- James Warren Smith, MD, Nordschow Professor Emeritus of Laboratory Medicine, Former Chair, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine; Past President, Binford-Dammin Society of Infectious Disease Pathologists
