Atlas of Clinical Hematology
Springer Berlin (Verlag)
978-3-540-21013-9 (ISBN)
The acclaimed Atlas of Clinical Hematology is an encyclopedic presentation of the morphology of every type of normal and abnormal blood cell. A working manual for hematologists as well as a comprehensive introduction for students, the book takes the reader from the examination of blood smears through effective clinical diagnosis. The completely revised and updated fourth edition retains the clarity and instructional quality of previous volumes. Nearly 240 magnificent full-color illustrations and numerous photomicrographs depict all the physiological and pathological conditions discussed. Concise legends provide further documentation of key illustrative material. Many illustrations have been replaced and many photomicrographs added. The text and terminology have been carefully reworked.
A detailed chapter on immunocytologic differentiation of normal cells in lymphatic tissue and malignantlymphomas has been added, including a technique which does not require the use of luminous paints, thus making it possible to evaluate the data with a normal light microscope. The Atlas of Clinical Hematology is an invaluable reference for clinicians and students in the fields of internal medicine, hematology, cytology, tropical diseases, and laboratory medicine.
This 6th edition of the atlas has integrated the 2001 WHO classification and made use of figures and descriptions to document recently described types of leukemia and lymphoma. The latter include leukemias of dendritic cells, rare lymphomas and persistent polyclonal B lymphocytosis, which takes a special place in the classification.
The volume covers all the microscopic methods in hematology that form the basis of diagnosis as well as the results of modern immunologic, cytogenetic and molecular-genetic investigation. Special emphasis is placed on the cytogenetic and molecular-genetic characterization of biological entities that might form the basis for innovative therapies.
Normal results and pathological findings are compared, and the various findings made during therapy are depicted. All in all the Atlas of Clinical Hematology represents a complete and helpful reference work which should be present in every hematologic and oncologic department as well as in clinical laboratories for online diagnostics and scientific research.

From the reviews of the sixth edition:
"With over 1000 illustrations ... the 6th revised edition ... covers the whole spectrum of haematology. ... The quality of the illustrations and the clarity of the accompanying texts make the Atlas a valuable companion to the haematology and oncology professions." (Cancer World, July-August, 2005)
