This text describes the laboratory techniques used in the investigation of patients with blood diseases. Each test that is described is accompanied by an explanation of the principle involved, the reliability and causes of error, interpretation of results and clinical significance. The use of standards, reference reagents and quality control is stressed, and recommendations of the International Council for Standardization in Haematology are described where these are available. The book has been updated, and there is a new chapter on DNA technology, including antenatal diagnosis of blood disorders. The chapters on haemostasis, serology and laboratory aspects of blood transfusion have been revised. Recent developments in blood-cell counters and automation are described. With three now in full colour, it should provide the user with a useful account of laboratory techniques and aid accurate interpretation of results.

Churchill/Livingstone

In this volume on the auto-immune haemolytic anaemias, the author has attempted to continue the story of their understanding and treatment from the point reached when Part II of the second edition of "The Haemolytic Anaemias" was published in 1962. The result has been a volume greatly increased in size, an increase reflecting the substantial advances that have taken place in the past 30 years in the understanding of the structure of antibodies and of the mechanism and regulation of their formation, as well as the genesis of auto-immune diseases. It also reflects the burgeoning understanding of the complexity of the human blood-group antigens and of the complement system and also of the way in which the body deals with antibody-affected erythrocytes.
