This is an essential guide to the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of hematologic problems in the neonate. Guidance is practical, including blood test interpretation, advice on transfusions and reference ranges for hematological values. Chapters have been thoroughly revised according to the latest advances in the field for this updated third edition. Topics discussed include erythrocyte disorders, platelet disorders, leukocyte disorders, immunologic disorders and hemostatic disorders. Coverage of oncological issues has been expanded to two separate chapters on leukemia and solid tumors, making information more easily accessible. Approaches to identifying the cause of anemia in a neonate are explained, with detailed algorithms provided to aid clinicians in practice.

'This third edition represents another step forward in the development of this reference book. The world-renowned editors and authors have made this book the 'go-to' reference for this topic.General texts on neonatology and hematology can only devote limited space to these topics and there is no other comparable book that has been published recently to which this one can be compared … this book will be an important resource for the healthcare providers caring for this vulnerable population.'
