Haematological disorders detectable on peripheral blood film

The detection of haematological diseases on peripheral blood film is key to Medical Laboratory students because peripheral blood film is a golden store of haematological information, if well prepared, well stained and examined appropriately. If the students understand it well, they will be able to give good film reports that lead to diagnosis of patient's condition. This means that the student will be self-directed and competent in this area and will help doctors to make appropriate diagnosis.Lecturers of haematology will find it easy to facilitate learning when using this book because it has diagrammatic presentations of various anaemias including some leukaemias and haematological changes of blood cells in HIV infections. It is useful when teaching both theory and practical skills in haematology.
