Hematological disorders in children and adolescents pose a wide range of
management challenges and treatment dilemmas. In this book an
internationally acclaimed panel of authors, each chosen for expertise in
their field, have produced a state-of-the-art collection of review
articles focusing on the very latest advances and controversies in the
management of pediatric and adolescent hematological problems. The whole
range of benign and malignant, congenital and acquired, acute and chronic
conditions is discussed in detail. Individual chapters cover hematologic
problems on the pediatric intensive care unit, treatments for iron
deficiency and ITP, advances in stem cell transplantation, gene therapy,
novel pharmaceutics and molecular diagnostics, as well as transition from
child to adult are also explored. Providing an up-to-date look at both
specific hematologic disorders in the pediatric and adolescent population
and also hematologic problems that arise in association with systemic
disease, this book is essential reading not only for pediatric and adult
hematologists but also for pediatricians, pediatric or hematologic
specialist nurse practitioners and pediatric pharmacologists.
