Description

Hematology is a branch of medicine that deals with the study of causes, treatments, prognosis and prevention of blood-related diseases. It is concerned with the treatment of diseases that affect the production of blood and its constituents including blood cells, hemoglobin, platelets, bone marrow, blood proteins, spleen and blood vessels. The microbiological culture of the blood detects infections that spread through the bloodstream, such as bacteremia and sepsis. Bacteremia is an infectious disease that is caused by the presence of bacteria in the blood. It is treated with antibiotics. The reverse response of the immune system to the bacteria or other pathogens such as fungi, viruses and protozoan causes sepsis. The book presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. It strives to provide a fair idea about infections in hematology and to help develop a better understanding of their diagnosis and management. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
