Index.

"It has been more than 20 years since the publication of a textbook
that focused on hemophilia and, consequently, this book seeks to
and successfully fills an obvious void." (New England Journal of
Medicine)

"The excellent reviews in this book will make it useful to a
wide audience." (New England Journal of Medicine)

"This textbook not only will be a compulsory text for all
haemophilia centres but will also serve as a valuable reference
book for medical and biomedical scientists in training in
haematology." (British Journal of Biomedical Science)

"...this is the best haemophilia textbook on the market today."
(Clinical and Laboratory Haematology)

"The target audience is trainees, as well as practising
haematologists and haemophilia specialists. All members of the
multidisciplinary team delivering haemophilia care including
nurses, physiotherapists, laboratory technicians, and data managers
will also appreciate the book. This is a book each haemophilia
centre should have available and accessible. In practise, it is
likely that most specialists will wish to purchase their own copy."
