"The Hereditary Hemolytic Anemias", is a companion volume to "Acquired Immune Hermolytic Anemias". It examines the hereditary anemias individually, and as a group, with regard to their history, relationship to malaria, the diagnostic techniques used to study them, clinical features, pathophysiology, and therapy. An effort has been made to underscore the importance that the melding of basic science and clinical medicine has had in developing our understanding of these diseases. Hereditary anemias are usually first detected during infancy and childhood, but with more and more of even the more severely afflicted patients surviving to adulthood, contributors familiar with the manifestations of these diseases at all stages of life have been selected to provide articles for this book.
