Written by nearly 40 expert contributors and containing almost 2000 literature references, tables, drawings, and photographs, Blood Safety and Surveillance immeasurably improves the arsenal of knowledge of hematologists, infectious disease specialists, blood bank personnel, intensive and critical care physicians, internists, public health officials, health care managers, and medical school students in these disciplines.
