Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to introduce the hematology. This chapter is divided into four parts, which include iron-deficiency anemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, hemorrhagic disease of the newborn, and hemophilia. Iron-deficiency anemia is estimated that iron deficiency affects nearly 2,170 million persons worldwide and 30% of the world population, i.e. 1,200 million of them suffer from nutritional anemia; of these, 90% are in the developing countries. Infants, preschool children, adolescents and women from child bearing age are at greatest risk of developing anemia. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a malignant proliferation of lymphoid cells blocked at an early stage of differentiation and accounts for three-fourths of all cases of childhood leukemia. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common cancer diagnosed in children. Hemorrhagic disease of the newborn is a rare bleeding problem that can occur after birth. It is classified according to the timing of its first symptoms as early onset, classic onset, or late onset. The disease is caused by vitamin K deficiency.
