• PGI Textbook of Laboratory and Clinical Hematology was compiled by an international group of authors and editors. • The editorial team led by Koyamangalath Krishnan and ably supported by Bakul Dalal, Amar Dasgupta, Pankaj Malhotra, Neelam Varma, and Subhash Varma have successfully brought together the experience of a team of 104 international PGI-trained authors from India, USA, UK, Canada, Middle East, and Singapore to create a finely distilled hematology textbook that is a blend of pathophysiology, genetics, laboratory principles, and clinical management of hematological disorders. • Postgraduate trainees in both clinical and laboratory hematology and practicing hematologists will find the textbook a ready source of current information written in an easy-to-read format. • Comprehensive coverage of non-malignant and malignant hematology and transfusion medicine. • A thorough coverage of laboratory diagnosis encompassing morphology, flow cytometry, cytology, including molecular genetics, and diagnostic algorithms; a detailed coverage of clinical features; and an in-depth discussion of management make this book a complete compendium of knowledge. • 209 chapters written by a team of authors associated with PGI, the book is replete with references to the Indian experience, challenges in resource-limited settings and community or small hospital hematology laboratories, recent developments in hematology, and practice points. Newer topics like COVID-related hematological disorders and VEXAS syndrome are included. • The extensive collective experience of the authors and editors is brought to fruition in this outstanding resource. The content and delivery of hematology in the PGI Textbook of Laboratory and Clinical Hematology are a testament to the multidisciplinary nature of hematology, and epitomize the “bench to bedside and back” approach.
