    Summary: This book provides a comprehensive overview of benign hematologic disorders in children. Divided into nine sections, the text reviews common hematologic disorders or conditions that affect children, while providing state-of-the-art information on pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and management strategies. The text begins with a section on hematopoiesis, and the next section covers red blood cell disorders. The following sections provide overviews of platelet disorders, white blood cell disorders, and coagulation disorders. The sixth and seventh sections discuss neonatal hematology and bone marrow failure syndrome. The eighth section reviews supportive care, while the final section covers miscellaneous subjects including pediatric vascular anomalies and complement dysregulation syndromes. Written by experts in the field, Benign Hematologic Disorders in Children: A Clinical Guide is a valuable resource for clinicians and practitioners who treat children afflicted with these disorders.

    During a 4-week period, Aspergillus fumigatus caused disease in 2 patients and colonized a third patient in a renal transplant ward. Our investigation indicated that increased exposure of these patients to spores probably occurred during renovation of the ward one floor above it. Cases were significantly clustered (P = 0.014) during the period when work overhead caused dust to filter down through pores in the acoustical tiles of the false ceiling of the renal transplant ward. Swab cultures demonstrated A. fumigatus in the dust, and air samples showed heavy contamination with A. fumigatus and other fungi at and below a renovation site, but not on 2 distant wards. We concluded that dust can be an important source of aspergilli and that release of dust and spores during activities such as renovation may increase the risk of nosocomial Aspergillus infection in exposed, immunosuppressed patients.
