Description
This new reference examines specimen processing of effusion fluids, detailing the steps needed to obtain more accurate diagnoses while
avoiding common pitfalls. A methodical, algorithmic approach to the evaluation and interpretation of specimens enables you to establish
a definitive diagnosis in these often difficult cases. User-friendly features - combined with extensive tables and algorithms - facilitate
ease of interpretation, and highlighted information makes the most essential concepts easy to reference quickly.
