"This is the only current comprehensive text on histiocytic disordersan essential addition to the libraries of those who are interested in these fascinating diseases."--Doody's Review Service
Excellent Resource for a rare blood disease My daughter has LCH and has had it since childhood. This book has been informative and helped to guide us and give us some answers. Knowledge is power. Knowledge is comforting. I recommend this comprehensive book to anyone with Histio or anyone with a family member struggling with this "orphan disease" that is under funded for research to find the cure.
