Disease patterns of some hematologic disorders and leukemia in this regard are dynamically changing and are coming common problems of Africa, and Ethiopia in particular. Indeed, in most hospitals personnel working around the issue of leukemia diagnosis have limited resources and capacities to analyze blood disease, and as a result, mis -diagnosis is common.

Therefore, personnel equipped with knowledge and advanced technologies in such respects is mandatory to help in investigation and diagnosis of patients for better treatment and management. Thus, this book aims to elucidate the proper channels, techniques and technologies of leukemia diagnosis to follow to develop leukemia diagnosis in developing laboratories. In addition, it further helps students and laboratory workers to have proper images of cells in different types of leukemia.
