Abstract
This chapter deals primarily with infections that occur predominantly in tropical countries in which the organisms can be visualized in the blood or bone marrow. These infections include malaria, filariasis, trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis. The chapter also covers haematological abnormalities such as anaemia, changes in white cell counts and platelet counts, and hypersplenism, that occur as secondary effects of conditions that are common in tropical countries.
