Abstract

Although primary diagnosis of infectious disease is uncommonly made from morphologic examination of a blood smear in the United States, knowledge of the distinctive morphologic features of various organisms, coupled with an understanding of the clinical and epidemiologic features of various disorders, permits recognition and diagnosis of uncommonly encountered infections. Furthermore, nonspecific manifestations of infection may provide an important clue in guiding a further diagnostic work-up.
