    Abstract

    This chapter presents an introduction to several diseases of the blood including infectious mononucleosis, leukemia, thrombosis and coagulation, bone marrow disorders, malaria, and anemia. in addition a survey of the recent literature is presented relative to natural products that have been utilized for the treatment of these diseases. The natural products that are reported represent a wide range of structural types and present interesting mechanisms of action. Thus the possibility exists that new drugs may be developed from these natural products which are more effective than those currently on the market.
