Case Studies in Immunology: A Clinical Companion (Geha, Case Studies in Immunology: A Clinical Companion) by Raif S. Geha

Description

Case Studies in Immunology recapitulates major topics of immunology as the background to a selection of real clinical cases that serve to reinforce and extend the basic science, vividly illustrating the importance of an understanding of immunology in diagnosis and therapy. As well as being a valuable revision aid, Case Studies in Immunology introduces in a clinical setting the major common disorders of immunity, including hypersensitivity types I-IV and autoimmune disorders such as lupus and show more autoimmune diabetes. It also describes and explains the consequences of some of the most important immune deficiencies. Each case history is preceded by basic scientific facts essential to understanding the immunology behind the disease or disorder. An end-of-case summary, questions, and discussion points end each case. Five new cases have been added to this latest edition: * Omenn's Syndrome * Graft-versus-Host Disease * X-linked Lymphoproliferative Syndrome * Multiple Sclerosis * Auto Lymphoproliferative Syndrome Can be used as a stand alone text or alongside the bestselling Immunobiology by Janeway et al. or Parham's recently published The Immune System. show less

licensed physician specialist: The last reviewer's frustration is understandable given that this book is really meant for the medical student who has taken physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology in detail and has some clinical experience. It is most helpful for the senior medical student or resident taking an immunology elective--and even the immunologist studying for board exams! The reader must be already familiar with a lot of basic immunology in order to understand the figures without needing much explanation. I thought the book is excellent for synthesizing a very complex subject and adding clinical relevance.
