Essentials of Clinical Immunology

Essentials of Clinical Immunology is aimed at clinical medical students and trainee doctors, although it will also appeal to career grade doctors seeking a refresher in clinical immunology. The book provides the reader with the core information required to understand diseases that have an immunological basis. This includes coverage of the underlying pathophysiology and signs and symptoms of disease, as well as the special investigations required and management of patients. The book's emphasis is very much on the clinical aspects with numerous real life case histories used to illustrate key concepts throughout the text. The book also contains MCQs at the end of each chapter for self-assessment. There is an accompanying web site (www.immunologyclinic.com) which includes further case histories, references to further reading and a colour image archive.This new edition is fully updated and is now in full colour throughout improving the general presentation and usability of this core clinical immunology textbook.
