ABSTRACT

This up-to-date immunology textbook provides a clear and simple introduction to clinical and laboratory immunology for health professionals in training or in practice. It covers:

  • essential basic immunology
  • clinical immunology
  • laboratory investigations of immunological disorders
  • treatments used in immunological disorders.

Focusing on clinical problems seen in practice and including self-assessment questions and case histories to aid learning and understanding, this is an invaluable resource for all medical students, nurses, nutritionists, pharmacists and physiotherapists.
