Short description
Immunology: Clinical Case Studies and Disease Pathophysiology offers a comprehensive, cutting-edge selection of real life immunology case studies for in-depth investigation into the impact of immunology on modern medical diagnosis and treatment. Each chapter is a case that provides detailed background into the relevant immunological disorder, real data, references, a conclusion, discussion questions, and problem sets. This exciting new book may be used alone or as a companion to the new, sixth edition of the famous text-reference, Immunology: A Short Course, 6th ed, by Coico and Sunshine, especially as the two books are cross-referenced to each other.
