Case Studies in Immunology, Seventh Edition is intended for medical students and undergraduate and graduate students in immunology. It presents major topics of immunology through a selection of clinical cases that reinforce and extend the basic science. Each case history is preceded by essential scientific facts about the immunological mechanisms of that specific disorder. The cases themselves demonstrate how immunological problems are deconstructed in the clinic and each one is followed by a concise summary of the clinical finding and questions which can serve as discussion points. The book includes a total of 55 cases and can be used as either a standalone text, review aid, or as a companion to Janeway’s Immunobiology, Ninth Edition and The Immune System, Fourth Edition. Review: Great Clinical Overview of Immunological Disorders - This is an excellent adjunct to a study of immunology. It presents some 55 immunological disorders and in so doing goes through the presentation, the underlying immunological defect, and the potential treatment. It covers a wide range of the more common to the less well seen ones. The presentation of each disease is exceptionally well done and is adequate for a first or second year Med student. It is an introductory approach and in the 55 cases gives a broad coverage of immunological defects. The Immune System is just that, a system. The input is the stem cells in the bone and the output is what these cells do to either invaders from without or to the cells of the person in which they function. One could look at the diseases presented herein as defects along the chain of this system. A missing gene, a defect in the immune cells recognition or response. It would be interesting to approach immune disorders in the context of this systems manner, as say is done with Fault Tree analysis in complex dynamic systems. For example, seeing some defect, one should be able to work backwards and determine what elements in the system chain are defective. The approach in this book is classic Medicine of what the disease is, how to treat it, and a smattering of why it occurred. An overall system approach would be of significant interest as well. Review: Required for school - It's an interesting book

Un título obligatorio en el estudio de la Inmunología Clínica
Me encanta este libro porque nos ayuda a correlacionar los diferentes aspectos de los casos clínicos que se presentan, afortunadamente a través de Amazon puedo contar con él, porque en México no se encuentra, muchas gracias por ponerlo a nuestra disposición. Ojalá que se tenga planeado traducirlo al español como una de las versiones anteriores. Excelente servicio por parte de Amazon, el libro me llegó en el tiempo estipulado y en muy buenas condiciones.

Very comprehensible book on a tough subject
For any clinician interested in immunology. Great coverage of up-to-date topics on case study format. Borrowed previous edition from my colleague and decided it's time to have my own.

Excellent
Too detailed for standard medical practise but the last word in the science of Immunology .
