The ways in
which we can better understand cancer, HIV, and other autoimmune diseases
through clinical immunology are of great interest to all scientists, from
students to post-graduate practitioners. Designed as an introduction to science
students (MD, MD–PhD, PhD) as well as to more advanced PhDs and medical
practitioners, this book focuses on the importance of immunological concepts in
disease states.
Essential Clinical Immunology begins with the
basic concepts and then details the immunological aspects of various disease
states involving major organs of the body. The book explores how we can better
understand disease and its treatment through clinical immunology. Looking
forward, each chapter concludes with patterns for future research.
