Abstract:	This book offers a comprehensive, cutting-edge selection of real-life case studies for in-depth investigation into the impact of immunology on modern medical diagnosis and treatment. Twenty-six case studieseffectively cover: immunodeficiency diseases, immediate hyper-sensitivity and mast cell disorders, autoimmune disorders, and malignancies of the lymphoid system. Each chapter presents a case study with a detailed background of the relevant immunological disorder, real data, references, and a conclusion, with interwoven discussion questions throughout. Each case study puts the individual patient into a larger context of the disease as it is seen in the patient population as a whole. Full-color photographs and illustrations complement the case studies, while a uniform presentation of the material across the book enhances readability. This book offers medical students and professionals the complete tools necessary to understand and evaluate common clinical scenarios, and to teach these clinical conditions to others. It may be used alone or as a companion to the widely acclaimed Immunology: A Short Course, Sixth Edition (Wiley, ISBN: 0470081589).
