Case Studies in Immunology
A Clinical Companion
Seventh Edition
2 January 2016
THE PERFECT COMPANION FOR JANEWAY’S IMMUNOLOGY AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
With a total of 55 cases, this text can be used standalone, as a review aid, or as a companion to Janeway’s Immunobiology and The Immune System. Case Studies in Immunology adds a clinical dimension to the teaching of an inherently medically oriented discipline.
A CONSISTENT LEARNING STRUCTURE PROMOTES UNDERSTANDING
Each case is presented in the same format to illustrate, in a clinical context, essential points about the mechanism of immunity. Additionally, the cases explain some of the immunological problems often seen in the clinic and, when possible, show how human immune disorders may lead to targetted interventions.
UPDATED AND EXPANDED COVERAGE
This collection has been thoroughly updated and expanded to keep pace with the rapidly advancing field of immunology. The addition of new cases ensures that all students, especially those in or preparing for medical careers, learn and understand the impact that disorders of the immune system have on human health.
