The message and information in this book are thought provoking and of practical value. I recommend it to every library, public health professional, research scholar, academic, clinician, nurse, manager and care provider in the UK and abroad. (Times Higher Education Supplement )
Case Studies in Immunology, Fifth Edition, cites major topics of immunology as the background to a selection of real clinical cases that serve to reinforce and extend the basic science. This new edition vividly illustrates the importance of an understanding of immunology in diagnosis and therapy. As well as being a valuable review aid, Case Studies in Immunology introduces in a clinical setting the major common disorders of immunity, including hypersensitivity types I-IV and autoimmune disorders such as lupus and multiple sclerosis. It also describes and explains the consequences of some of the most important immune deficiencies. Each case history is preceded by basic scientific facts essential to understanding the immunology behind the disease or disorder. An end-of-case summary, questions, and discussion points finish each case.

Essentials of Clinical Immunology is aimed at clinical medical students and trainee doctors, although it will also appeal to medical professionals seeking a refresher in clinical immunology. The book provides the reader with the core information required to understand diseases with an immunological basis.Reviews from previous edition: "This is a very comprehensive book, and would serve postgraduates well in addition to students embarking on pathology…It is well written by people who know their subject well, and know what information it is important to convey…All the vital areas you might want to read up on are covered more than adequately."
MAD, The Student Magazine for Medics & Dentists at Bart's and the London "Where this book shines is in its integrated approach regarding clinical topics. Each body system, along with specialist topics including transplantation and hypersensitivity has its own chapter, covering both common pathologies involving the immune system and the theory behind these…Well written, integrates clinical topics seamlessly. Case histories provide valuable insight, and self-assessment questions included at the end of each chapter."
2nd Opinion, The Magazine of the Scottish Medical Schools "I think that this is the best of the bunch...much more relevant to our course and a sound investment for the future."
