DESCRIERE

Basic science and clinical immunology are demystified for the medical and other health science student! The basic immunological processes are described first, with a level of detail restricted to what is appropriate for medical and other similar curricula. In the second part of the book immunological mechanisms behind major diseases of the various body systems are explained. Throughout the text clinical details are highlighted and more in-depth material is differentiated from the main text.
