Review from previous edition 'This is a well-constructed book with a clear practical procedures section: it's concise but thorough - an excellent handbook for those working in chest medicine.' - BMA Medical Book Competition 2010

'This is an excellent pocket reference for clinical immunology and allergy. The sections are arranged to allow for quick retrieval of key facts. It is small and convenient to carry...[it] will be particularly helpful to students or physicians who want a quick, convenient resource to retrieve key facts in a broad range of topics related to this field.' - Doody's Notes
