This work provides comprehensive coverage of immunology at an undergraduate level. It includes topics such as immunity to infection, vaccination, gender and the immune system, tumour immunology, and transplantation.
Case Studies in Infectious Disease presents forty case studies featuring the most important human infectious diseases worldwide. Written for students of microbiology and medicine this book describes the natural history of infection from point of entry of the pathogen through pathogenesis, followed by clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment. Five core sets of questions are posed in each case. What is the nature of the infectious agent, how does it gain access to the body, what cells are infected, and how does the organism spread? What are the host defense mechanisms against the agent and how is the disease caused? What are the typical manifestations of the infection and the complications that can occur? How is the infection diagnosed and what is the differential diagnosis? How is the infection managed, and what preventative measures can be taken to avoid infection? This standardized approach provides the reader with a logical basis for understanding these diverse and medically important organisms, fully integrating microbiology and immunology throughout.

This new textbook is the first to be based on clinical conditions and this the first to take a truly integrated approach to the topic. Arranged alphabetically,'Pathology Integrated' presents the common clinical conditions a student or junior house officer is likely to meet. These are based on the 'core' knowledge a student requires to pass the final examinations. Divided into three levels of knowledge the book focuses mainly on core conditions . These core entries consist of a typical case history and essential pathology, including illustrations and interpretation of key data. There is also a small clinical footnote on the normal management and treatment of that condition. Non-core conditions of lesser importance and 'one-line' definition entries combine to make this text an unsurpassable resource. The author team combines experts from all pathological disciplines. They are also advised by an international team and a clinical consultant, thus ensuring accuracy of the clinical content.
