Case Studies in Immunology, Seventh Edition is intended for medical students and undergraduate and graduate students in immunology. It presents major topics of immunology through a selection of clinical cases that reinforce and extend the basic science. Each case history is preceded by essential scientific facts about the immunological mechanisms o
This case study is about a medical student with an inherited inability to make antibodies. His family history revealed that he had inherited this defect in antibody synthesis as an X-linked recessive abnormality. Pyogenic bacteria are the major cause of infection in X-linked agammaglobulinemia.
This book presents case histories to illustrate in a clinical context essential points about the mechanisms of immunity. It includes cases that illustrate both recently discovered genetic immunodeficiencies and some more familiar and common diseases with interesting immunology.
This book presents case histories that are chosen for two purposes: to illustrate in a clinical context essential points about the mechanisms of immunity; and to describe and explain some of the immunological problems often seen in the clinic.
This case study illustrates the features of a common type of myasthenia gravis, which is observed in older people and is called the oculobulbar form because it principally involves the muscles of the eye. Abnormalities of the thymus are not observed in older patients and thymectomy does not help.
This book presents case histories that are chosen for two purposes: to illustrate in a clinical context essential points about the mechanisms of immunity; and to describe and explain some of the immunological problems often seen in the clinic.
This case study is about a 25-year-old male admitted into hospital for the 28th time. He was later diagnosed with a genetic deficiency in factor I that were instrumental in deciphering the mechanism of activation of the alternative pathway of complement activation important in innate immunity.
This case study is about a 15-year-old high-school student with a specific failure of phagocytes to produce H2O2and superoxide. It outlines the details of a phenotype of X-linked chronic granulomatous disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding gp91phox.
This book presents a case history of a patient with immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy X-linked disease, to illustrate essential points about the mechanisms of immunity and to explain some of the immunological problems seen in the clinic. It is helpful for medical students.
