"Case Studies in Immunology: A Clinical Companion should...¦be compulsory reading for any medical student doing Immunology, although I am sure it will have a broader appeal...brings to life clinical immunology in a relevant and exciting way...¦this is an excellent book..."
British Society of Immunology Journal, Immunology News, May 2008
Book Description
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. Case Studies in Immunology can be used as a stand-alone book, or as a clinical companion alongside Janeway's Immunobiology, Seventh Edition (ISBN 0-8153-4123-9) and The Immune System, Third Edition (ISBN 0-8153-4146-8).

licensed physician specialist,
By A Customer
This review is from: Case Studies in Immunology: A Clinical Companion (Paperback)
The last reviewer's frustration is understandable given that this book is really meant for the medical student who has taken physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology in detail and has some clinical experience. It is most helpful for the senior medical student or resident taking an immunology elective--and even the immunologist studying for board exams! The reader must be already familiar with a lot of basic immunology in order to understand the figures without needing much explanation. I thought the book is excellent for synthesizing a very complex subject and adding clinical relevance.

Frustrated by the Stupid Book,
By "leukocyte" (PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Case Studies in Immunology: A Clinical Companion (Paperback)
Guys, this book is very poorly organized and the previous reviewer either is bribed by the authors or he doesn't know what he's talking about. This, by far, is the WORST textbook I've seen in my 5 years of college career. Look I am not bitter and I am a good student with a 3.9 GPA.I will back up my reasons why this book is bad. The illustrations do not come with legends or labels. Readers are suppoed to guess what the white circle, black squares, green circles stand for. Plus the authors only give a very sketchy introduction to the diseases and they don't explains anything well enough for you to understand the questions. The answers to the discussion questions do not make sense and most of the time not relevant to the questions at all. If your instructor is requiring you to purchase this text, he/she is doing you a MAJOR disservice... ask the instructor to reconsider the adoptation of any casebook, otherwise drop the course.

Are you a medical student? Buy this book.,
By K. Berenson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Case Studies in Immunology: A Clinical Companion (Paperback)
Considering the serious dearth of well-written text companions and the prevalence of badly assorted notes in MS these days--this book is genius. If you want a good overview of disease causes and states, along with questions engineered to make you think (not deliberately trick you), then this is a solid immunology companion. Ignore that other reviewer.

excellent companion to immunobiology,
By R. Roy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Case Studies in Immunology: A Clinical Companion (Paperback)
A great book for anyone interested in clinical immunology. When used in combination with Immunobiology, the concepts are clearly explained. The added bonus of the lab science behind the clinical work is wonderful. I would not recommend this book alone unless the reader has an extensive background in immunology and is interested strictly in clinical presentations of immunological defects in humans.
