Oxford Handbook of Clinical Immunology and Allergy 4th Edition
This new edition of Clinical Immunology and Allergy is a
practical and clinically based guide for clinicians and laboratory staff
to aid diagnosis and management of immunological and allergic disease,
and provides examples of the correct selection and interpretation of
immunological tests for a wide range of conditions. Fully updated from
the previous edition, with the addition of new diseases recently
identified from the use of genetic testing, and novel biological
therapies and autoantibody tests, this title covers the entire breadth
of the field, with the information at your fingertips.
Split into
two sections, the first covering individual diseases and allergies,
with diagnosis and management strategies, and the second describing
appropriate laboratory tests and their interpretation, the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Immunology and Allergy
is an invaluable reference text, and works as a succinct revision guide
for the FRCPath in Immunology. Filled with cross-references to create a
cohesive overview of a complex subject, and presented in concise
bullet-points for detailed direction to the key facts, this handbook
provides everything you need to help you in clinical practice.
