With easy-to-understand text and clear diagrams, the new 2nd Edition of Medical Immunology Made Memorable covers the core concepts of both basic science and clinical immunology. Unlike other titles that include unnecessary complex scientific detail, this book contains basic information students need to know to understand the clinical importance of the immune system and disease caused by its malfunction.
Corresponding to students undergraduate courses, this book divides immunology into 3 sections. The first section, basic immunology looks at the normal workings of the immune system. Next, pathology examines the links between immunology and histopathology, chemical pathology, and microbiology. Finally, clinical conditions are listed by system, allowing readers to refer to the relevant section while proceeding through the medical and surgical firms.
