    L’immunologie clinique est une discipline transversale dont les progrès récents ont conduit à identifier et caractériser différentes maladies touchant tous les organes. Ces maladies regroupent les dysfonctions du système immunitaire depuis le déficit immunitaire “classique” compliqué d’infections récurrentes, opportunistes ou invasives, à celui des maladies auto-immunes et de certains cancers.Initialement circonscrites à la notion de déficit immunitaire primitif ou héréditaire, les« erreurs innées de l’immunité » incluent de nombreux processus de dérégulation immunitaire comme l’auto-inflammation et l’auto-immunité qui relèvent de thérapies ciblées.Ce livre de référence présente les connaissances fondamentales pour comprendre les maladies dysimmunitaires. Les différents chapitres traitent ces dernières par grande catégorie physiopathologique et abordent leur thérapeutique. L’ouvrage est accompagné de nombreux tableaux didactiques, de photographies d’atteintes syndromiques et de schémas expliquant les mécanismes immunologiques.Rédig... par une large équipe d’auteurs francophones qui livrent ici le fruit de leur expérience clinique, cet ouvrage apporte aux praticiens les dernières connaissances théoriques et pratiques indispensables pour la prise en charge des enfants atteints de maladies immunitaires. Il s’adresse à tous les cliniciens, internistes, biologistes et immunologistes intéressés par l’extraordinaire diversité de présentation clinique et biologique des pathologies immunitaires d’origine génétique et les progrès récents dans leur compréhension physiopathologique.P...

    In collaboration with Consulting Editor Dr. Helen Boucher, Drs. Aruna Subramanian and Dora Yuk-Wai Ho have created an extremely timely and relevant issue for infectious disease physcians, as the field of biologics is exploding. These new agents are being used in rheumatologic diseases, hematologic malignancies, solid tumors, and other conditions; there is a lack of guidance in the literature on how to address their infectious risks.  The first 9 articles explain the mechanisms of action of the biologic agents and the infectious disease risks associated with their immune system targets.  The last few articles go into more depth on the viral, fungal, and mycobacterial infections that are potentiated by biologics, and discuss recommended prophylaxis and preventative strategies, including vaccinations. Specif... articles are devoted to the following: TNF inhibitors; Agents targeting B cells; Agents targeting T cell activation; Direct T cell inhibition and agents targeting T cell migration and chemotaxis; IL-1 and IL-6 and other interleukin and IgE inhibition; Check-point inhibitors; Tyrosine kinase inhibitors for heme malignancies; EGFR inhibitors and other Tyrosine kinase inhibitors for solid tumors; Targeting JAK-STAT signaling and complement pathway for inflammatory diseases; Viral infections Potentiated by Biologics (and Prophylaxis); Endemic Fungal Infections Potentiated by Biologics (and prophylaxis); Mycobacterial Infections Potentiated by Biologics; and Vaccinations for patients on biologics. Readers will come away with the clinical overviews of these topics to improve prevention and management of patients treated with biologics.
