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.
