Overview

Contemporary Clinical Immunology and Serology is a complete introduction to immunology, for the clinical immunology professional. It presents today's newest professional techniques and prepares you to apply lab data to the delivery of superior patient care. Reflecting extensive input from leading clinical immunology professionals, the text is organized to build understanding step by step.

It takes you from basic vocabulary through common immunoassays to closer consideration of diseases that require immunologic methods of diagnosis. A detailed case study and critical-thinking questions in each chapter will help you think like a practitioner.
