Description This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. This series of books reflects the trend
towards a core curriculum and self-directed learning. The content is restricted to the 'must know' core information presented in a synoptic
style. The diagrams that support the text are in a style that the reader can remember and reproduce in examinations. Each chapter ends
with a selection of self-assessment material and full explanatory answers. These consolidate and expand on the chapter contents. This
volumes presents an integrated coverage of basic and clinical immunology. Despite the use of problem- and/or topic-based curricula students
still respond to the security of a well-ordered presentation of the basic information by traditional discipline.
