description: To help students review and expand their knowledge of immunology in a clinical context, the Companion consists of nineteen cases illustrating key points in immunology. Each begins with a brief, fully illustrated review of the relevant science, and follows the story of a real patient, with a simple explanation of the pathology and the treatment, and a question-and-answer discussion highlighting relevant points from many areas of basic and clinical immunology. Each case is features photographs and micrographs which illustrate the clinical conditions described. Explaining what happens if you have no spleen, why an asthmatic schoolboy should never keep rabbits, how you can be immunodeficient with too many antibodies, and much more, the Clinical Companion to Immunobiology answers the student's perennial question -- Why Am I Learning This? "A great way to introduce clinical application of immunological theory". -- Willis Huang "The questions at the end were enjoyable. They introduced some applications and further thought into the problem which led to a better understanding". -- Washington Cobos
