Summary: excellent companion to immunobiology
Review: A great book for anyone interested in clinical immunology. When used in combination with Immunobiology, the concepts are clearly explained. The added bonus of the lab science behind the clinical work is wonderful. I would not recommend this book alone unless the reader has an extensive background in immunology and is interested strictly in clinical presentations of immunological defects in humans.

Review: Guys, this book is very poorly organized and the previous reviewer either is bribed by the authors or he doesn't know what he's talking about. This, by far, is the WORST textbook I've seen in my 5 years of college career. Look I am not bitter and I am a good student with a 3.9 GPA.I will back up my reasons why this book is bad. The illustrations do not come with legends or labels. Readers are suppoed to guess what the white circle, black squares, green circles stand for. Plus the authors only give a very sketchy introduction to the diseases and they don't explains anything well enough for you to understand the questions. The answers to the discussion questions do not make sense and most of the time not relevant to the questions at all. If your instructor is requiring you to purchase this text, he/she is doing you a MAJOR disservice... ask the instructor to reconsider the adoptation of any casebook, otherwise drop the course.

Summary: licensed physician specialist
Review: The last reviewer's frustration is understandable given that this book is really meant for the medical student who has taken physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology in detail and has some clinical experience. It is most helpful for the senior medical student or resident taking an immunology elective--and even the immunologist studying for board exams! The reader must be already familiar with a lot of basic immunology in order to understand the figures without needing much explanation. I thought the book is excellent for synthesizing a very complex subject and adding clinical relevance.
