This book takes the reader through the fundamental principles of haematology and immunology in a comprehensive yet concise format. Each discipline is considered in an integrated format, combining histology, physiology, and pharmacology. The basic pathology of haematology and immunology is then outlined, highlighting the more common diseases and investigations. The book covers the latest information in both fields, including advances in understanding innate immunity and in the use of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies. Each chapter is prefaced with a set of learning objectives and the book also features an extensive self-assessment section of multiple-choice, extended-matching and short-answer essay questions for the reader to determine gaps in knowledge and prepare for exams.
