Allergy and Immunology of the Eye

The revised, updated new edition of this important clinical reference provides comprehensive, current information on the immunologic mechanisms involved in conditions affecting the eye and on the varied clinical manifestations of these conditions. Dr. Friedlaender thoroughly reviews the basic principles of general and ophthalmic immunology and then discusses the full range of clinical entities in which these immunologic mechanisms play a significant role. Coverage includes newly described entities such as AIDS, Lyme disease, and Acanthamoeba keratitis, as well as new concepts on other local and systemic diseases. A chapter on immunologic mechanisms in corneal transplantation is also included.
