Manual of Allergy and Immunology

This spiral manual offers current information on the diagnosis and treatment of all common paediatric and adult conditions characterized by an allergic or immunologic aetiology. Organized by disorder for ease of use, the manual begins with an introduction to the immune system and continues with a discussion of special topics (immediate hypersensitivity, aeroallergens, environmental factors, basic principles of therapy). The central section covers specific diseases and disorders, providing guidelines for their step-by-step diagnosis and treatment. Final chapters cover immunologic tests useful in the diagnosis of infectious disease and immunisations and immunoprophylaxis.
