Veterinary Clinical Immunology
About this book
A richly illustrated reference on immune-mediated diseases in dogs and cats, grounded in veterinary clinical practice
Veterinary Clinical Immunology provides clear and accurate information on the Āpathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of immune-mediated diseases in small animals. Written by practicing clinicians for practicing clinicians, this highly practical resource contains user-friendly chapters on general and specific testing methods, common and atypical immune-mediated diseases, vaccination best practice and controversies, and more.
Divided into four sections, the textbook opens with a thorough immunology primer for Āclinicians, describing innate and adaptive immunity, pathophysiology, immunogenetics, and pathogens. Subsequent sections focus on diagnostic approaches and treatments, immunoĀdeficiency and onco-immunology, and a range of specific immune-mediated diseases, including diseases of the hematopoietic system, the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract, the kidneys and bladder, and the nervous and endocrine systems.
- Provides information directly applicable to clinical practice with emphasis on the diagnosis and management of immunological conditions
- Features numerous real-world case examples supported by high-quality Āimages of blood smears, tissue sections, and other specimens relevant to the clinical Āpathology of immune-mediated diseases
- Includes access to a companion website with video clips of clinical cases and Āadditional teaching resources
- Authored and edited by internationally-recognized experts in their respective fields
Veterinary Clinical Immunology is a must-have for busy primary practitioners and Āspecialists looking for a current and comprehensive reference source. It is also a valuable clinically-based textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate veterinary students, trainees, residents, and veterinary technicians and nurses.
