Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What happens when the system designed to protect the human body attacks healthy tissue, overreacts to harmless substances, or fails to defend against infection?Immune System Disorders in Humans offers a structured, clinically focused journey through the mechanisms, manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of immune-mediated disease. Beginning with the architecture of normal immunity, it shows how failures in tolerance, inflammation, antibodies, complement, lymphocytes, and immune regulation produce recognizable patterns of illness.Inside, readers will explore: - Innate and adaptive immunity, antibodies, complement, inflammation, and immune tolerance- Systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune thyroid disease, type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, vasculitis, and other autoimmune conditions- Primary and secondary immunodeficiency, recurrent infection patterns, and HIV/AIDS- Hypersensitivity reactions, asthma, allergic disease, food allergy, anaphylaxis, and mast cell disorders- Autoantibodies, laboratory testing, immunologic markers, and differential diagnosis- Corticosteroids, conventional immunosuppressants, biologic therapies, cytokine blockade, targeted small molecules, cell-based therapy, and immunization- Practical appendices covering drug classes, test interpretation, special populations, long-term care, and commonly confused immunology conceptsAcross 31 carefully organized chapters, foundational science is connected to clinical presentation, laboratory investigation, therapeutic rationale, and long-term management. The result is a coherent reference that helps readers understand not only what an immune disorder is, but why it develops and how its underlying mechanism shapes diagnosis and care.Written for medical students, nursing and allied-health learners, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, healthcare professionals, and serious readers seeking a detailed introduction to clinical immunology.Build a clearer, more connected understanding of human immune disease.
