Immunology is involved with the study of the immune system and related conditions. Research in immunology is making it increasingly clearer that the development of many disorders, whether metabolic, neurodegenerative or cardiovascular has an immunological contribution. Besides these, infectious diseases such as hepatitis, dysentery, tuberculosis, pneumonia, etc. have a direct correlation with the immune system. The immune conditions affecting the human body can be classified as autoimmune diseases, hypersensitivity and immunodeficiencies. Hypersensitive responses or allergies can be diagnosed with a patch test, allergy blood test, skin test, etc. The treatment of immunological conditions depends on the severity and type of condition. Immunosuppressants, anti-inflammatory drugs and NSAIDs are used for the management of autoimmune diseases. Treatment strategies for boosting the immune system are employed for immune deficiency states. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of immunology. It outlines the principles and applications of immunology in detail. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book. | Recent Advances In Immunology by Avery Steele, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
