Recenzje

From the reviews:

"This book covers the broad scope of modern neuroimmunology with the most up-to-date studies as reference. ... The authors, leaders in the field of neuroimmunology, write the book with practicing neurologists or subspecialist neuroimmunologists in mind. ... This is an excellent update for practicing clinical neurologists as there are numerous ongoing and upcoming advances in this field." (Greg Thaera, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2012)

"Clinical Neuroimmunology: Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders covers most clinically relevant areas of neuroimmunology. ... provides an overview of clinically relevant topics, which will be of high educational value to neurology residents and fellows, as well as serving as an update on current concepts for neurologists engaged in clinical practice." (Andrew McKeon, Neurology: Clinical Practice, 2012)

Blurb

Clinical Neuroimmunology: Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders serves as an indispensable resource for physicians interested in, and dealing with, this very complex and evolving branch of neurology.  This comprehensive title provides an introduction to basic neuroimmunology and principles of immunotherapy and also serves as a thorough guide to immune-mediated disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system, as well as other systemic disorders with a significant neuroimmunologic component.  The chapters are written by experts in their fields and include the most up to date scientific information. This volume is made to simplify complex immunological mechanisms and to focus on practical patient-related issues.  Clinical Neuroimmunology: Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders is an invaluable addition to the literature and will be of significant interest to neurologists, residents and fellows, internists, and general practitioners who treat patients with neurologic disorders and other systemic autoimmune diseases.
