Clinical Immunology and Serology: A Laboratory Perspective is designed to meet the needs of medical laboratory science students on both the 2- and 4-year levels. It uniquely combines practical information about laboratory testing with a discussion of the theory behind the testing and the diseases for which the tests are used. For practicing laboratorians and other health professionals, the book may serve as a valuable reference about new developments in the field of immunology. The fifth edition of Clinical Immunology and Serology: A Laboratory Perspective is built on the success of the first four editions. The organization of the chapters is based on the experience of many years of teaching immunology to medical laboratory science students. The book is divided into four major sections: I. Nature of the Immune System; II. Basic Immunologic Procedures; III. Immune Disorders; and IV. Serological and Molecular Diagnosis of Infectious Disease. The sections build upon one another, and the chapters relate previous material to new material by means of boxes titled Connections and Clinical Correlations. These features help the students recall information from previous chapters and bridge theory with actual clinical diagnosis and testing. Information in the chapters is related to real-world events to make it more interesting for the student and to show the important role that immunology plays in people’s daily lives. The Study Guide Tables at the end of most of the chapters can be used as study tools by the students. Section I of this edition has been revised to provide a more in-depth discussion on basic immune mechanisms, building a strong foundation for understanding the pathogenesis of diseases related to abnormalities of the immune system. All the chapters in Sections II, III, and IV have been updated to include new information about laboratory testing and treatments for immunologic diseases. For example, information on the Globally Harmonized System and root cause analysis has been added to Chapter 8— Safety and Quality Management. Chapter 9—Principles of Serological Testing—has been revised to include additional examples to help students perform the types of dilutions commonly used in serology. The chapters on Labeled Immunoassays (Chapter 11) and Molecular Diagnostic Techniques (Chapter 12) have been revised to include principles and illustrations for newer technologies that have been incorporated into the clinical laboratory. Additional autoimmune diseases have been added to the chapter on Autoimmunity (Chapter 15). Chapter 18—Immunoproliferative Diseases— has been revised to include updated information on the immunophenotype and cytogenetic abnormalities associated with selected hematologic malignancies. New information on testing for Lyme disease and leptospirosis is presented in Chapter 21—Spirochete Diseases. The book remains a practical introduction to the field of clinical immunology that combines essential theoretical principles with serological and molecular techniques commonly used in the clinical laboratory. The theory is comprehensive but concise, and the emphasis is on direct application to the clinical laboratory. The text is readable and user-friendly, with learning outcomes, chapter outlines, and a glossary of all key terms. Each chapter is a complete learning module that contains theoretical principles, illustrations, definitions of relevant terminology, and review questions and case studies that help to evaluate learning.
