"...utilizes contributors from throughout the world… to provide a resource for both clinicians and investigators in the rapidly changing field of immunology. This volume is devoted to autoimmune mediated disease manifestations in specific organs in contrast to autoimmune diseases typically considered systemic or affecting multiple organ systems…. A useful listing of abbreviations used in the book is provided prior to the first chapter. The book covers a variety of organs that are affected by immunologic disease…that provides a comprehensive overview…. [A] good starting point in creating an immunologic foundation of organ-based immune pathology." --©Doody’ s Review Service, 2023, Dennis Keith Ledford, MD (University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine)
