A richly illustrated reference on immune-mediated diseases in dogs and cats, grounded in veterinary clinical practice Veterinary Clinical Immunology provides clear and accurate information on the ­pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of immune-mediated diseases in small animals. Written by practicing clinicians for practicing clinicians, this highly practical resource contains user-friendly chapters on general and specific testing methods, common and atypical immune-mediated diseases, vaccination best practice and controversies, and more. Divided into four sections, the textbook opens with a thorough immunology primer for ­clinicians, describing innate and adaptive immunity, pathophysiology, immunogenetics, and pathogens. Subsequent sections focus on diagnostic approaches and treatments, immuno­deficiency and onco-immunology, and a range of specific immune-mediated diseases, including diseases of the hematopoietic system, the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract, the kidneys and bladder, and the nervous and endocrine systems. Provides information directly applicable to clinical practice with emphasis on the diagnosis and management of immunological conditionsFeatures numerous real-world case examples supported by high-quality ­images of blood smears, tissue sections, and other specimens relevant to the clinical ­pathology of immune-mediated diseasesIncludes access to a companion website with video clips of clinical cases and ­additional teaching resourcesAuthored and edited by internationally-recognized experts in their respective fieldsVeterinary Clinical Immunology is a must-have for busy primary practitioners and ­specialists looking for a current and comprehensive reference source. It is also a valuable clinically-based textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate veterinary students, trainees, residents, and veterinary technicians and nurses.
