Even a cursory glance at science news confirms that research on transplantation
and novel treatments for diseases such as cancer, HIV, and tuberculosis has been
moving forward at an explosive pace. Copiously illustrated with line drawings,
tables, and photographs, Infection and Immunity links current developments in
basic science with the realities of medicine in the clinical setting. Each
chapter explores a rapidly evolving area of clinical science and highlights not
only current areas of acute research interest, but also how the specific basic
science connects to the patient.
