Clinical Immunology - Case Studies
The book is an "immunological view" on clinical cases from the practice of the Clinical Clinic immunology with the stem cell bank of the "Alexandrovska" UMBAL and the Clinical Immunology Laboratory of the UMBAL "St. Ivan Rilski", the two structures that form the Department of Clinical Immunology of the Faculty of Medicine, Medical University - Sofia.
Illnesses in real patients are examined, where the main point in the pathogenesis are disorders in the functioning of the immune system - congenital and acquired immune deficiencies, autoimmune diseases, immunological phenomena related to tumor development.
Selected clinical cases illustrate important aspects of the immune mechanisms responsible for disease development, explain some of the immunological problems commonly seen in the clinic, and show how characterizing the pathophysiology of genetically determined immune diseases can lead to personalized therapy.
The description of the clinical cases was made in close communication with pediatricians, rheumatologists, gastroenterologists, cardiologists, geneticists, surgeons from the hospitals "Alexandrovska" UMBAL - Sofia, UMBAL "St. Ivan Rilski" - Sofia, National Cardiology Hospital - Sofia, UMBAL "St. George" - Plovdiv, UMBALSM "N. I. Pirogov" - Sofia, MBAL "St. Ivan Rilski" - Razgrad, and Nôpital Européen Georges Pompidou - Paris, France.
The book is intended for medical students, interns and practicing physicians.

Clinical Immunology - Case Studies is an innovative textbook that provides immunology students and professionals with real clinical scenarios and case studies that help them understand and apply the principles and practices of clinical immunology. This textbook is designed to help readers develop their skills in the diagnosis and treatment of immunological disorders by providing them with examples from real practical situations.
The textbook presents a variety of case studies that cover a wide range of immunological diseases, including autoimmune diseases, allergies, immunodeficiency conditions, and others. For each case, a detailed description of clinical symptoms, laboratory results, and diagnostic methods is provided, as well as recommendations for treatment and patient management.
Each case presentation also includes consideration of the pathophysiology of the disease, mechanisms of action of the immune system, and possible complications and prognosis for the patient. This allows readers to understand the basic principles of immunology and apply their knowledge to solving practical clinical problems.
With its unique approach, Clinical Immunology - Case Studies provides readers with structured and systematized information on various aspects of immunology and their applications in clinical practice. The textbook uses visual illustrations, diagrams, and tables that facilitate understanding of difficult concepts and help readers visualize the various immunological processes.
Clinical Immunology - Case Studies is an indispensable resource for medical students, immunologists, allergists, rheumatologists, and anyone interested in immunology and its application to clinical practice. This textbook presents a comprehensive and contemporary approach to the study of immunology and provides valuable resources for learning and updating knowledge.
