Clinical Reproductive Immunology

Clinical Reproductive Immunology provides an up-to-date overview of clinical research in the field of reproductive immunology and pregnancy. With a strong focus on the use of clinical diagnostics to identify immune-related etiologies in pregnancy complications and/or failure, the book also addresses a significant informational gap by providing an overview of clinical data followed by a diagnostic algorithm at the end of each chapter.In three sections, the book describes both the diagnostic utility of immune cells and diagnosis of pathogen-associated pregnancy complications and neonatal outcomes. Because the diagnostic tools and treatments discussed in Clinical Reproductive Immunology are still considered experimental, clinicians who have an interest in incorporating them into practice have no professional guidelines to reference. Therefore, every chapter in this book will address a significant information gap by providing a diagnostic algorithm that will serve to translate the findings from clinical research into a concise, stepwise guide developed with the clinical reproductive specialist in mind. This title builds nicely on the foundational Reproductive Immunology text and serve as a more concise diagnostic reference tool, addressing clinical utility and significance of related research when developing background sections for manuscripts/literature reviews or for significant sections on grant proposals.
