Immunological and Infectious Diseases of the Peripheral Nerves Summary

Immunological and Infectious Diseases of the Peripheral Nerves by N. Latov (Columbia University, New York)

This 1998 book was the first to be dedicated to peripheral neuropathies of immune or infectious origin, which are now known to comprise a substantial proportion of disorders of the peripheral nerves. Many of the most important advances in the field were made by contributors to this volume. There are four sections, dealing with biology and epidemiology, patient evaluation, specific clinical syndromes known to be of infectious or immunologic origin, and therapy and management, including rehabilitation. Neurologists will welcome this comprehensive review of the field at the time of publication, which provides an overview of the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of infectious and immune mediated neuropathies. It is directly relevant to the everyday management of patients, and will also meet the needs of the basic immunological researcher seeking a general overview.

Immunological and Infectious Diseases of the Peripheral Nerves Reviews

Review of the hardback: 'To the best of my knowledge Immunological and Infectious Diseases of the Peripheral Nerves is by far the best current single source on the subject ... With its convenient size and reasonable price, I certainly recommend it to neurologists, clinicians in other specialities, neuropathologists and researchers.' Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine
Review of the hardback: ' ... it has no equal as a comprehensive, accessible, and useful resource for the practising neurologist.' Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry
Review of the hardback: ' ... a useful practical clinical text for every neurologist or clinician involved in the management of patients with these immune and infectious neuropathies, but it also carries up-to-date reviews and references for those who may have a more research orientated interest in this field, where significant advances continue to be made in diagnosis and development of treatment.' Brain
"This book will serve as a useful practical clinical text for every neurologist or clinician involved in the management of patients with these immune and infectious neuropathies, but it also carries up-to-date reviews and references for those who may have a more research orientated interest in this field, where significant advances continue to be made in diagnosis and development of treatment." J.G. Llewelyn, Brain
"The relation between immunological events and peripheral neuropathy is explored in this text, which is aimed at both practising neurologists and basic immunological researchers. The contributors review pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatement of infectious and immune-mediated neuropathies." Lancet
"Immunological and Infectious Diseases of the Peripheral Nerves is a valuable resource for clinicians involved in the diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders and care of patients with these diseases. The book provides a well-structured appreciation of this group of peripheral nerve disorders. ...the opportunity to read through the book is likely to translate into a greater capacity to diagnose and manage illness in my patients." New England Journal of Medicine
"...an excellent place to educate oneself in the fascinating interplay between the microbial world, the immune system, and the brain." Cell
"...a welcome addition to the many neurological monographs that appear annually because it presents concise summaries and usually, critical commentary about the literature relating to these conditions. The references in each chapter are generally extensive and presented in a three column easy-to-use format...a good book that should be part of any hospital or group library...its target audience should be neurology residents, general neurologists and those who wish to broaden their knowledge about immune disorders of the peripheral nervous system and selected infectious diseases that affect the peripheral nervous system." The Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences
