Part of the What Do I Do Now?" series, Neuroimmunology uses a case-based approach to cover common and important topics in the examination, investigation, and management of central and peripheral demyelinating diseases, vasculitis, and other immune system related neurological disorders. Each chapter provides a discussion of the diagnosis, key points to remember, and selected references for further reading. For this new edition, all cases and references have been updated and new cases have been added, including POEMS, CASPR2 Antibody Syndrome, Isaac's Syndrome, Histiocytosis, and Churg-Strauss. Neuroimmunology is an engaging collection of thought-provoking cases which clinicians can utilize when they encounter difficult patients. The volume is also a self-assessment tool that tests the reader's ability to answer the question, "What do I do now?"
The presentations are succinct and summarize just what a clinician would want to know about diagnosis, new aspects of pathogenesis, and treatment. Most who will read the book will read it cover to cover so as not to miss any of the clinical pearls revealed by these interesting cases. Congratulations to the authors for summarizing much of the burgeoning field of neuroimmunology for the average neurologist in this highly readable, concise compendium. * Brian Weinshenker, MD, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN *
Dr. Miller and his colleagues present 40 excellent clinical vignettes that succinctly illustrate the salient clinical, imaging, and laboratory features of a broad spectrum of autoimmune disorders. Facts worth committing to memory are highlighted by key points, and up-to-date reference lists often include excellent reviews of the relevant condition. * Joseph R. Berger, MD, FACP, FAAN, FANA, Professor of Neurology and Associate Chief of the MS Division, Perelman School of University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA *
