Understanding immunology is increasingly important in obstetrics and gynecology. Written primarily to meet the needs of practicing obstetricians and gynecologists, this book explores the role of immunological processes in reproduction. It is organized into six sections: basic immunology; the immunological paradox of pregnancy; disorders with a putative immunologic basis in obstetric and gynecologic practice; the immune system and cancer; immunopathology; and immunological tests in obstetrics and gynecology. The book presents immunologic concepts and illustrates important points with examples familiar to the clinician. For example, the immunology behind the simple pregnancy test will be used to explain a range of concepts including what antibodies and antigens are, how they interact, and what is their central role in the disease process. This clearly written and beautifully illustrated book gives the reader an essential overview of immunology as it relates to human reproduction.
