CUSTOMER REVIEWS
From the reviews:
“This book covers the broad scope of modern neuroimmunology with the most up-to-date studies as reference. … The authors, leaders in the field of neuroimmunology, write the book with practicing neurologists or subspecialist neuroimmunologists in mind. … This is an excellent update for practicing clinical neurologists as there are numerous ongoing and upcoming advances in this field.” (Greg Thaera, Doody’s Book Reviews, August, 2012)
“Clinical Neuroimmunology: Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders covers most clinically relevant areas of neuroimmunology. … provides an overview of clinically relevant topics, which will be of high educational value to neurology residents and fellows, as well as serving as an update on current concepts for neurologists engaged in clinical practice.” (Andrew McKeon, Neurology: Clinical Practice, 2012)
