Description
Basic Laboratory Techniques in Clinical Immunology
Book Summary
This work offers a practical and updated guide to essential techniques in clinical immunology. Designed for quick reference, the book structures its content using boxes with key points and definitions. Throughout nine chapters, it covers both the latest diagnostic methods and related surgical procedures, integrating more than 2,000 high-quality images and a library of 50 videos. The reader will find a uniform and logical approach, where each chapter is organized into blocks dedicated to pathologies, surgical procedures, and diagnostic tests, presenting clinical immunology in a coherent manner without redundancies.
What is it about?
The book addresses fundamental laboratory techniques in clinical immunology, combining theory and practice for healthcare professionals. Its content is divided into nine chapters that explore everything from fundamentals to the most advanced applications. Each chapter follows a hierarchical structure with three base templates: a block on pathologies, another on surgical procedures, and a third on diagnostic tests. This organization allows for presenting immunology as it is currently practiced, integrating areas such as ophthalmology or refractive surgery within the general topics, rather than treating them in isolation. The audiovisual material includes 50 clips demonstrating surgical and diagnostic techniques, such as eye movement examinations or cataract procedures.
Main Topics
- Immunological diagnostic techniques in the clinical laboratory
- Surgical procedures in immunology, including refractive surgery and phakic intraocular lenses
- Evaluation and treatment of ocular pathologies such as cataracts
- Clinical examination methods, including eye movement tests
- Integration of pediatric practice into the different thematic blocks
Who is it recommended for?
This book is aimed at healthcare professionals, especially clinical immunologists, ophthalmologists, laboratory technicians, and postgraduate students in biomedical sciences. It is also useful for surgeons looking to update themselves on surgical techniques related to immunology, as well as for laboratory personnel wishing to delve into advanced diagnostic methods. Its practical and visual approach makes it accessible to both specialists and residents in training.
What this book provides

Editorial Review
This work stands out for its practical and visual approach, ideal for professionals who need a quick reference in clinical immunology. The inclusion of audiovisual material and the hierarchical structure by blocks (pathologies, surgical procedures, and diagnostic tests) facilitate the assimilation of complex content. Although its length is concise (144 pages), the book manages to cover advanced techniques without losing depth, making it a valuable resource for continuous training and updating in the clinical field.
