Immunosurveillance, Immunodeficiencies and Lymphoproliferations: Lymphoproliferative Disorders in Congenital and Acquired Immunodeficiencies (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783540422822)

This book covers lymphoproliferative disorders in patients with congenital or acquired immunodeficiencies. Acquired immunodeficiencies are caused by infections with the human immunodeficiency virus or arise following immunosuppressive therapy administered after organ transplantation or to treat connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. It was recently discovered that various diseases or therapeutic modalities that induce a state of immunosuppression may cause virally driven lymphoproliferations. This book summarizes for the first time this group of immunodeficiency-associated lymphoproliferations.
