The aim of  this book is to cover the different immunological disorders of the gut  with special reference to immunopathological and protective  mechanisms. It will be of general interest to clinicians, scientists  and students concerned with the gastrointestinal tract. \u003cbr\u003e  Topics covered include: the current status of research into  toxin-secreting pathogens, Campylobacter, Giardia and HIV; the  immunological features of idiopathic inflammatory gut diseases such as  Crohn's disease and intractable diarrhoea; the genesis of the flat  mucosa; the iatrogenic diseases of the gut such as graft-versus-host  disease and small bowel allografts; the immune mechanisms and lesions  in the gut of patients with parasitic nematode infections (very  important in the tropics). \u003cbr\u003e  Basic background on the immune apparatus in the intestine is also  discussed, as are the effects of inflammation on intestinal  permeability. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-02-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792389613\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-2978-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 307.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541609443468,"sku":"9780792389613","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792389613.jpg?v=1759288035","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792389613","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
