Clinical Neurimmunology is the major reference text in the field, providing broad and comprehensive coverage of the interaction between the nervous and immune systems in both normal and diseased states. Understanding this interaction is fundamental to developing therapeutic approaches to disease and injury of the nervous system that are currently only marginally amenable to therapy. Neuroimmunology is a well-recognised and growing specialty world wide, both at the basic science and clinical level. It is a fast moving field and this is the most up to date text available. Chapters are dedicated to the role of the immune system in disorders affecting both the central and peripheral nervous systems, including important neurodegenerative diseases (such as multiple sclerosis and HIV-related neural degeneration) which cause life-long disability. Extensive coverage is given to a whole array of immune-directed therapies. The book has a strong international team of well respected, high profile editors and authors. The first edition published to extensive and positive reviews and has established itself as the principal reference source in the field. This second edition summarizes recent advances in clinical neuroimmunology in a comprehensive and unbiased way.

'Clinical neuroimmunology is the best textbook available on this topic. Neuroimmunology is such a rapidly moving field that it is hard to produce a textbook that is truly up to date. The editors and authors have done so and should be commended for their work.' New England Journal of Medicine

'The volume remains a gem and a bargain: informative on many levels, practical and evocative. All involved are to be congratulated.' Annals of Neurology

From reviews of the first edition:

'I would rate the quality of text as superb and I would hope to see a second edition within 4 to 6 years. The textbook is recommended for all postdoctoral fellows in neuroimmunology and for any practising neurologist with a special interest in neuroimmunology.' Neurology
