I am currently a first-year medical student finishing Immunology and this book has helped tie everything together for me. It really helped to focus on the big picture and not get mixed up in little details. I only wish that I had started out the semester with this book. I highly recommend it to anyone that is taking Immunology (or Microbiology) for the first time.

This review is from: Elsevier's Integrated Immunology and Microbiology: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access, 1e (Paperback)

This is a great review for Step 1 and 2. I really like the integration between Immunology and Microbiology. If only my classes could be integrated this way. I recommend this book if you need a good complete review of Immunology and Microbiology for the USMLE.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent study guide and reference when need to review, May 7, 2009

By

This review is from: Elsevier's Integrated Immunology and Microbiology: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access, 1e (Paperback)

This textbook is an excellent review on the fundamental concepts of clinically relevant immunology and microbiology. I purchased the book as a grad student looking for an introduction into both subjects and continue to use the text when I need to refresh on certain aspects of human health and the immune response. The book is relatively short (172 pages) making it ideal as a quick reference guide on the go. The best feature of the book is that the textual descriptions are accompanied by excellent color figures and tables that make it easy to use as a study guide. The last section also contains clinical cases that were helpful in putting the immunology and microbiology portions together in context of human disease. Overall, I suggest the book for college, graduate, and medical students interested in study guides and/or quick reference materials on these subjects.
