This has been very helpful as a reference book.

Just remember that it is not a text for students who don't already have a grip on immunology; it is a reference book.

Unless you have spent every moment of every day for ten years studying immunology, keep a computer nearby while going over this book because you will not remember every molecule and cellular pathway mentioned throughout this highly detailed and comprehensive textbook. However, that being the case, nobody designed life to be simple for people to comprehend fully. This book has so much detailed information in it it is a must have for any physiologist or pathologist. It is more advanced than would be necessary for a medical practitioner, but for a medical researcher, one must get this book if they ever work on pathogenic or autoimmune disorders.

This is, undoubtdly, the most complete guide for immunology. It shows all aspects of the issue, including biochemistry and disease context. Futhermore, the interaction between innate response and adaptive response is aborded, once is rarely showed by the other books. I do recommend!

This is a HUGE and generally very comprehensive book except there are only two mentions of ME (CFS) en passant. (I do have to give props for those phrases being correct though) ME is a common (1M+ in US) and extremely debilitating NeuroEndocrine Immune Disease.
