Using a case report format this work deals with the wide range of problems encountered in vigorous transplant practice. The distinctive features of this book include issues that encompass a wide range of transplantation types, including heart, lung, kidney, liver and bone marrow transplantation. Equally unique is the inclusion of issues that involve the ethics of transplantation, the psychology of transplantation, and the practice of infectious disease as it applies to transplantation coupled to the usual concerns of immunobiology, immunosuppression, and the management and diagnosis of rejection.
