About the Book

A comprehensive review of what is known about the role of cytokines and chemokines in a variety of human infectious diseases, including gram-negative and -positive infections, listeriosis, mycobacterial infections, lyme arthritis, pneumonia, fungal infections, HIV, leishmaniasis, and sepsis. The authors demonstrate the different cytokine and chemokine production profiles in response to a wide variety of pathogens and the importance of host genetic factors in determining the type and magnitude of responses to a given microorganism. They also critically evaluate the use of cytokines and anticytokines in the treatment of infectious diseases and show how knowledge of cytokine pleiotropic effects, redundancy, and the complexity of the cytokine network has led to better design and better outcomes in cytokine-based therapies for specific infections.

Table of Contents:

Review :
"The material in this handbook is compiled in such a way that the handbook acts as an intersection of the disciplines of immunology and infectious diseases. Individuals from disciplines on either side of the fence will find this a useful resource for learning about the interplay of host humeral immunity and various infections...this book will provide a useful resource as well as a guide for those interested in learning more about cytokines and chemokines in infectious disease." -Clinical Infectious Diseases
