Neuro-Immunology of Fever

Fever is a central response to aggression, whether this be infection, trauma or malignancy. This book deals with the mechanisms of this response, focussing particularly on cytokine fevers. Chapters by leading experts in the field cover the biological aspects of the immune response to fever across the whole spectrum, ranging from basic science through to clinical experimentation. The book therefore will be of great interest to both practicing clinicians, and basic scientists requiring a state-of-the-art overview of this multi-faceted field.
