Evaluation of Suspected Immunodeficiency

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 601))

Abstract

The clinical utility and capacity to evaluate immunologic function has evolved significantly over the past few decades. This chapter summarizes screening methods and more sophisticated approaches to assess the immune system when there is a suspicion of an immune deficiency.
