The body is protected from harmful intruders like viruses, bacteria, fungus, and parasites by the immune system, which is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs. It is necessary to have a healthy immune system in order to keep one's health in good standing, and having an immune system that is fully operational is essential for warding off infections, preventing sickness, and promoting overall well-being. Immunity can be broken down into its two primary subtypes: innate immunity and adaptive immunity. The initial line of protection that the body has against infection is called innate immunity, and it is there from the moment of birth. This form of immunity is characterized by the presence of both physical barriers, such as the skin and mucous membranes, and specialized cells that are able to identify and eliminate invading pathogens. On the other hand, adaptive immunity is a highly specialized form of immunity that develops over the course of a person's lifetime. The creation of antibodies and immune cells that are able to identify and eliminate particular infections is an example of this form of immunity. Adaptive immunity is necessary for the development of natural resistance to vaccines as well as the protection of the body against recurrent illnesses. The immune system is very intricate and is composed of a diverse assortment of cell types and signaling chemicals. White blood cells, such as T cells and B cells, as well as cytokines and chemokines, which are signaling molecules that help coordinate immune responses, are some of the important actors in the immune system. Other key players in the immune system include antigen-presenting cells and dendritic cells. It is absolutely necessary to have a healthy immune system in order to protect the body from a wide variety of infectious agents. Infections can cause a broad variety of symptoms, some of which include fever, coughing, and weariness; in extreme circumstances, infections can even result in the fa

The viral diseases and cancers they cause are significant and often recurrent. Their prevalence in the developed world accounts for a major burden of disease, and as a result there is a great deal of research into the pathophysiology of infection and immunobiology. Another important area covered within this volume concerns antiviral therapy and the development of vaccines. All these aspects are covered in depth, both scientifically and in terms of clinical guidelines for patient care. The text is illustrated generously throughout and is fully referenced to the latest research and developments.
