"This book is a gem. I completed my training more than 15 years ago reading publications by Dr. Rajabally, who continues to publish about dysimmune neuropathies. The contributors are world-renowned experts of similar caliber. I
highly recommend this book for any physician interested in immune-related neuropathies/dysimmune neuropathies." --© Doody’s Review Service, 2020, Eduardo De Sousa, MD, FAAN, FAANEM(Mercy NeuroScience Institute), reviewer, expert opinion

Dysimmune Neuropathies provides readers with detailed, basic information that will enable users to recognize and differentiate each neuropathy to adequately guide an investigation and create a treatment plan. An overview of recent progress, avenues for future research, and the desired benefits are also covered. The book highlights the many developments in the field that have occurred in terms of pathophysiological mechanisms, particularly immunological, that have direct implications on treatment strategies. This book is a great reference for trainees, clinicians and researchers specializing in neurology, neuromuscular diseases and neurophysiology.
