This book would serve as an excellent reference for researchers, students, and fellows, as well as clinicians who desire a deeper appreciation for the pathogenesis of many of the diseases in the patients they treat. . .an extremely useful and interesting source."Doody's Health Science Book Review Journal

"The authors of this text are some of the world leaders in the field. . .this book provides an excellent overview of current knowledge on the subject of autoimmune endocrine diseases,, and as such is of great interest to the endocrinologist with an interest in immunology, and indeed to the immunologist with an interest in endocrinology. I recommend it highly."-The Endocrinologist

"The book is well referenced and contains many helpful tables and figures. It is of interest to all endocrinologists, immunologists, and diabetologists."-Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism
