Reviews

Rifkind and Freeman's account serves as an introduction for the general reader to microbiology, immunology and infectious diseases...There are also some interesting points for the specialist. - Robin A. Weiss, University College London for NATURE MEDICINE (June 2006) ...unique features are the introduction and the counterpoint sections that provoke reader thought regarding the never-ending process of scientific pursuit, and future candidates for Nobel Prizes. - DOODY'S (3 Stars) 2006
