Book Description | وصف الكتاب

This third edition of “Immunology Module – Questions” is meticulously designed for undergraduate medical students. It offers a comprehensive collection of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and Short Essay Questions (SEQs) that cover foundational and applied concepts in medical immunology, integrating core scientific disciplines with clinical relevance.

The book includes structured questions from:

• Basic Immunology (e.g., innate and adaptive immunity, lymphoid organs, immune cells)

• Humoral and Cell-Mediated Immunity (e.g., B and T cell activation, immunoglobulin structure, cytokine functions)

• Antigen Presentation & MHC (e.g., antigen processing, MHC class I & II pathways, co-stimulatory signals)

• Hypersensitivity Reactions (Types I–IV, allergy, anaphylaxis, autoimmune triggers)

• Autoimmunity & Tolerance (e.g., central and peripheral tolerance, molecular mimicry, regulatory T cells)

• Transplantation Immunology (e.g., graft rejection, GVHD, immunosuppressive therapy)

• Tumor Immunology (e.g., immune surveillance, immune evasion, checkpoint inhibitors)

• Immunodeficiency Disorders (e.g., SCID, CGD, DiGeorge syndrome, complement deficiencies)

• Immunization & Vaccinology (e.g., live vs killed vaccines, adjuvants, herd immunity)

Each section is constructed to reinforce clinical reasoning, improve theoretical retention, and simulate real exam scenarios with case-based applications and stepwise reasoning.

Included Features:

• Updated and peer-reviewed in the 3rd Edition (2024)

• Covers both MCQs and SEQs, with select questions answered and explained

• Organized by topic for easy revision and exam preparation
