11 Preface The major motivation for gathering the information in this book was to highlight the field of clinical immunology using accessible and applied approaches for students and practitioners with interest in furthering horse health. The topics covered include developmental immunology, immunodeficiencies, inflammation, hypersensitivity reactions, immune-mediated diseases, oncology, vaccinology, transplantation, and regenerative medicine. These areas cover both routine and advanced equine clinical cases. Clinical immunology is grounded on the history of infectious disease outbreaks in humans and animals but this is just the beginning. A dysfunctional immune system has been associated with the pathophysiology of tissue damage, poor healing, and cancer, involving one or multiple organs. Organ-specific specialties investigate diseases that one way or another implicate the immune system, and much of the gathered clinical immunology knowledge and principles come from these basic applied studies. Natural immunodeficiencies have taught us about mechanisms of immune response and immunity. In addition, the growing fields of transplantation and regenerative medicine attempt to explore the connection and involvement of the immune system with their success in cell and tissue restoration. The chances of an effective treatment increase with our ability to diagnose and understand the mechanisms of disease. Working as a large animal internist in a referral hospital, and as a clinical immunologist with emphasis in immunodeficiencies, I am reminded about the broad participation of the immune system in the cause and/or effect of the great majority of diseases. However, it is at the primary care level that clinical immunology offers the most significant contributions to patient care, when the curiosity of a clinician brings questions about the role of the immune system in a clinical context, and allows the early considerate intervention before tissue damage ensues. Inspiration is the fuel for moving forward and, in the planning of this book, I got mine from my patients and students throughout the years. Some of my patients came with aberrant susceptibility to infections or excessive inflammatory response, and my students were curious about explanations for the cause and approaches for treatment. My inspiration also came from the pioneers in the studies of equine clinical immunology, who identified and characterized the first primary immunodeficiency of the horse, shared their discoveries on developmental immunology of the fetus and foal, described the mechanisms of endotoxemia, and created the critical reagents and diagnostic tools for basic and applied research of the immune system of the horse. Although we have achieved answers to many of our questions, the gaps are still considerable, and much work is ahead of us in order to better define diseases, promote healing and, ultimately, ensure prevention. I hope this book inspires you in pursuing knowledge and training in clinical immunology. xi
