      abstract = {This book provides an overview of the underlying sex-based  and hormone-based differences in immunity, wound healing  and pharmacokinetics, while also exploring how pregnancy  affects immunity. The second part of the book shows, for  the first time in a single volume, the growing number of  infectious diseases for which sex and gender differences  are noted, identifies common as well as distinct mechanisms  mediating these differences and illustrates how responses  to treatments might differ between the sexes. The awareness  that males and females differ in their response to specific  pathogens as well as to treatments for infectious diseases  may yield sex-specific personalized treatments. This book  will be of interest to basic scientists and clinicians in  the fields of microbiology, immunology and pharmacology.  Individuals working in academia, government and industry  will also benefit from the information presented.},
