In the care of the paediatric patient, infectious diseases make up over 50 per cent of diagnostic considerations. For this reason, the paediatrician or primary care physician who treats children must particularly prepare himself or herself with a basic understanding of the infectious process. This manual condenses information related to diagnosis and treatment of children's paediatric infections. This practical handbook provides a quick reference in the broad areas of paediatric infectious diseases. It is a resource for the paediatrician, internist, house officer and attending staff.

..."The editor is a well-recognized authority in the field...Broad categories of pediatric infectious diseases from laboratory diagnosis to infections by system and antimicrobial therapy are covered satisfactorily. The text is clear and succinct. Its strength lies in the management protocols and tables (differential diagnosis, etc)..." -Robert J. Leggiadro, MD (St. Vincent's Staten Island)
