Authoritative, comprehensive, and practical, this second edition covers the infectious diseases of childhood and is organized by syndrome as well as organism. Written by the premier authorities on the subject, it contains a wealth of pertinent information and has been called the best, most useful textbook in the field today. Clinically and therapeutically-oriented, it includes sections on understanding, controlling, and preventing infectious disease; clinical syndromes and cardinal features; etiologic agents of disease; and lab diagnosis and therapy.  

 

Features
  • Comprehensive information is authoritative and readily accessible.
  • Content is offered for diagnosis, management, and prevention of any infectious disease - not in multiple volumes, but in a single source.
  • Specific content is included on infection control, immunizations, understanding biostatistics, testing, and using antimicrobial agents.
  • Content is clinically and therapeutically oriented with three problem-solving approaches and three goals - understanding the problem, diagnosing correctly, and providing appropriate management.
  • The textbook outline and content provide excellent curriculum for study and match content specifications for the ABP subspecialty certifying examination.
  • The generous use of tables, graphics, and pictorials delivers major points, offers quick review, and facilitates slide-making for lectures.
  • The editors and authors of each content area are highly recognizable experts from recommending bodies - resulting in consistency and standard-of-care approaches throughout the text.
  • Carefully written and edited, it offers a uniform focus, with minimum redundancy or extraneous information.

What's New
  • Content has been thoroughly reviewed and extensively updated throughout.
  • New insights are offered into the global perspective on emergence and control of infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance.
  • Other new or expanded information includes the use of immunoglobulin products, a primer in biostatistics, inflammatory mediators, the latest schedule of immunizations, spongiform encephalopathies, recently discovered viruses, new antiviral therapies, new vaccines, fungal pathogens, and anti-infective agents.
  • A pictorial compendium of arthropods and associated diseases has been added.
  • Websites and telephone numbers are included for key resources.
  • Tables, figures, slide-ready graphics, clinical photographs, and the latest imaging pictorials have been maximized to improve their usefulness.
