Our goal is to provide a comprehensive, reliable, up-to-date reference focused on evidence-based, practical information that is required to care for the neonate, infant, child, or adolescent with any infectious disease. Entries always address the four imperatives of pediatric infectious diseases: understand the problem, diagnose the etiology correctly, manage the patient to optimize outcome, and prevent a first occurrence or recurrence. The scope also includes epidemiology, control, and prevention of infectious diseases with guidance for establishing policy as well as managing individual patients. Features permeating the third edition include web-based resources, and important telephone numbers and links to primary literature to aid easy access to expanded, up-to-the-minute information as well as to obtain restricted therapeutic agents or access to experts for management of rare diseases. New tables, figures, illustrated cases, scan- and slide-ready graphics and algorithms have been added.Principles and Practice of Pediatric Infectious Diseases. 3rd ed.exe
