| Summary |
Summary: "The 121 case studies featured in this book provide a thorough and clinical approach to the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric infectious diseases. The author considers infections caused by a wide spectrum of viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infectious agents, as well as specific anatomic sites, and addresses common infections as well as those presenting a greater challenge in diagnosis. Brief clinical scenarios are followed by discussions and supplemented with tables and photographs; discussions focus on principles of management as opposed to details and place emphasis on determining risk factors and on clinical evaluation, not on performing non-discriminating laboratory tests."--BOOK JACKET |
