Atlas of Pediatric Infectious Diseases

This atlas presents more than 400 full colour photographs and illustrations enabling clinicians to recognise, understand, diagnose and manage clinical problems caused by infectious diseases in children.

Divided into twelve sections, by area within the body, each chapter looks at a different disorder within that area. Each infection is illustrated with clinical photographs and detailed descriptions of its clinical features and management.

The first section is dedicated to infections in neonates, covering superficial, systemic and congenital disorders. Separate chapters cover infections requiring surgical care and infections in the immunocompromised child.
