Case Studies in Pediatric Infectious Diseases
This book features 121 case studies intended to provide an approach to the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric infectious diseases. Each brief case scenario, designed to challenge the reader to work out the answer, is followed by a discussion of the case, 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.
