An Illustrated Pocketbook of Pediatric Infectious Diseases

Infectious diseases make up over half of the diagnoses for pediatric patients. Quickly diagnosing these conditions is paramount in the clinical setting. Based on Professor Russell Steele's best selling atlas, this pocketbook presents concise yet complete diagnostic information, with emphasis on the practical aspects of management and highlighting recent data on newly emerging infectious diseases. The pocketbook contains a comprehensive collection of physical findings, radiographic illustrations, and laboratory information on common and relatively uncommon infections. It is an important resource for medical students, primary care physicians, and residents who manage care for children.
