Abstract:
The ideal time-saver for busy clinicians, this handy guide delivers a practical "how-to" perspective on diagnosis and treatment for a range of commonly encountered childhood infections-from otitis media, sinusitis, and urinary tract infection...to hepatitis, cervical adenitis, pediatric tuberculosis, pneumonia, catheter infection, and more. Coverage includes clinically essential material on specific drugs, dosages, and drug interactions, a section on accurate interpretation of laboratory tests, and guidelines on infection control in organ transplant recipients. A consistent chapter template allows users to locate needed information quickly. The convenient size makes this an ideal quick-consult at the bedside, in the lab, or in the office.
