An Atlas of Pediatric Infectious Diseases

This medical atlas illustrates over 100 selected paediatric infectious diseases. It is designed specifically for the paediatrician or primary-care physician treating children who need immediate access to a comprehensive collection of physical findings, radiographic illustrations and laboratory information pertinent to both common and uncommon infections. The book features colour photographs, diagnostic information emphasizing practical aspects of management, and the latest data on newly-emerging infectious diseases. Chapters cover infectious disease emergencies, congential and perinatal infections, and presentations unique to the immunocompromised host. And, as an aid for diagnosing specific patients with exanthematous disease, additional chapters are divided by characteristics of this rash. Russell W. Steele is the author of "The Clinical Handbook of Pediatric Infectious Disease".
