Description
This book deals with a broad range of pediatric infectious diseases and the currently available treatment modalities. Special reference is made to new concepts in prevention, pathogenesis, diagnosis and therapy. Leading specialists discuss recent advances in antibiotic agents, antiviral therapy and the treatment of parasitic diseases. The current state of adjunctive therapy for pediatric infections is also considered. A further chapter describes new vaccines for Haemophilus influenzae, type B, pertussis, polio and typhoid, and indicates the diseases for which improved vaccines are under development. Updated information is provided on infectious diseases in the neonatal period, and a scheme is proposed for the management of fever in children under 2 years of age. Other topics covered include sexually transmitted diseases in adolescents and infections in specific systems. Pediatricians, general practitioners, infectious disease experts, and clinical microbiologists and virologists will find much useful information in this valuable update.
