The Manual of Childhood Infections gives detailed information on the causative organisms, epidemiology and clinical features of all important childhood infections likely to be encountered in the UK and abroad. This is followed by comprehensive guidance on the clinical management of these infections and on steps to be taken to control the infection and prevent future cases.
Prepared by a team of clinicians commissioned by the Royal College of Paediatricians and Child Health, and with the endorsement of the Royal College, the Manual of Childhood Infectionswill give you all the information you need to diagnose, treat and manage every infection you are likely to encounter in children.
