All paediatricians see children with infectious disease, but few have formal training in their management. This book provides understanding of the mechanisms involved in, and the complications to be expected from infectious diseases, and guides the practising and trainee paediatrician to a logical basis for management. Microbiological detail is restricted to that relevant to clinical management.
