Recenzje

"As a series of relatively brief chapters describing most aspects of neonatal infectious disease, this book can serve as a quick reference guide to the most common bacterial, viral, and fungal infections in the nursery. ... The book is an excellent reference for students, residents, and fellows ... . This is a succinct guide to neonatal infections and is much more user friendly for clinicians than the standard comprehensive texts ... ." (Jay P. Goldsmith, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2018)

This book is designed to succinctly cover the pathophysiology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment, and important aspects of preventative care for the most frequently encountered neonatal and congenital infections.  The first section discusses common neonatal infections acquired during or after delivery, including sepsis, meningitis, necrotizing enterocolitis, and other focal infections.  The second section covers a wide range of congenital infections including cytomegalovirus, hepatitis, syphilis, and HIV.  The final section discusses the basics of infection prevention, outbreak management, antibiotic stewardship, and immunizations in the nursery setting. Written by an expert in infectious diseases and neonatal/perinatal medicine, this book is the only resource focused exclusively on newborns that is both current and easily accessible.

Handbook of Neonatal Infections is an excellent resource for infectious disease specialists, neonatologists, pediatricians, family practitioners, medical students, hospitalists, nurses, and all clinicians caring for infants in the nursery or neonatal intensive care unit.
