Based around illustrative case studies, each chapter presents
and analyzes current evidence on the management of different
pediatric infections and provides firm treatment recommendations
based on evidence of:
• efficacy and safety
• antibiotic resistance
• cost
• adverse effects
• ethical considerations.
Clear summaries and specific guidance allow you to assess the
evidence for yourself and make rapid but informed management
decisions based on the strength of evidence available. Antibiotic
doses are presented clearly and simply, enabling you to select
appropriate treatment at a glance.
This book uses a case-based approach that focuses on the most
common disease areas affecting children in industrialized
countries, developing countries, travelers and refugees. It is an
up-to-date, relevant and widely applicable text that carefully
examines the evidence for antibiotics and other interventions
whilst encouraging a conservative and responsible approach to
antibiotic use.
Evidence-based Pediatric Infectious Diseases is an indispensable resource for any practitioner who strives to provide the best evidence-based care for childhood infections.
