THE MANUAL OF CHILDHOOD INFECTIONS gives detailed information on the causative organisms, epidemiology and clinical features of all important

by the Royal College of Paediatricians and Child Health, and with the endorsement of the Royal College, THE MANUAL OF CHILDHOOD INFECTIONS
will give you all the information you need to diagnose, treat and manage every infection you are likely to encounter in children.
