Neonatal Infections: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Management

Thoroughly updated and expanded, the second edition of Neonatal Infections is intended as a quick-reference guide for the busy clinician caring for newborns and young infants, whether in the nursery, the ward, the clinic, or the intensive care unit. It covers infections acquired during birth or while in the hospital (Part 1), as well as congenital infections acquired in utero (Part 2). Summary chapters regarding infection control and prevention, outbreak management, diagnosis of infection, antibiotic stewardship, and immunizations are also included (Part 3). Neonatal Infections is a concise yet thorough and visual handbook 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.
