Publisher Description
The material is very clearly written and the format is helpful, as it is quick and easy to follow. The Q&A section is probably one of the most important sections in such a book

This book has great format and content for a peds ID rotation and may also be used as a reference ona normal pediatric rotation since much of peds deals with infections.

I think this book is UNIQUE, great AND SHOULD BE RATED IN MY OPINION THE BEST FOR THIS ELECTIVE.

The chapters put together in one "package" information about the disease that would have to be sought in various textbooks and other educational resources … I would recommend this book to any student taking pediatrics.

Reader Reviews
This is a great quick reference book for anyone doing a pediatric rotation or anyone considering a career in pediatrics. It covers all the basics of peds ID and is very easy to read and absorb. Much of the material on the pediatric shelf is about peds ID and this book has all the useful information for the wards and the exam.
