This new volume of the Requisites in Pediatrics series is dedicated to students, residents, family practitioners, general pediatricians and nurse practitioners. The major part is dedicated to diagnosis and treatment making it especially interesting for daily practice and primary care in the hospital and outside the hospital. As infectious problems are the most frequent pathologies encountered in the pediatric practice this book is an excellent preparation for general pediatrics. This easy to read book is an up-to-date book summarizing the authors experience as well as the evidence in the literature.
