From the reviews:
JAMA Review, March 5, 2008 - Vol 299, No 9 (Reprinted)
” … The editor is joined by 35 chapter authors, with multicontinent bylines representing not only Europe, North America, and Australia, but also Latin America (Panama), Africa (Kenya), and Asia (Vietnam). The result is a book with international perspective that reminds readers of the challenges of caring for critically ill infants and children in settings with diverse disease epidemiologies and limited resources … Infectious Diseases in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit will be of special interest and usefulness to the pediatric intensivist, to his or her infectious disease consultant, and to those in training who aspire to fill such roles” (Mark D. Widome, MD, MPH; JAMA 2008)
“This book, intended for those working in pediatric intensive care units, is designed to increase the understanding of reasons for infectious complications, including their epidemiology, host factors, and microbiologic causes. Moreover, it emphasizes new treatment modalities and prevention. … The authors’ intent, to offer readers useful information for the management of children cared for in intensive care units both in the developed and developing world, is certainly a worthy objective.” (Russell Steele, MD, Doody’s Review Service, March, 2008)
“The purpose of the book is to provide a comprehensive overview of infectious diseases in critically ill neonates and infants. … is primarily directed at physicians working with children in intensive care facilities who are not infectious diseases specialists. … the book could also reach out to a larger audience, including medical students and infectious disease fellows who are not paediatricians. … It is a useful guide for paediatric intensive care fellows and physicians … .” (Walter Zingg and Stephan Harbarth, Critical Care, Issue 12, 2008)
