Evidence-Based Neonatal Infections is expertly written by
David Isaacs, an experienced author renowned for his knowledge
in both pediatric infections and evidence-based medicine. It
critically analyses the evidence for decision making in neonatal
infections.

Evidence-Based Neonatal Infections

* The first evidence-based text on neonatal infections

* Provides practical guidance where evidence is poor

* Complements David Isaacs' Evidence-Based
Pediatric Infectious Diseases (9781405148580)

Practical and evidence-based, Evidence-Based Neonatal
Infections is designed to help the clinician with day-to-day
decisions on the care of newborn babies with possible, probable or
proven infections. It considers clinical questions relevant to
neonatologists, analysing the evidence carefully and providing
recommendations for optimum management of neonatal infectious
diseases, whilst reflecting on:

* Efficacy and safety

* Antibiotic resistance

* Cost effectiveness

* Adverse effects

* Ethical considerations

Evidence-Based Neonatal Infections provides a
unique reference for neonatologists, pediatricians, trainees,
specialist nurses; general practitioners, microbiologists,
infection control doctors, and all staff in neonatal units.

Rezensionen

"This is a comprehensive, brief, and very clinical
approach to neonatal infections with an international
flavor." (Doody's, 12 December 2014)

"The book is a workable length and is best targeted at the
neonatal fellow or pediatric resident with an interest in
neonatology. It should be widely used in the resident's
work space as a quick definitive guide to management of neonatal
infections and as a tool for discussion of the wisdom of starting
therapeutic agents and optimal approaches to the diagnostic
challenges of the sick neonate." (Clinical
Infectious Diseases, 22 August 2014)
