Summary:

Designed as a quick read for both students on a pediatrics rotation and others who want to know more about the specialty, Blueprints Pediatric Infectious Diseases covers the essentials of pediatric infectious diseases that every practitioner will need to know. Pocket-sized and practical, these books will cover the most common conditions students are likely to encounter.
