Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"This is the classic, superb, and timely clinical reference about choices of antimicrobial therapy for all types of infections in pediatric patients with infections as well as prophylaxis which is updated almost yearly for clinicians at all levels of training which should be available wherever we can for neonates, children, adolescents, and young adults. Highly recommended for all clinicians at every level of training including students, residents, fellows, attendings, nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners."

-- Joseph Hageman, MD (Evanston Hospital) Doody's Review - previous edition

"This book is a must-have for those providing medical care for children. Despite its small size, the book covers a majority of infections and antimicrobial considerations in children, and, with the exception of rare and multi-drug resistant pathogens, it could adequately serve as a provider's sole reference on the subject."

-- Bradford Becken, MD (University of Nebraska Medical Center) Doody's Review - previous edition

"This is an excellent reference for antimicrobial therapy. The new rating system for strength of recommendation and level of supporting evidence that is new to this edition is very useful and assists in the decision-making process in the clinical setting."

-- Judy Moreau, MD (Ochsner for Children) Doody's Review - a previous edition

"With an ever-increasing amount of literature becoming available for the treatment of pediatric infectious diseases, frequent updates of resources like this are necessary to keep providers informed about the most appropriate treatment."

-- Patricia Marshik, Pharm.D (University of New Mexico College of Pharmacy) Doody's Review - prior edition
