Reorganizes existing chapters to provide more in-depth discussions on bacterial sepsis, meningitis, pneumocystis, and less common fungal infections
Covers all recent major advances in both biology and medicine that have contributed greatly to our understanding of infections that affect the fetus and newborn
Gives special attention to the prevention and treatment of diseases found in developing countries as well as the latest findings about new antimicrobial agents, Gram-negative infections and their management, and recommendations for immunizations in pregnancy
Uses a consistent, reader-friendly format that features a full-color design with hundreds of illustrations, photographs, diagrams radiographic images, and drawings
Includes sequelae of infections that affect older children and adults; infection in the adult is described whenever pertinent to recognition of infection during pregnancy, which may affect the developing fetus and newborn infant

Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This book is a comprehensive reference book covering the fetal and neonatal aspects of immunology and infectious diseases from a global perspective. Specific infectious diseases are covered in great detail, with specific recommendations for prevention and treatment. The companion ebook is available on Elsevier+ and is a faithful adaptation of the physical book. The previous edition was published in 2015."
