A must-have reference for all clinicians who need comprehensive, in-depth advice and recommendations in this complex field, Remington and Klein's Infectious Diseases of the Fetus and Newborn Infant, 9th Edition, provides expert coverage from the world’s leading authorities in immunology and infectious diseases.
It offers the most up-to-date and complete guidance on infections found in utero, during delivery, and in the neonatal period in both premature and term infants—indispensable information for all clinicians who are involved in the care and well-being of these vulnerable patient populations.
Three new associate editors and many new contributing authors bring new insight and a fresh perspective throughout the text.
