Sepsis menyebabkan morbiditas dan mortalitas yang tinggi khususnya pada kondisi sepsis berat atau syok sepsis. Salah satu pendekatan yang dapat dilakukan untuk mengatasi hal tersebut adalah dengan diagnosis dan tata laksana dini. Penegakan diagnosis sepsis tidak dapat sepenuhnya dari kondisi klinis, tetapi memerlukan pemeriksaan laboratorium.

This book features 121 case studies intended to provide an approach to the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric infectious diseases. Brief clinical scenarios are followed by discussions and supplemented with tables and photographs.

The introductory chapter addresses general principles for the diagnosis and management of infectious diseases. The appendix contains extensive tables and lists pertaining to infectious agents and their epidemiology. The book is illustrated with high-quality color photographs and radiographs. Its readability provides an engaging way to study pediatric infectious diseases.
