"This is the 32nd edition of the Red Book, which is the Report of the Committee on Infectious Disease of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). The information provided is the most current and includes COVID-19 infection/disease. This reference is a classic and is a highly recommended source on pediatric infectious diseases for pediatric providers at all levels of training. I would suggest a copy be available in the office, clinic, and hospital areas that treat pediatric patients."
