Additional Details
Completely updated and revised, Nelson’s Neonatal Antimicrobial Therapy, 2nd Edition, provides the most current, practical, and evidence-based recommendations for health care professionals treating neonates. Developed by leading experts in antimicrobial therapy, this resource aims to help clinicians select the right drug, dose, and duration for the treatment of bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections in neonates.
Neonatal infectious disease therapeutics research continues to expand and respond to emerging novel pathogens and bacterial resistance. The recommendations in this book are based on the best available evidence to provide those taking care of neonates with the best possible treatment decisions, with updated guidance on dosing for low-birth-weight newborns, drug monographs for commonly prescribed drugs, and antimicrobial stewardship guidance for the nursery.
This book provides clinical guidance for anyone involved in caring for newborns. The book is highly relevant for pediatricians, hospitalists, and neonatologists, and would be helpful for students or trainees in pediatrics and neonatal medicine as well. This book has a narrow scope, limited to characteristics and indications for antimicrobial use in neonates. The straightforward and organized way the information is presented supports the aims of the book in allowing for streamlined guidance in evaluation and treatment of suspected or confirmed neonatal infections. The editors are respected in the field, with this title having served as a foundational pediatric text for generations. The American Academy of Pediatrics, an organization that is trusted and respected by pediatricians worldwide, developed this text.
The audience is all clinicians who prescribe antimicrobials for neonates. It will be especially helpful to residents and nurse practitioners who may need guidance beyond the standard dosing regimens of package inserts and antibiotic dosing guides. The authors are internationally known experts in this field.
Doody's Review
Score: 100/100
Stars: 5
"This is an outstanding clinical guidebook and an essential reference for anyone caring for neonates. The main strength of this book is how it is both comprehensive yet concise. Practitioners may be familiar with the AAP Red Book, which is the recognized authority on pediatric infectious diseases. The Red Book is an excellent reference text but is over 1000 pages in length and is not specific to neonates. This book is less than 100 pages and is targeted towards neonatal patients, making it a far more practical guide to have on hand."
-- Maradith Skalak, MD (Tulane University School of Medicine) Doody's Review
"This handbook will be an invaluable asset for clinicians practicing in the NICU. It goes beyond the standard treatment tables found in most general textbooks and the drug-by-drug approach of NeoFax. The book will need to be updated frequently as new information in this rapidly changing area becomes available."
