The book is designed to serve as a "study guide and visual resource for students, residents, practicing physicians, and other health care professionals who care for infants and children." It is intended for all pediatric providers, from medical students to experienced clinicians. The editor, Dr. Tina Q. Tan, is a leader in pediatric infectious diseases. Her broad base of knowledge and experience shine through in the quality and thoroughness of the book.

Doody's Review
"This reference book containing salient high-quality images of a variety of nature is helpful for those wanting a reference for pediatric infectious diseases. It also contains brief disease summaries that highlight salient points found in its companion the Red Book. This is a necessary update giving the rapidly shifting infectious disease landscape and serves its purpose in providing graphical examples of items discussed in the Red Book. The editing of this work provides a comprehensive companion to the Red Book and will be an excellent resource to learners and practicing providers alike."
-- Arthur Chang, MD (University of Nebraska Medical Center) Doody's Review
"This book is a must-have for any practitioner in pediatric care. It thoughtfully approaches the diagnosis and management of pediatric infectious disease. The book is clearly written and easily accessible to providers at all levels of experience. The numerous color pictures, charts, and pathways will help readers understand all aspects of each disease. This book exemplifies the knowledge and experience of Dr. Tan."
-- Poj Lysouvakon, MD (Comer Children's Hospital) Doody's Review - previous edition
"This book is of the highest quality and justifies the replacement of the previous edition. The fast-developing field of infectious diseases requires regular reevaluation, and timely updates of both the AAP Red Book and this companion atlas are crucial. There is simply no other book like it in the field, and it is invaluable to pediatric practitioners."
