| Editorial Review | This is a wonderful reference for prescribing antibiotics for pediatric patients. It not only matches the bug with a drug, it also addresses various prescribing concerns that are important to safely and effectively dose and monitor patients. This second edition has revised and updated mechanisms of action, resistance, and empiric therapy sections as well as revised dosing in special circumstances, therapeutic monitoring, adverse drug reactions, and antimicrobial desensitization protocols. Current available evidence and guidelines were reviewed to provide the recommendations in this book. Because guidelines change, antibiotic resistance surfaces, and new information emerges, this new edition is warranted.-Judith Klevan, BSPharm(Jeanes Hospital) Doody Review: 4 stars |
