Moffet's Pediatric Infectious Diseases: A Problem-Oriented Approach

 

Staying true to the unique, problem-oriented approach of Dr.

Hugh Moffet’s previous editions, the fifth edition of Moffet’s Pediatric Infectious Diseases walks the reader step by step through diagnosis and management using a signs and symptoms approach.
