Malattie infettive pediatriche

Le malattie infettive sono tra le principali cause di morbilità e mortalità in età pediatrica in tutto il mondo. La loro gestione richiede una comprensione approfondita degli agenti eziologici, dell’epidemiologia e delle strategie di diagnosi, prevenzione e controllo; comprensione che questo manuale si propone di impostare e sostenere con uno strumento solido, utile e rapido da consultare.Nella prima sezione si descrivono gli agenti eziologici causa di malattie infettive pediatriche, dai batteri ai virus, dai protozoi ai funghi e ai parassiti. La loro variabilità e la loro capacità di mutare e di adattarsi impone una comprensione dinamica delle modalità di trasmissione, dei fattori di rischio e dei meccanismi patogenetici.Nella seconda sezione si illustrano i quadri clinici: ogni capitolo presenta le caratteristiche cliniche, le modalità di diagnosi, le opzioni terapeutiche, le strategie preventive e gli strumenti per la gestione delle patologie. Particolare attenzione è riservata alle malattie infettive emergenti e riemergenti, in un contesto di globalizzazione e di cambiamenti ambientali che può favorire la diffusione di nuovi o la ricomparsi di vecchi patogeni.In appendice si descrivono i principali test diagnostici, gli aspetti dell’immunizzazione attiva e passiva e le raccomandazioni per soggetti o situazioni a rischio. La prevenzione ha un ruolo essenziale nella gestione delle malattie infettive pediatriche; perciò, ampio spazio è riservato ai programmi di vaccinazione, alle pratiche di igiene e alle misure di controllo delle infezioni.

This book features 121 case studies intended to provide an approach to the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric infectious diseases. Brief clinical scenarios are followed by discussions and supplemented with tables and photographs. The author considers infections caused by a wide spectrum of viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infectious agents, as well as those affecting specific anatomic sites. The author addresses both common infections and those presenting a greater challenge in diagnosis. Discussions focus on principles of management, as opposed to details, and place emphasis on determining risk factors and on clinical evaluation, not on performing non-discriminating laboratory tests. The introductory chapter addresses general principles for the diagnosis and management of infectious diseases. The appendix contains extensive tables and lists pertaining to infectious agents and their epidemiology. The book is illustrated with high-quality color photographs and radiographs. Its readability provides an engaging way to study pediatric infectious diseases.

This portable and practical handbook, first published in 2006, provides a concise guide to the essentials of pediatric HIV care in a form suitable for doctors in the busy hospital setting. During recent years, many agents for the treatment and prophylaxis of HIV infection and the opportunistic infections that accompany HIV infection have been developed, and many new ways of monitoring HIV infection in children have been produced. These therapies and approaches to management are complicated, but the long-term health of HIV-infected children depends on their correct application. This handbook presents the core information and guidelines necessary for effective management of infected children. Two other important themes are ways to minimise mother-to-infant transmission, and the challenges of looking after these children in resource-poor countries.

The book provides helpful tables, diagrams, charts, photographs, color plates as well as cross-referencing between chapters to help associate symptoms and speed diagnosis.
