"This book is a comprehensive reference book covering the fetal and neonatal aspects of immunology and infectious diseases from a global perspective. Specific infectious diseases are covered in great detail, with specific recommendations for prevention and treatment. The companion ebook is available on Elsevier+ and is a faithful adaptation of the physical book. The previous edition was published in 2015." ©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Maradith L Skalak, MD (Tulane University School of Medicine), Doody’s Score: 99 - 5 Stars!
