- Covers the must-know principles for diagnosing and managing opportunistic infections in immunocompromised populations and detailed aspects of their care—information not specifically covered in other books
- Provides authoritative coverage in a one-of-a kind compilation that reflects recent advances in hematopoietic cell and solid organ transplantation, as well as evolving chemotherapeutic regimens and immunomodulation therapies
- Focuses on practical, clinically actionable, and easy-to-find information, providing numerous figures, tables, and treatment algorithms for ease of use and significantly more images than the previous edition
- Covers an evolving immunocompromised patient population receiving novel immunomodulators, such as those with underlying rheumatological and autoinflammatory conditions, and discusses key topics such as microbiome implications in transplantation and oncology, antimicrobial resistant Gram-negative bacteria, EBV-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders, and many others
- Offers the insights and expertise of worldwide contributing authors—expert investigators and clinicians who are actively deciphering the mechanisms of disease and developing the latest approaches to optimal pediatric care
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
