Protocols for Infectious Disease in Obstetrics and Gynecology / Edition 2

by Philip Mead, W David Hager

Overview

The demand for practical management guidelines prompted the creation of this book to address infectious disease problems in obstetrics and gynecology. The text was modeled after the successful protocols format developed by Dr. John T. Queenan. The contributor list is impressive; each protocol author is a member of Infectious Disease Society for Obstetrics & Gynecology. While there are larger, more comprehensive textbooks on this subject, none utilize this practical, concise format. This book will be an excellent addition to the protocols series.
