| Summary: | Kumar (transplant infectious diseases, U. of Alberta, Canada) et al. present a handbook from members of the American Society of Transplantation Infectious Diseases Community of Practice that uses 57 tables and flowcharts to help physicians make decisions in the management of infections in adult and pediatric organ and stem cell transplant patients. A group of infectious disease and other specialists from North America, Switzerland, and Iran provide charts that address general issues and infectious syndromes; specific pathogens from hepatitis to tuberculosis, and their diagnosis, prevention, and therapy; donor issues like evaluation and risk of donor-derived infections; prevention of post-transplantation infections; and post-transplant medications and drug interactions. They do not provide information on comprehensive dosing or the spectrum of activity of commonly used antimicrobials. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com). |
