Kimberlin Premium Multicolor Matt Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA child arrives febrile and unwell, and the question is never \"what does the textbook say about this organism\". It is \"what is going on here, and what do I do in the next hour\". Long's is built around that reality: nearly 300 chapters across 1,808 pages, arranged so you can enter from whichever end of the problem you are actually holding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the feature that distinguishes it from every general paediatrics text. You can look a problem up by \u003cstrong\u003eclinical presentation\u003c\/strong\u003e when you have a syndrome and no name for it, by \u003cstrong\u003epathogen\u003c\/strong\u003e when the laboratory has given you an organism, or by \u003cstrong\u003ehost type\u003c\/strong\u003e when the child is a neonate, immunocompromised or post-transplant and the usual rules do not apply. Cross-references run between the three, so a search that starts in one place lands in the others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNew in This Edition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e• A \u003cstrong\u003enew editor-in-chief and editorial team\u003c\/strong\u003e, led by David W.

The commonest serious error in paediatric infectious disease is not picking the wrong antibiotic — it is treating a hyperinflammatory syndrome as sepsis.
