Red Book Atlas of Pediatric Infectious Diseases1 review
Carol J. Baker MD FAAP
American Academy of Pediatrics, 2007
Great Addition to the Red Book Family!
The Red Book Atlas has great pictures and "brings to life" it's text-only counterpart. The associated text on each topic is nice and concise. I would recommend this book as an adjunct to the standard pediatric derm books because it has so much more ID dermatology. A great buy!
