From the reviews:“Intended for trainees and practitioners in the field of pediatric infectious diseases and immunology, the book is appropriate for both clinicians and researchers. … This is a useful collection of review articles that provides timely communications on hot topics, as intended. For students, physicians, and microbiologists, it will supplement textbooks and stimulate discussions and research in the fields of immunology and pediatric infectious diseases.” (Kari A.
