2012-2013 Nelson's Pediatric Antimicrobial Therapy, 19th Edition PDF
it's a small pocket book that you will need to carry with you. it has a great layout and a lot of great information that you can find right away and use on a daily basis.By A. Anari
I have owned every edition of the precious manual since I got a copy signed by Dr Nelson in 1986.By alberto cohen-abbo
The only thing that I missed in the latest editions, is the dose for large people that was cut out to keep the manual in the the same size; that is a pity because with our obese pediatric population we have to consult other sources to get the maximum doses recommended.
