And it has been expanded with a wealth of must-know new clinical content in key areas like active and passive immunization; care of children in special circumstances; management of specific conditions such as anthrax, smallpox, influenza, and pneumococcal infections; and much more. Now the 27th edition is a new "information generation" resource available in whatever format you need in every setting, including at the point of care.
