The demand for practical management guidelines prompted the creation of this book to address infectious disease problems in obstetrics and gynecology. The text was modeled after the successful protocols format developed by Dr John T Queenan. The contributor list is impressive, each protocol author is a member of Infectious Disease Society for Obstetrics & Gynecology. While there are larger, more comprehensive textbooks on this subject available, none utilize this practical, concise format which makes the information so accessible. This book will be an excellent addition to the protocols series.
