Handbook of Meningococcal Disease Management cover

This concise pocketbook will provide readers with an overview and background of meningococcal disease, treatment options and emerging therapies, and methods of prevention. The book was originally commissioned due to recent developments in vaccinations to prevent meningococcal disease. This book reviews the disease progression and associated risk factors; its pathogenesis and diagnosis; methods of treatment and prevention, both current and emerging; and the future directions of meningococcal disease management. The book is ideal for busy healthcare professionals, as it covers all aspects of the disease and its treatment in a condensed and manageable format, whilst including the most up-to-date treatment guidelines and algorithms.

“This is an amazingly comprehensive 111-page review of a worldwide problem, meningococcal disease, which in some cases can be fatal. It covers all aspects of the disease from epidemiology and clinical presentation through prevention. … The book targets a broad audience, ranging from medical and public health students to clinicians and research scientists. … This is a small, high-quality book about a big problem. There is just enough science about meningococcal disease for clinicians … .” (Rudolf Jan Kotula, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2016)
