Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Paediatric fever is a common problem that every paediatrician and general practitioner will encounter many times during his or her career. If not managed properly the complaint can be fatal; immediate treatment is essential if lasing harm to the patient is to be avoided.
In recent years the interest in fever has grown as a result of not only a greater understanding of thermoregulation, but also the link between fever and sudden infant death syndrome. This book deals with these issues and provides clear practical guidance for the clinician.
After discussing the history of fever the book provides definitions of temperature-related terms, followed by a detailed chapter on pathogenesis. Further chapters describe the measurement of temperature in children and hypothermia in neonates and children. There is extensive coverage of fever in infectious disease and febrile convulsions. All these issues are brought together in the final section which sets out guidelines for management.
The text is well referenced and provides easy access to information on every aspect of childhood fever. It is essential reading for paediatricians, intensive care personnel, general practitioners and senior nursing staff.
