Contributors Foreword
I am happy to write a foreword to Case-based Reviews in Pediatric Infectious Diseases. Choice of infectious diseases is most apt as not only infectious diseases from major part of pediatric practice but they often pose challenges in terms of diagnosis and rational treatment. Case-based learning helps to develop skills for analytical thinking and reflective judgment by reading discussion on real-life situations faced in practice. Reviews offer insight into a thought process of arriving at a probable diagnosis, choosing appropriate tests and instituting rational treatment. This book is different than a textbook in that it combines basic knowledge and analytical skills that together pave the way for rational practice. Readers would identify similar situations that they may have faced in office practice and compare author's views with their own. In effect, it becomes an interactive self-learning exercise. It is the best way of continuing medical education.
Clinical medicine presents with different types of challenges and this book deals with all of them with representative case scenarios. Patient usually reports to a pediatrician with symptoms that must be properly analyzed with detailed history and focussed physical examination to arrive at a probable diagnosis. Broad diagnosis such as pneumonia is often possible but specific etiology is not easy to judge and needs rational thinking. Even when specific etiological diagnosis is made, complications may prove a hurdle in successful outcome. Non-specific physical findings such as hepatosplenomegaly may indicate an infectious disease that demands rational consideration because it may as well be a non-infectious disease. Positive infection-specific antibodies may indicate recent or old infection, carrier state or even cross-reacting antibodies to another infection, and hence interpretation of such tests need caution. Imaging modalities denote pathology more than etiology as in case of ring enhancing lesion on CT brain scan that may suggest tuberculosis, cysticercosis or transient disappearing benign lesion. Such are the challenges of infectious diseases and reader will find in this book, all such practical issues presented with case-based discussions. Immunization is the integral part of prevention of infectious diseases and is rightly addressed in this book.
It is an irony that every sick child is presumed to be suffering from infection and unfortunately prescribed an antibiotic at the first contact. Abuse of antibiotics have thus led to increasing drug resistance. It is possible to make reasonably correct decisions about presence or absence of infection and whether infection is bacterial or otherwise. With varied types of case-scenarios, I am sure, reader will be stimulated to think rationally that will pave the way for ideal clinical practice. It is time that we all join this crusade against infections and I wish every reader gets sensitized after studying this excellent book.

Preface
Come fever and the first thing that strikes our mind is Infection!! Which indeed, is the case most of the times. Yet infections may not always be associated with fever (as happens in congenitally acquired infections) and not all fevers are due to infections. There can be no better way to bring out these fine nuances than by studying the case-based scenarios, which is what this book intends to do.
The most essential part of a student's instruction is obtained ….not in the lecture-room, but at the bedside.
–Oliver Wendell Holmes
The authors have unfolded the mystery behind each case, step by step, working on them as if they were detectives.
Methods of physicians are like those of a detective, one seeking to explain a disease, other a crime.
–Anonymous
We have purposely placed these case studies randomly and have not grouped them under any class, so that the readers have an element of surprise and wonder whether it is a case of infection or a mimic.
Observation is not merely the power of seeing, looking or matching. It should evolve and proceed through a carefully directed analytic exercise to shed new light, provide meaningful insight, propose creative solutions or arrive at novel conclusions.
–Sir William Osler
We hope the readers will find this collection interesting and of help in evolving the art of rationally analyzing the cases in hand.
