N2  - The practice of medicine requires constant teamwork among various disciplines to achieve the best
results in patient care. In this textbook Infectious Diseases in Pediatric Otolaryngology, we set up to
provide an easy to use guide for the management of infectious conditions in the head and neck using
the same collaborative model that we use in the everyday management of patients. Each chapter compiles the expert opinions and recommendations of pediatric otolaryngologist and pediatric infectious
disease specialists to provide a comprehensive approach to the management of these conditions.
Infectious diseases constitute a large portion of the practice of pediatric otolaryngology. It is also
important for pediatric practitioners to identify conditions that may require surgical management. We
have tried not to standardize therapy, but rather have chosen to preserve the differences among the
recommendations of the authors in order to illustrate that a variety of approaches to treatment may be
available.
Finally, we would like to thank the many contributors for their excellent and timely chapters and
the editorial staff at Springer for their wonderful assistance. We hope that students, pediatric and otolaryngology residents, and practicing physicians find the guidelines outlined in this book useful and
readily accessible.
We would like to specially thank our wives Carole and Karen and our children Isaac, Cristian, and
Eric for their unwavering support during this project
