This publication is intended to contribute to prevention and control of the morbidity and mortality associated with dengue and to serve as an authoritative reference source for health workers and researchers. These guidelines are not intended to replace national guidelines but to assist in the development of national or regional guidelines. They are expected to remain valid for five years (until 2014), although developments in research could change their validity.--Publisher's description.

The contents of this book reflect its origins in a paediatric intensive care unit. This book now includes the dose of every drug commonly prescribed for systemic use in both adults and children, except for diagnostic agents.
