The target audience for Infections in Special Populations is board-certified infectious diseases pharmacists who provide care for individuals with or at risk for infectious diseases. Infections in Special Populations contains five learning modules with a total available 23.5 continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits. Book content was developed under the leadership of Faculty Panel Chair Jason Child, Pharm.D., BCIDP.
The first module offers updates on perinatal and neonatal infections and current treatment options. It also explores the unique challenges of managing HIV in select populations, providing practical considerations for clinicians. The second module explores the intricate interplay between innate and acquired immunodeficiencies and their impact on susceptibility to infections. It explores the risk of infections in patients requiring central venous catheters, offering insights into preventive strategies and management considerations. The third module focuses on outpatient antimicrobial therapy and the complexities of antimicrobial management and stability. Pediatric MSK infections with treatment options are also a focus in the third module. The fourth module focuses on updates to the STI treatment guidelines and alternatives in special populations. It includes the updated diagnosis and treatment guidelines for UTI and asymptomatic bacteria. The final module consists of two case series that provide appropriate diagnosis and treatment for pediatric appendicitis and pneumonia. Overall, this resource offers valuable insights into the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infections across diverse patient populations with immune deficiencies.
