Summary of Major Changes in the 2003 Red Book

Several changes in the 2003 Red Book affect all sections of this edition. Side bar indicators have been added to facilitate easy access to the specific sections; an expanded number of Web site addresses and references to recommendations of the Committee on Infectious Diseases (COID), Committee on Pediatric AIDS, and other committees of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) as well as the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have been included; and for all tables, footnote designators have been changed from symbols to numbers for easier reference. Terms have been updated and standardized throughout the Red Book, including changing hand washing to hand hygiene, adverse reactions to adverse events, Mantoux and PPD (purified protein derivative) to tuberculin skin test, nosocomial to health care-associated, hepatitis B carrier to chronic hepatitis B virus infection; and strict isolation precautions to specific terms (contact precautions, droplet precautions, and airborne precautions). Several name changes of organisms have been incorporated throughout the book, including:

  • Pneumocystis carinii to Pneumocystis jiroveci

  • Tinea versicolor to Pityriasis versicolor

  • Norwalk virus to norovirus

  • Ehrlichia phagocytophila to Anaplasma phagocytophila

  • Chlamydia (Chlamydophila) pneumoniae

  • Chlamydia (Chlamydophila) psittaci
