Description
Children are different. They are not just 'small adults' but are growing and changing all the time - a fact that must not be forgotten
or ignored when children are ill. This new textbook of paediatrics offers a unique approach that takes the age of children into account.
It is divided into two separate and distinct parts: Section 1 deals with children at various ages - from before birth through adolescence
- and studies the normal growing child and common illnesses, using a symptom-based approach; Section 2 provides a mini encyclopaedia
of paediatric disorders, their aetiology, incidence, clinical presentation, diagnosis and management. Cross references provide the necessary
links between the two parts to avoid repetition.
Audience
Undergraduate medical students,GPs, practice nurses.
