Author Description
Extensively rewritten and expanded, this book aims to help physicians with the real problems of pediatric care in a family practice setting. The authors have concentrated on problems that are either common or, if rare, are life-threatening and therefore must be considered when the doctor examines a sick child. The prevention of ill health, psychosocial problems, asthma, and common infectious diseases figure prominently. New topics covered include: the teenage mother, sexual abuse, care of low birth weight babies, the role of allergy in disease, and recent advances in prenatal diagnostic techniques.
