About this title

Synopsis

Covering all aspects of paediatrics and community child health, this book will appeal to clinical medicine students and postgraduate students preparing for the MRCP. Each chapter islavishly illustrated with clinical photographs and consistently organised. For each condition described there is coverage of symptoms, signs and diagnostic investigations. Principles of Management and more general child health issues such as prevention and Health Promotion, Accidents and Abuse are also covered.

The book is organised into 28 chapters. An opening introduction and chapter on epidemiology (UK and International) leads on to the section covering growth and development and then to the main section of the book dealing with immunology, infection, nutrition and disorders by each body system (Respiratory, Endocrine, Gastrointestinal etc).

All these chapters are lavishly illustrated with clinical photographs and consistently organised. For each condition described there is coverage of symptoms, signs and diagnostic investigations. Principles of management are also discussed.

The main clinical section is followed by chapters dealing with more generalised Child Health issues such as prevention and Health Promotion, Accidents, Abuse and International Paediatrics. The inclusion of these chapters reflects that paediatricians need to be aware not just about particular organ systems and processes, but also social and environmental influences, which havea major impact on the health and well being of children.

Provides more than 775 high quality clinical photos which accurately depict clinical conditions that the student will see, enhancing how to recognize and interpret physical signs. Features a text-atlas format which serves not only as a complete visual reference, but also as a stand alone course of instruction. Provides a comprehensive yet succinct overview of child health, for a quick and reliable revision aid. Includes high level of clinical and symptom discussion for use in day-to-day practice, allowing the user to reach a quick and easy diagnosis.
