Description and Table of Contents
Description
Following a problem-based approach, this textbook focuses on the presenting signs and symptoms, allowing the reader to think about diagnosis in a practical way. Case studies are included to explain diagnostic or management problems and to keep a clear focus on the patient. After introductory chapters on history and examination, child development, care of the ill child, paediatric emergencies and the environment (including child abuse), the following chapters are devoted to each body system. The text is illustrated with colour photographs, graphics and artwork, which help to fix the concepts of examination and growth and development in the student's mind. Tables, lists and graphs clarify and condense important or complicated information.
