SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Written expressly for trainees in pediatrics this 3rd edition provides a broad information base with a symptom-complex orientation. It presents a pathophysiologic basis for the approach to differential diagnosis and makes liberal use of algorithms and tables to summarize important information. Perfect for students in the pediatric clerkship, this book is also relied upon by pediatric and family medicine residents, nurses, and anyone who needs quick, concise answers to a broad array of clinical pediatric questions. Problem-oriented approach promotes a better understanding of clinical issues and differential diagnosis. Pathophysiology included to facilitate an understanding of the basis for selection of diagnostic studies and treatments. Six brand new chapters: Adolescent Medicine, Disorders of Behavior, Rheumatic Diseases of Childhood, Oncology, Nervous System, and Ophthalmology. With additional tables and figures in a DVD attached to the textbook
