Pediatrics in General Practice.

      Аннотация: This book utilizes a unique clinical approach. Most current textbooks of pediatrics are based on 'systemic approach'. However, children or their parents present to the pediatrician with a symptom or an obvious sign. Therefore, in the process leading to a diagnosis, a 'symptom complex approach' is more practical, direct, effective and time saving than a ‘system approach’. This book utilizes that approach in diagnosis in children. This is desperately needed in the present day scenario. Currently competition for admission to postgraduate courses impels undergraduate students to skip clinical and practical medicine and instead acquire theoretical knowledge that ensures admission to a postgraduate course of choice. Reference textbooks available provide excellent information to that end. This book, as a primer of Pediatrics however, provides basic information that every student must have so that he could benefit from larger reference texts as required.
