Treatment & Prognosis in Pediatrics

This book, Treatment & Prognosis in Pediatrics, deals with pediatrics. The successful management of sick children depends upon up-to-date knowledge of treatment options, coupled with an understanding of the natural history of disease and how treatment options may influence it. This book provides the information in a concise and easily accessible form geared to meet the needs of busy clinicians. For those working in hospitals, it maps out areas of essential treatment and provides supporting references. For those preparing for examinations, it provides a base of knowledge, especially valuable in ‘long case’ discussions on management. For general practitioners, it will inform and update on procedures, which a child may need in a specialist center, as well as provide a guide to treatment which can be started at home. There is an initial account of the disease or condition containing relevant details of pathology and epidemiology. It is followed by sections on treatment, prognosis and where appropriate, follow-ups.
