Main description:

The new edition of this book is a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and management of paediatric diseases and disorders.

Presented as a collection of 105 clinical cases ranging from the most common to the most rare conditions, each topic explains history, signs and symptoms, clinical features, examination and investigation techniques, differential diagnosis, treatment options, and complications.

The fifth edition has been fully revised and updated to provide clinicians with the latest advances and techniques in the field. New cases covering Henoch-Schoenlein purpura, infectious mononucleosis, and obesity, have been added to this edition.

The extensive text is highly illustrated with clinical photographs and diagrams, and an exhaustive glossary provides a ready reckoner for practical and viva voce examination preparation.

The previous edition (9789352501793) published in 2016.
