Preface to the Second Edition
Pediatricians, both present and aspiring, need to update their knowledge, acquire new information, and continue to learn, thereby improving current medical practices. We are extremely delighted to present the Second Edition of PG Textbook of Pediatrics within two years of the first print run due to a profuse demand from our readers. Publication of this updated and reorganized second edition was prompted by the wholehearted response to this maiden venture from the practicing pediatricians, postgraduate students, and faculty of pediatrics in the country. We are indebted to our readers who helped us filling a big void. It is flattering to learn that the book was informally nick-named as “Green Nelson” among postgraduates in India! We do value your constructive criticism, diligent advice, and innovative suggestions for the new edition.
We, the editors, consider this as a great opportunity. It is our endeavor to present the subject in a streamlined and organized text, with a down-to-earth approach. This edition represents a thoroughly revised, substantially expanded version; though the basic framework is retained. We have ensured that the ‘art and science’ of clinical pediatrics upholds its central position without being eclipsed by the cacophony of technical advances. A judicious balance between clinical judgment and scientific inquisitiveness is indispensable though challenging; experts in the field have strived hard to make the best decision. We have been comprehensive in the exposure to recent advances so that the children derive the benefits of early diagnosis and adequate and appropriate management.
Every chapter was scrutinized for possible improvement in its exposition. Two new chapters—one on ethical issues, and other on microbiome—were added to address lacunae in our postgraduate training. Other new chapters include dengue vaccines, antiviral drugs, esophageal motility disorders, microcephaly, infantile tremor syndrome, and drug therapy for rheumatic disorders. Important additions include the Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) growth charts for children and adolescents (5–18 years), INTERGROWTH International charts for birth size and postnatal growth, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) food composition charts 2017, and recent data pertaining to child health from the Rapid Survey on Children (RSOC), National Family Health Survey-4 (NFHS-4), and Sample Registration System (SRS) 2017. The annexure on drug doses is now presented alphabetically in a tabular format, to facilitate easy retrieval. The chapter on millennium development goals (MDG) is replaced by the more relevant sustainable development goals (SDG).
The value of this book is due to its expert contributors. We are indebted to them for their hard work, knowledge, thoughtfulness, and good judgement. The number of contributors has now crossed 700, a record by itself for an Indian textbook! We take this opportunity to pay our humble homage to Dr Panna Choudhury (Section 23 Immunization), and Dr M Vijayakumar (Section 41 Disorders of the Kidney and Urinary Tract) who left us for their heavenly abode. We will sadly miss their expertise and guidance. Two of our Section Editors Dr GR Sethi and Dr Brijesh Arora have retired from active pediatric service to take up active social work. We wish them all the best in their new chosen paths.
Our aim is to be comprehensive, concise and at the same time reader-friendly. To achieve this, we have now incorporated color-coding to highlight important text. Treatment of disorders is highlighted with yellow and green screens for text and tables/boxes, respectively. To emphasize and inculcate practice of Evidence-based medical practice, we have color-coded all tables/boxes pertaining to diagnosis backed by consensus recommendations/guidelines, in pink. Most leading articles and subspecialty consensus recommendations have been referenced under “More on this topic” and these should be consulted when more information is desired. “In a Nutshell” box has been a hit with the readers; it retains its original flavor.
We sincerely hope that this revised second edition too will receive the same patronage from readers as the first edition. We welcome any criticism on and suggestions for further improvement of this textbook.

Preface to the First Edition
In the last decade, many textbooks of pediatrics have been published in India. However, most were targeted towards undergraduates and general practitioners. The number of students opting for postgraduate courses in pediatrics is on the rise. Currently, most postgraduates in pediatrics augment their knowledge by reading and referencing to textbooks published abroad. Many of the Western textbooks are very detailed and provide an important amalgamation of clinical pediatrics with the major advances in genetics, genomics, physiology, diagnosis, imaging, and therapeutics. However, the “state-of-the-art” on the care of the normal and ill neonate, child, or adolescent as presented in these textbooks differ from that practiced in India or South Asia. While these books provide a detailed description of most disorders seen in children, they unfortunately do not provide both evidence-based medicine and astute personal clinical experiences from India. The focus is missing on the core issues relevant in the Indian context, i.e., growth, nutrition, immunization, development, newborn and adolescent health, and programmatic and social issues in child health. The need for a comprehensive postgraduate textbook, which can be adapted to Indian needs, has been recognized and expressed for some time now.
Rapid strides in medicine and technological advances in biological sciences were witnessed in the last decade. Advances in preventive and therapeutic care have opened new prospects for care of children. However, substantial improvements in quality of life have been limited to those with access to healthcare. Poverty, ignorance, war, bioterrorism, misplaced priorities and the lack of political will have prevented many children throughout the world, benefitting from these significant advances. Despite advances in infectious diseases, newer vaccines and preventive neonatal care, mortality and morbidity continue to be unacceptably high. Our priorities for care of children are often different from the developed world. Also, medical advances and good clinical practice must always be coupled with effective advocacy. These aspects need to be addressed in a postgraduate textbook, as current postgraduates are the future decision makers in our country.
It is our earnest wish and hope that the postgraduate textbook will help to fill the long-felt vacuum. It attempts to provide the essential information that postgraduates throughout India need to capture to effectively address the health problems that our children and youth may face in the times to come. Our objective is to be comprehensive yet concise and reader-friendly, embracing both the new advances in science as well as the time-honored art of pediatric practice. Both Indian and international experts in respective fields have provided the details that have been further scrutinized for exposition and usefulness to pediatric postgraduates by a chosen team of eminent academicians. We have liberally included tables, line diagrams, images, clinical photographs, illustrative figures, flow charts and algorithms in the main text. The book is divided into 10 major Parts and further arranged into 51 Sections and Annexures to cover all aspects of postgraduate pediatric curriculum. Themes which have major public health relevance for India are extensively covered. It is almost impossible to cover all pediatric problems with the same degree of detail, and hence a careful balance has been made in the details of description of diseases and their management to the needs of the students, and to keep the book to a manageable size. Summary points “In A Nutshell” are provided at the end of each chapter. Selected recent references—mostly leading articles, reviews and position statements—are provided for more detailed information, if desired by the student or the teacher.
Some kind of overlap is unavoidable in a book of this magnitude, with 725 plus minds working on more than 600 chapters simultaneously. We have strived hard to minimize it. We have also tried our best to keep all the chapters on an even keel despite the unavoidable diversity of disciplines, thoughts, experience, and expressive capabilities of the distinguished authors and section editors, from all over the globe. The book would not have been possible but for the support that we received from these erudite contributors. We are indebted to them for their knowledge, introspection, and judgment during the entire process. Together we have worked hard to produce a compilation that will be helpful to those who desire to learn more about child health in India and thus provide better care for children.
