PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION
With the new Medical Council of India (MCI) guidelines laying more emphasis on clinical and practical skill development rather than theoretical knowledge, there is immense need for a book on common clinical cases in pediatrics. The present book attempts to fulfill this need and aims to help the undergraduate medical students, interns, and residents in diagnosis and presentation of clinical cases. It would also be helpful to the postgraduate students and the practicing pediatricians.
The most commonly encountered and typical cases have been grouped into 12 categories that include birth defects and genetic disorders, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hematological, renal, central nervous system, endocrine and metabolic, nutritional, oncological disorders, disorders of connective tissue, bones and joints, and the infectious diseases. Each case has been discussed in detail under history, clinical features, differential diagnosis, complications, and treatment. At the end of each case, multiple choice questions have been added to help the student in revision. A comprehensive and exhaustive glossary has also been included. The book is well illustrated with photographs wherever required.
I thank my wife Dr Chetana, for her suggestions and professional help. I am also thankful to Rachana and Shikhar, the gems of my family, for their cooperation.
I express my deep gratitude to M/s Cyber Avenue, for typing the manuscript.
