Paediatrics and Child Health

Particularly suitable for South African health care professionals, first-line practitioners and medical students, this comprehensive introduction to paediatrics and child health illustrates primary health care applications, and uses South African examples to highlight local health problems. The content reflects the multidisciplinary approach and practical know-how of more than 30 South African experts, most of them professors with years of extensive teaching and research experience.This thoroughly revised and updated edition has been re-arranged to start off with a description of common presenting symptoms or problems referable to that particular system, followed by systematic discussion of important conditions. It is expected that this approach will facilitate problem solving and problem-based self-study.
