Core Paediatrics: A Problem-Solving Approach

by Steven Ryan, Jackie Gregg, Leena Patel

Core Paediatrics introduces pediatrics to residents via a case based problem-oriented approach rather than the traditional pathological topic-based approach to reflect the growing number of problem-based courses. The book is structured according to different stages of child development from
the neonate through infant, toddler and primary school age, to the adolescent. Under each section a series of cases highlight common problems at community level, acute presentations and chronic disorders. All core areas are covered, either directly as a case history or under differential diagnosis.
Features *Incorporated introductory chapter on history and examination taking *Highly structured step-by-step approach taking the student through history, examination and investigation *Full color line illustrations and photographs throughout the text
