About the Book

A comprehensive textbook of paediatrics in which childhood disease is described within the context of social determinants of illness, such as genetic origins and social factors. It emphasizes differential diagnosis from a presenting problem viewpoint, and is designed for any problem-based learning style of curriculum. It gives a detailed treatment of paediatric illnesses, arranged by systems, and also includes chapters on the neonate and paediatric emergencies. The text takes into account social factors in paediatrics - the family, problems of adolescence and more. Clinical examples, clearly signposted, are used throughout, and each part includes self-assessment section and further reading. Some chapters have been specifically written to meet the needs of the Australia and Asia/Pacific region.
