Summary

This is a comprehensive, pocket-sized clinical handbook covering all the information that a medical student would encounter during pediatric clinical rotation. The content is organized by presenting complaint, and each chapter follows the same format--presenting symptoms, differential diagnosis, laboratory assessment, treatments, and suggested readings. The book also includes tables of normal lab values, a comprehensive syndrome glossary, an instructive cardiology lab, a glossary of surgical terms, and a pediatric medication guide.
