Description
Comprehensively revised since the last edition, this color atlas presents some 2,000 illustrations of conditions that lend themselves to visual diagnosis. The text accompanying the images emphasizes historical factors, examination techniques, visual findings, and diagnostic methods rather than therapy. The 23 chapters begin with genetic disorders and dysmorphic conditions, then cover neonatology, developmental-behavioral pediatrics, allergy and immunology, conditions of each body system (e.g. cardiology, dermatology), child abuse and neglect, infectious disease, surgery, pediatric and adolescent gynecology, orthopedics, and craniofacial syndromes. Most contributors are from the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
