The second edition of this bestseller draws on the extraordinary knowledge and expertise of clinicians at Great Ormond Street Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, the UK's only academic biomedical research centre that specialises in paediatrics. It provides an all-encompassing coverage of a wide range of paediatric conditions. It provides the clinical presentation, incidence, diagnosis, aetiology/pathogenesis, complications, treatment, management and prognosis for most conditions. The book is also accompanied by more than 1000 illustrations, including clinical photos, imaging, charts, graphs and histology, where appropriate. These are invaluable to enhancing the knowledge necessary to make informed and accurate diagnosis. Its easy-to-read format as well as the comprehensive nature makes it a useful resource for those who treat children.
