Newborns and young children are unable to verbalise their symptoms so clinicians must diagnose and treat young patients based on their own evaluation and judgement. This book is a practical guide to the clinical assessment of newborns, infants and children, covering a variety of conditions and disorders. Chapters are highly illustrated with self-explanatory photographs, systematic discussion, descriptive tables, WHO growth charts and clinical case scenarios. Authored by experts in the field, emphasis is placed on communication techniques to help students master interaction with patients and their parents, as well as approach examinations and interviews with confidence.
