Main description:

Treatment & Prognosis in Pediatrics provides paediatricians with recent advances in the successful management of sick children, with emphasis on understanding the characteristics of a disease and how different treatment options may influence it.

Presented in an easy to ready format, each section discusses diseases and disorders found in a different part of the body. A separate chapter is dedicated to neonatal disorders.

Each chapter begins with an initial description of the disease, its pathology and epidemiology, followed by an evaluation of different treatment options and prognosis.
