Pediatric Primary Care: Ill-Child Care

Dr. Baker's popular, practical Handbook of Pediatric Primary Care has now been updated and expanded into two volumes, one devoted to well-child care and one focusing on the ill child. Pediatric Primary Care: Ill-Child Care addresses the common illnesses that comprise primary care sick or problem visits. The book is organized according to organ system. New chapters cover common exanthems of childhood, acne, cardiac murmur evaluation, gastrointestinal parasites, gastroesophageal reflux disease, acute abdominal pain, diabetes, and vision and hearing abnormalities. Generic names, brand names, and suggested dosages of medications are indicated, and the Appendices include guidelines for antimicrobial drug dosages.
