Pocket Companion to Accompany Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics

Book excerpt: A convenient quick reference in clinical settings and situations where there is no opportunity to refer to a full sized pediatric textbook. The handbook enables the reader to access important basic clinical information on medical and surgical problems of children. The handbook is a companion to the Nelson Textbook and both books should be used as a combined educational activity. A brief synopsis is given for each pediatric disease or disorder. Size, organisation and concise descriptions facilitate fast access to necessary information. The handbook contains cross-references to the appropriate sections of the Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics, 16th edition, when more extensive information is required.
