The book beautifully blends the art and science of clinical examination of children. The book has been extensively revised, updated and expanded to handle children with tact and clinical skills and their parents and attendants with concern and compassion. The Chapter on abnormal physical signs and their interpretation has been expanded and book can serve as an excellent manual to the practising pediatricians for differential diagnosis of common clinical disorders in children. A new chapter on common pediatric procedures has been included. A large number of additional photographs, tables and boxes with key points have been included. It is one of the most comprehensive publication on pediatric clinical methods to serve the felt needs of medical graduate students, pediatric residents and pediatricians to rejuvenate the dwindling art of pediatrics.
