4Preface to the Second Edition
In this new second edition, three major changes have occurred. First, the design and the layout of the book are totally changed by experts from Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd, New Delhi to be simpler and more attractive. Second, concise and clear descriptions of all figures in the book are added to help accurate recognition of the relevant findings. Third, some figures are replaced by better ones.
I hope that this new edition will be useful to medical students and junior Pediatricians.

5Preface to the First Edition
Visual recognition of clinical signs is extremely important in clinical diagnosis. Visual memory is strong and long lasting, and one image is probably more effective than several pages.
In this short atlas, the most important clinical signs are collected in 8 chapters and in around 200 new images. With each image, description of the relevant findings and the important criteria for diagnosis are included.
Some important chapters as chest and cardiac diseases are intentionally omitted because diagnosis of these diseases depends mainly on hearing and not seeing.
In this short book every sincere effort has been made to make it as simple as possible and I hope it can be useful for medical students and young pediatricians.
