11Foreword
The life of a busy pediatrician does not allow frequent consultation of reference books. But, in the rapidly changing world of clinical knowledge, it is not possible to survive without updating your knowledge. Although a variety of ready reckoners are available, this book titled Pediatrics for Practitioner is a worthy addition to such books. It allows the practitioners to go through the important topics in a short period of time and get the much-needed answers to common problems.
All the contributors of this book are renowned experts of their field. All multi-authored books have a common problem, that there is too much diversity in presentation, but here the editors have done a brilliant job of overcoming it.
I am sure this book will come in handy in solving your many day-to-day doubts and also enlighten you regarding many new developments and old principles. It is extremely well written and compiled.
I am very proud of this effort and I hope it proves to be very beneficial for all of us.

13Preface
The practitioners form the backbone of pediatric health care services in the community. Major chunk of our forum are formed by the practitioners. This book is designed to keep them updated for common pediatric problems, which are seen in office practice.
Pediatrics is still a developing subject with ever-changing concepts. The diseases which are prevalent in our country are different from those in the Western countries. There is definitely a need for a book, which gives stress on the disease pattern prevalent in our country.
The book includes topics on General Pediatrics, Neonatal Problems and Common Pediatric Emergencies. The articles are contributed by renowned authors in their field from our country and abroad. Articles are written in a concise way with main emphasis on diagnostic approach and recent management guidelines. The book is reader friendly and practice oriented. The book also includes color photographs of various common skin conditions seen in children.
This book is useful for undergraduate students and can serve as a basic book for postgraduate students.
We welcome comments, critical reviews and suggestions regarding content of the book.
