The book is the outcome of the sincere and the undaunted effort of many a members of Pediatric Association of India (PAI). Apart from the regular journal, it is the first publication of PAI for young pediatricians and pediatrics practitioners of the country. It is a useful book of its own standing which is rare in the table top for ready reference. The efforts of Dr Anoop Verma and his team is praise worthy. The Chhattisgarh Branch of PAI as a whole with all the PAI members deserve praise for this maiden venture.
The book will be useful for general practitioners and pediatricians in the management of day-to-day pediatrics problems encountered in office practice. The treatment instructions along with the available common market preparation will make therapy a beautiful hand on experience. The clinical presentation of the diseases in short, the appropriate investigations and therapy at large will help the practitioners, students as well as pediatrics fraternity.
It is a long-cherished ambition, which came true. What has been decided in the birthday of PAI at IMA House, New Delhi materialized after a long gap of 9 years. It is expected that many such will roll out in the pipeline in the days to come. The wonderful book in the present shape and the effort of many a pediatricians and super specialists in pediatrics. Hope it will cater for the very purpose, it is created.

Foreword
It is a matter of great pleasure and utmost satisfaction to me that Pediatric Association of India (PAI) is progressing ahead day-by-day and is fulfilling its goal to help the pediatricians in their office practice.
With this target in mind, this tabletop quick clinical reckoner is being published, which will be an extremely useful guide to practicing general pediatricians, undergraduate and postgraduate students and general practitioners who can refer the concerned chapter for a quick overview of the topic, relevant investigations and management protocol.
My sincere compliments to all the authors for their sincere efforts to disseminate the knowledge by contributing chapters for this prestigious publication.
I congratulate the whole editorial board led by Dr Anoop Verma, for their untiring effort to bring out this book in present shape.
I am sure that this book will be popular amongst the practicing pediatricians and will contribute in rational management of diseases in office practice.

Foreword
I have immense pleasure in wring this forward for the reference book in pediatrics, carefully compiled by our seasoned stalwarts of the Pediatric Association of India.
The book is a unique venture to not only serve as a desk reference for every pediatrician in the developing world, but also as a textbook for the budding pediatricians and general practitioners alike. Experienced teachers and seasoned practicing pediatricians have put in their best effort in the most brilliant manner, covering most of the clinical conditions peculiar to the region, not adequately covered in western textbooks.
Very carefully designed sub-specialty chapters presented in this book in a lucid but structured manner, will go a long way in fulfilling the long unmet need of our undergraduate and postgraduate students in so far as the competence-based pediatric education is concerned. No doubt, the book is bound to help producing most competent pediatricians for the service of our society in general and the sick tiny-tots in particular.

Preface
“I never did anything worth by an accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident.”
–Thomas A Edison
There is felt the need for a handbook, which can be readily used as an instant reference in a busy clinic or hospital. Pediatric Association of India (PAI) recognized this necessity for long, and brought the best brain with their experience and vision to give the best in this book.
The book is focused on the need of common pediatricians, undergraduates, postgraduates, specialists and super-specialists. The chapters written are well thought of and planned to include the common clinical conditions seen in office practice.
It is a basic fact in medicine that more you see, more you learn and the more you are compelled to search, gradually your brain accumulate rich clinical acumen. Chance favors the prepared mind and referring the text of this book is making use of good chance in right perspective.
“To indulge in a large number of investigation, or to repeat and extend them without good reason, is both crude medicine and distasteful.”
–John Apley
This book focuses more on using relevant investigations more precisely. Reaching the diagnosis on clinical ladder one must make use of desired investigations listed in each chapter. The practice of extensive and irrelevant investigations is to be discouraged.
“The young physician starts life with twenty drugs for each disease, and the old physician ends life with one drug for twenty diseases. Remember how much you do not know. Do not pour strange medicines into your patients.”
–Sir William Osler
The adage is very apt, and this must be a lesson to all who are practicing medicine. The concept of having “prescription assistance” after many chapters is a new idea to assist the treating physician to quickly search the market preparation that saves time and improves the confidence of treating physician and quality of prescription.
We must remember a famous quote by Dr Meharban Singh. “It is unfortunate fact that most people in the world are now suffering from drugs and not from the disease. Because no drug is indeed entirely safe but most disease is either mild or self-limiting”.
Hope the readers of this book will enjoy the essence and the style of the book to improve their personal practice for the benefit of the patient.
Anoop Verma
