This book presents a uniquely organized clinical guide to pediatrics, with all symptoms and signs arranged alphabetically for easy reference. Each symptom and sign is discussed in detail up to the level of possible clinical diagnosis, covering definitions, pathophysiology, causes, methods of elicitation, and clinical impressions. It also outlines systematic clinical approaches, including general and systemic examinations, relevant investigations, and procedures needed to reach a diagnosis. Wherever possible, concepts are supported with illustrative photographs to enhance understanding. Designed as a ready reckoner, the book compiles comprehensive information in one place, eliminating the need to consult multiple sources. It is valuable for undergraduate and postgraduate students, competitive exam preparation, academic pediatricians, and practicing clinicians seeking to refine their clinical knowledge and skills.
