5th edition. — Jaypee Brothers Medical Pub, 2013. — 1245 p.This book, IAP Textbook of Pediatrics, deals with various issues related to pediatrics. The recent decades have witnessed rapid strides in medicine and technological advances in biological sciences. The specialty of pediatrics has made substantial advances in preventive and therapeutic care. New vistas for care of children have been opened and many fresh thrust areas requiring our immediate or continued attention to decrease both morbidity and mortality have been delineated. These have provided fresh impetus to revise knowledge, harvest new information and thus continue the process of learning. The main focus of the new edition has now shifted to practicing pediatricians as against the original concept of undergraduates. The book represents a substantial revision and reorganization of the text based on a complete review of the field of pediatrics.Pediatrics — Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
