ABSTRACT

In many paediatric cases the definitive diagnosis may not be made in the primary care setting, but this is where suspicions are often raised. General Practitioners are, therefore, required to maintain a breadth of knowledge covering the specialty. This invaluable guide outlines a case scenario followed by a highly detailed explanation of the condition and its management, presenting the symptoms in a way that are likely to be encountered in general practice.
