Nutritional Disorder
Fluid and Electrolyte Balance
Immunological Disorders
Immunization
IMMUNIZATION PROGRAMS
Operative strategies to achieve adequate immunization keep on changing according to the needs and evaluation assessments. This chapter deals with some important strategies and program to deliver immunization services.
Infections
INTESTINAL PROTOZOAL INFECTIONS
Two most common intestinal protozoal infections in children include Amebiasis and Giardiasis, discussed here.
Genetic Disorder
Birth is a water-shed event in human life, necessitating various physiological changes to adapt from intrauterine to extrauterine life.
Adolescence and dolescence Disorders
Gastrointestinal Disorders
DIAPHRAGMATIC DISORDERS
Diaphragmatic disorders are usually congenital, though acquireddefects due to direct trauma or neurological injury (diaphragmatic palsy) are not uncommon.
INTESTINAL MALFORMATIONS
Congenital malformations of lower gastrointestinal tract may be divided into three categories—(a) small bowel malformations, e.g. atresia, malrotation, etc., (b) colorectal malformations, e.g. Hirschsprung disease or anorectal anomalies, and (c) abdominal wall defects with gut herniation.
15 Disorders of Hepatobiliary System
Respiratory Disorders
Acute respiratory infections are leading causes of post- neonatal mortality in Indian children.
COMMON CLINICAL PRESENTATIONS
PNEUMONIA
Pneumonia, i.e. inflammation of lung parenchyma, due to infectious or non-infectious etiology, may be broadly classified as Infective or non-infective pneumonias.
CHRONIC LUNG DISEASES
While tuberculosis is the commonest chronic lung disease in Indian children, this section deals with some other important chronic lung disorders of congenital or acquired origin.
Disorders of Cardiovascular System
DEVELOPMENTAL CARDIOLOGY
Important developmental aspects of cardiovascular physiology may be broadly divided into four components: (a) Development of the heart, (b) Fetal circulation, (c) Adoptive circulatory changes at birth and (d) Adult circulation.
Disorders of Central Nervous System
P Keerthi Kundana, Mona Gajre, Alpana Kondekar, Mukesh AgrawalNeurological disorders account for ~15-20% of hospitalizations, which may be divided into three major categories: (a) central nervous system disorders, involving brain and spinal cord, (b) neuromuscular disorders involving peripheral nerves and muscles, and rare disorders of autonomic nervous system.
Hematological Disorders
Sujata Sharma, Priyashree Mukherjee, Purvi Kadakia Kutty, Mukesh Agrawa
NUTRITIONAL ANEMIA
Nutritional anemia is defined as the anemia due to deficiency of one or more micronutrients required for normal erythropoiesis and mainly includes: (a) iron deficiency anemia, and (b) megaloblastic anemia, due to vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency.
SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC MODALITIES IN HEMATOLOGY
This chapter deals with some unique therapeutic modalities in management of hematological disorders.
Oncological Disorder
Malignancy is the ninth leading cause of childhood morbidity globally. In India, children account for lt;1% of all reported cancer patients with an estimated incidence of ~14/lac children, which seems to be rising. Childhood malignancies differ markedly from adult cancers in their nature, distribution and prognosis.
Renal Disorder
Kidneys are not only the primary excretory organs, but also contribute to many other functions including electrolyte balance, blood pressure regulation, vitamin D metabolism, and secretion of hormones, e.g. erythropoietin and prostaglandins. Apart from primary renal diseases, kidneys are also involved in many systemic disorders or just by being the excretory outlet of body.
Disorders of Endocrine System
Disorders of Bones and Joint
Mukesh Agrawa
Orthopedic problems in childhood deserve special attention for two reasons: (a) many of them are mere developmental aberrations which correct spontaneously over time and do not need any intervention, e.g. physiological bowing, and (b) even a minor defect of growing skeleton may lead to long-term adverse effects on childhood growth and development.
Rheumatic Disorder
Divya Ramadoss, Mukesh Agrawa
Rheumatic disorders (connective tissue disorders or collagen vascular disorders') is a collective term to denote a large group of conditions with variable manifestations but two common characteristics: (a) acute or chronic inflammation of multiple target organs, specially musculoskeletal system and vasculitis, and (b) an underlying abnormal immune response, e.g. autoimmune etiology.
Skin Disorders
Mukesh Agrawa
Skin disorders are common cause of parental concern, not only for primary pathologies but also for aesthetic and cosmetic reasons. Apart from a protective covering, skin also serves as sensory organ as well as participates in many physiological activities, e.g. thermoregulation, Vitamin D metabolism and energy storage.
COMMON SKIN INFECTIONS
Skin is the primary barrier between internal milieu and external environment and hence, bears the burnt of many infective insults.
DISORDERS OF SKIN APPENDAGES
Skin appendages include hair follicles and hairs, sebaceous glands, apocrine glands, eccrine sweat glands and nails, all, except the nails, mainly present in dermis.
Ophthalmic Disorder
Mukesh Agrawa
Ophthalmic examination is an integral part of general clinical evaluation, not only to identify local disease but also to suspect or detect many systemic abnormalities. Eye is also considered as a window to visualize intracranial pathology.
OCULAR DISORDERS
