Case Reports on Paediatrics

It is the branch of medicine that deals with the medical care of infants, children. The body size differences are paralleled by maturational changes. The smaller body of an infant or neonate is significantly different from that of an adult. Genetic variance, birth defects and developmental issues are of greater concern to pediatricians than they often are to adult physicians.

The major significant difference between pediatrics and adult medicine is that children are minors and, in most jurisdictions, cannot make decisions for themselves.
