title: [Changes in pediatrics (author's transl)].
abstract: The decrease of infant mortality and the dramatic reduction of infectious diseases including Tuberculosis and Poliomyelitis have changed the problems in pediatrics. Today, sick children, who formerly had to be hospitalised are treated by the practitioner. In the hospitals, physicians are more dealing with chronic and malign diseases, where in addition, problems of psychological guidance of these children and their parents are of importance. Pediatrics should  deal with all aspects of child welfare and development directly or indirectly related to health.
