title: [Adverse reactions to drugs in pediatric medicine. A point of view].
abstract: The ever growing volume of medical literature on adverse drug reactions in pediatric medicine and the lack of a thorough pharmacological screening of drugs in children, deserve particular attention from clinicians. A word of caution is given to keep adverse drugs reactions into perspective and a word of advise is also given to encourage clinicians to report adverse drug reactions in children. Various aspects of this old and yet actual problem are given pointing out new examples as introductory remarks to forthcoming reviews.
