Immunizations, animal-induced injuries and disease, neonatal jaundice, and viral infections.
Four areas of concern for the pediatric practitioner are examined by the review of recent literature on the topics of immunization, animal-induced illness and injury, neonatal jaundice, and viral infections. An attempts to place these subjects into the perspective of the primary care office and into the current social and political climate as it applies to health care will also be made. By highlighting the literature of the past year on the above categories, I hope to provide topical information for pediatricians as they care for patients and their families.
