Atopic disease, rhinitis and conjunctivitis, and upper respiratory infections.
In this section, we review three broad topics in pediatrics: atopic disease, rhinitis and conjunctivitis, and upper respiratory tract infections. These topics comprise three of the most commonly encountered problems in pediatric practice. There have been significant contributions to the pediatric literature in each of these areas over the past year, and we review those of particular interest here. The papers that we have chosen to review were selected for both their scientific significance and practicality. Both review articles and original research are included, but all should be relevant to the care of your patients.
