title: The usual childhood diseases: forgotten but not gone.
abstract: With the advent of vaccine protection for many diseases, many of today's practitioners have never seen cases of what were the common childhood diseases. If any of these diseases returns, there is a risk that the practitioner will not recognize it. This article tries to establish why the diseases may return and to describe the diseases with photographs.
