This uniquely comprehensive work provides a pictorial guide to the whole spectrum of diseases and disorders of the respiratory tract in children. It covers the ear, nose and throat, upper and lower airways, and encompasses not only the many conditions that are commonly encountered, but also those that are rarer or more difficult to recognise and diagnose. These include the increasingly important areas of sleep disorders, where patient assessment may present a challenge. Designed to aid the clinician in making a rapid and accurate diagnosis, this Atlas will be of interest to paediatricians, respiratory physicians, and ENT specialists.
