Beschreibung
This book is written for the primary care clinician to help update knowledge of pediatric pulmonology (Latin pulmo, pulmonis ["e;lung"e;] and the Greek - ??y?a, -logia ["e;study of"e;]) in the still young 21st century. It acknowledges some of the amazing stepping stones of science over eons of time in the current understanding of pediatric pulmonary medicine. The current and future shortage of pediatric pulmonologists necessitates steady, rejuvenated information on asthma, cystic fibrosis, and other pulmonologic disorders for primary care clinicians as they care for the child and adolescent with complex respiratory dilemmas and disorders. In view of this shortage and the rapidly increasing knowledge in this field as well as understanding indications for referral to pediatric pulmonologists in the early 21st century, au courant assiduous information aimed at primary care clinicians in these areas becomes increasingly important.
