This document discusses congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (CHPS), a condition where the pyloric muscle thickens, obstructing food passage from stomach to small intestine. It affects young infants, more commonly males. Presentation includes projectile vomiting after feeding. Diagnosis involves abdominal ultrasound and upper GI study. Treatment is pyloromyotomy surgery to cut the thickened pyloric muscle. The document covers epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment including surgical procedure and postoperative care of CHPS.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by episodic obstruction, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and reversibility of airflow obstruction. It affects 9.6 million US children and is more common in boys, children in poor families, and those with onset before age 6. Treatment involves assessment, education, trigger identification, and medications to reduce inflammation and bronchoconstriction. The goal is optimal asthma control through a stepwise treatment approach based on severity. Prognosis depends on severity, with milder cases often improving over time. Prevention focuses on avoiding tobacco smoke, prolonged breastfeeding, active lifestyles, and immunizations.
Kawasaki disease is an acute self-limited vasculitis that primarily affects children under 5 years old. It is characterized by prolonged fever and changes in the mouth, hands and feet, skin rash, and blood vessel inflammation that can lead to aneurysm formation in untreated cases. While the cause is unknown, it is believed to be infectious and may be triggered by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Prompt treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin can reduce the risk of coronary artery aneurysms and subsequent heart disease.
Nephrotic syndrome is a manifestation of glomerular disease characterized by nephrotic range proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia. It is most common in children ages 1.5-6 years and affects boys more than girls. Causes include genetic, secondary, and idiopathic factors. Treatment involves managing edema, infections, and proteinuria with corticosteroids, diuretics, and immunosuppressants. Prognosis is generally good for steroid-responsive nephrotic syndrome but poorer for steroid-resistant cases. Complications can include infections, thrombotic events, and renal failure.
Trachoma is a chronic eye disease caused by Chlamydia trachomatis infection. It is a major cause of preventable blindness worldwide. The infection is transmitted through contact with infected eye or nasal secretions or flies. Recurrent infections during childhood can lead to scarring of the conjunctiva and inwards turning of the eyelashes (trichiasis) in adulthood, causing corneal opacification and blindness. The WHO-led SAFE strategy (surgery, antibiotics, facial cleanliness, and environmental improvement) aims to eliminate trachoma as a public health problem by 2020.
Iron-deficiency anemia is the most common nutritional disorder worldwide. It occurs when iron levels in the body are low and there is not enough iron to produce normal red blood cells. Symptoms can include pallor, fatigue, and irritability. Diagnosis involves blood tests showing low iron levels, smaller and fewer red blood cells. Treatment is oral iron supplementation which leads to improved hemoglobin levels within weeks. Prevention focuses on breastfeeding, iron-fortified formula for infants, and limiting milk intake after age 1.

Breath-holding spells are a common psychosomatic disorder seen in children between 6 months and 6 years old. There are two main types - cyanotic spells which involve apnea and cyanosis, and pallid spells which cause hypotonia and loss of consciousness. Breath-holding spells are usually benign and result from an immature autonomic nervous system. A family history of spells is present in about 35% of cases. Diagnosis is based on clinical history and examination, with no additional testing needed. Management involves reassurance, placing the child on their side during spells, iron supplementation, and potentially atropine or piracetam for severe cases.
Café-au-lait spots, neurofibromas, Lisch nodules, and axillary freckling are characteristic of neurofibromatosis type 1. Plexiform neurofibromas appear as subcutaneous elastic tumors over the face, scalp, neck and chest. Adenoma sebaceum presents as numerous discrete smooth papules over the butterfly area of the face and nasolabial folds. Shagreen patches are irregular cobblestone-like plaques in the lumbosacral area, a characteristic of tuberous sclerosis. Ocular and cutaneous telangiectasias occur in Ataxia telangiectasia, appearing as dilated blood vessels over
Bronchiolitis is a common viral infection that affects infants under 2 years old, usually caused by RSV. It involves inflammation in the small airways of the lungs. Symptoms include cough, wheezing, difficulty breathing, and low oxygen levels. Infants may require admission if their oxygen levels drop below 94%, respiratory rate is over 70, or they have trouble feeding. Treatment focuses on supportive care like oxygen, feeding support, and nebulized saline. Most infants recover in 4-5 days but cough can last 2-4 weeks.
The document discusses the development of the anal canal and the surgical anatomy of the anal canal. It describes different types of imperforate anus including low and high anomalies. Low anomalies include covered anus, ectopic anus, and stenosed anus. High anomalies include anorectal agenesis, rectal atresia, and cloaca. Initial management involves assessing whether temporary colostomy is needed. Treatment of low anomalies involves dilatations or procedures like V-Y anoplasty or cutback procedure. Treatment of high anomalies includes initial colostomy followed by posterior sagittal anorectoplasty to reconstruct the anal canal. Surgical outcomes vary depending on the type of anomaly repaired.
This document describes how to describe various skin lesions by their features and type. It discusses primary lesions like macules, papules, plaques, nodules, vesicles, bullae and pustules.

Urinary tract infections are common in children, especially girls. The most common cause is Escherichia coli bacteria spreading from the intestines. Symptoms vary from mild cystitis to severe pyelonephritis. Diagnosis involves urinalysis and urine culture. Treatment depends on severity but commonly involves antibiotics like trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Imaging with ultrasound is recommended for the first UTI in infants and children under 3, or those with fever or systemic illness, to check for anatomical abnormalities.
This document discusses approaches to macrocephaly and microcephaly. Macrocephaly is defined as a head circumference over 2 standard deviations above the mean, while microcephaly is under 3 standard deviations below the mean. Causes of macrocephaly include genetic factors, hydrocephalus, tumors, and metabolic disorders. Hydrocephalus results from abnormal CSF accumulation and can be obstructive or communicating. Microcephaly can be primary/genetic due to syndromes or secondary from infections, drugs, or hypoxia that impact brain development prenatally or in the first two years. Evaluation and treatment depends on the underlying cause.
Achalasia cardia is a primary esophageal motility disorder caused by loss of inhibitory ganglionic cells in the myentric plexus, resulting in failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax during swallowing. This leads to dilatation of the esophagus above the sphincter and difficulty swallowing (dysphagia). Common symptoms include dysphagia that is worse for liquids, regurgitation, chest pain, weight loss and recurrent pneumonia. Diagnosis is confirmed by barium swallow showing a dilated esophagus and absence of peristalsis on manometry. Treatment options include surgical cardiomyotomy to cut the sphincter muscles, pneumatic balloon dilation, or injection of

Finally, management is discussed in short.
Budd-Chiari syndrome is caused by obstruction of the hepatic veins that drain the liver. It presents as either acute or chronic disease. Acute disease results from sudden thrombosis while chronic disease involves fibrosis. Imaging findings include enlarged caudate lobe, ascites, inability to visualize hepatic veins, and collateral vessel formation. Treatment involves identifying the underlying cause of obstruction and considering interventions like stenting or transplant to relieve pressure in severe cases.
Anorectal malformations refer to anomalies of the rectum and anus that have an incidence of approximately 1 in 5000 live births. They can range from a simple imperforate anus to more complex anomalies associated with genitourinary and pelvic organs. Anorectal malformations are frequently associated with other anomalies as well, such as VACTERL. Surgical treatment depends on the specific defect but may include procedures such as posterior sagittal anorectoplasty. Postoperative nursing care focuses on pain management, maintaining appropriate skin care and drainage, and educating parents on ostomy and wound care.
Retinoblastoma (RB) is a rare form of cancer, that rapidly develops from the immature cells of a retina ( the light-detecting tissue of the eye). It is the most common primary malignant intraocular cancer in children.

The Rastriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) program aims to screen over 27 crore children aged 0-18 years in India for various health conditions. It will implement screening at Anganwadi centers, schools, and through dedicated mobile health teams. Children will be screened for deficiencies, diseases, developmental delays, and disabilities. Those requiring treatment will be referred to District Early Intervention Centers. Implementation involves training community health workers, screening using questionnaires and basic exams, issuing referral slips, maintaining records, and monitoring through monthly reporting.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
it describes the bony anatomy including the femoral head , acetabulum, labrum . also discusses the capsule , ligaments . muscle that act on the hip joint and the range of motion are outlined. factors affecting hip joint stability and weight transmission through the joint are summarized.

5. This book is written for undergraduates keeping in view their special requirements and their dire need of a small book
on Pediatrics. The main object ofthis book is to introduce the students with the elementary knowledge ofPediatrics and
to enable them to prepare for the examination. It may also be useful for internee doctors who opt to work in Pediatric
hospitals.
It is not meant to replace the standard textbooks of Pediatrics. Its topics have been carefully selected to include only
those aspects, which are either not touched upon or discussed in detail in Medicine. This has greatly helped me to limit
the volume of this book. Valuable suggestions and criticism will be greatly appreciated to this end.
Iam greatly indebted to my learned teachers, Prof. Shaukat Raza Khan, Prof. S. M. Haneef, Prof. Tariq Iqbal Bhutta,
Prof. Abdul Waheed Qureshi, and Prof. Fehmida Jaleel, who had great influence on me during my formative years. This
book reflects the salient features of the knowledge imparted to me during these years.
My gratitude is due to Dr. M. M. Zafarullah Kundi and Dr. Shukar Elahi for providing me the material and encouragement
in writing ofthis book. I am thankful to Dr. Muhammad Bakhsh Malik, for proof reading ofthis manual.
In the end, thanks are due to Mr. Karim Ullah Mazhar, for typing ofthis manuscript and Messer’s Caravan Book Center
for publishing it.

6. lam greatly indebted to students of Medical colleges and doctors working in children wards of different hospi-
tals who continue to look for a book which fulfill their partial needs and at time they have to refer to textbook
for further details. | still feel the students complain of studying such a large book for preparation of their exam
and they require a brief version. The knowledge of pediatrics is ever expanding and | have tried to limits its
volume to manageable size. For this | have curtailed many detailed explanation of different aspects and
omitted many diagrams to limit its size.
In this edition | have included the recent national statistics which were available from year 2017. In addition it
was a great pleasure to get help from Dr Athar Abdul Razzaq to review neonatal section and include ail the
recent updates available and give it a complete newer look. Similarly Dr Muhammad Imran took immense
interest in updating Nephrology section and almost completely help us rewrite the section and including ail the
recent updates and brief essential new topics. It was a great effort on his part. |am also indebted to Dr Ghazi
Khosa who spared his precious time to revise the Gastroenterology and liver diseases section. {t will be
pleasure to get his help in future edition also. | am extremely thankful to Dr Muhmmad Idrees who worked
meticulously to read the book and brought necessary changes from scrap and added almost more then fifty
paragraphs and cancel many diagrams which were unnecessary to limit the size of the book. He was also
responsible to bring all the necessary changes in this new edition. It was kind of him to spare his valuable time
from family life and medical profession. | shall be failing in my duty if | don’t mention the name of Dr Talat
Pervaiz for valuable suggestion and Dr Asif Qamar Rana to taking the responsibility to draw the diagram of
growth and development and taking the responsibility to publish the book to international standards. |
hope
they won't let me down in this endeavor.
i shall be looking forward to students and doctors for valuable suggestion and necessary ratifications of our
shortfalls. Nobody is perfect except ALLAH almighty.

¢ 1" cranial nerve (olfactory) can be examined in older
children only. If the examiner requires you to test the
sense of smell, use an odor that can be readily
identified, such as soap or clove oil.

7" cranial nerve (facial) can be tested by observing
during crying the symmetry of face, deviation of angle
of mouth to one side, obliteration of nasolabial fold
and inability to close the eyes. Also, test for taste on

Moro reflex vile:
e It is elicited by placing the infant supine upon the
examining table and allowing the head (supported by
the examiner’s hand) to drop 10-15 degrees.
e The reflex consists of abduction and extension of arms,
opening of the hands, and then adduction and flexion
of the arms as in an embrace.
e It is established after about 28 weeks of fetal life and
disappears at 4—6 months after birth.
e It is exaggerated or absent in a child with cerebral
irritability.
e It is decreased or absent in hypotonia.
e The response is asymmetrical if there is Erb’s palsy,

e With baby in supine position, this reflex is elicited by
rotating the head to one side. There is extension of the
arm and leg on the side to which the head is rotated
and there is flexion of the arm and leg on the
contralateral side.
e Normally, it persists up to 3 months of age but if it
persists beyond 6 months then there is possibility of
spastic cerebral palsy.
Placing reflex
e The baby is held vertically with the back against the
examiner; the dorsal part of one foot is moved forward
so that the dorsum of the foot touches the
undersurface of the edge of the table. The baby will
flex the knee and bring the foot up as though trying to
step on to the table.

age.
Infant is held prone by placing the hands underneath
the abdomen.
The normal response consists in slight extension of the
head, trunk and hips; and on flexion of the head there
is flexion of the trunk and hips.

number or size of cells of the body.
e It is therefore quantitative increase in the size of the
body and can be measured in terms of centimeters
and kilograms.
Bil ie
it is the quantitative, functional maturation of the
organ systems.
e it can be assessed in terms of acquisition of skills and
ability to adapt to new situations as the nervous
system matures.
e Growth and development are so closely related that
they are usually assessed simultaneously in a patient.
e Body measurements and develop-mental landmarks
provide the best and most practical means of
evaluating health of the individual.
e Knowledge of growth and development is of practical
importance in relation to a sick child.
e Diseases tend to have more impairment when they
occur during period of rapid growth.
e Marked deviation from one percentile level to another
should be regarded with suspicion. The deviation of
child’s own pattern of growth and development is
more significant than deviation from the standard
growth chart.
° Rate of growth is more important than actual size.
e A number of extrinsic and intrinsic factors influence
the rate of growth. Some of the more important
extrinsic factors are nutritional status, climate, season,
illness and activity.
e Serial measurements of growth are best indicators of
health. Measurement should be plotted to determine
the pattern of growth and to compare them with
normal standards. Graphs representing percentile
distribution are particularly useful.
MHHMWE
e Body weight is probably the best index of nutrition and
growth.
e Changes in weight occur before changes in other
aspects of growth.
° The average weight at birth is approximately 3.2 kg (7
Ibs).
e Initially newborn lose up to 10% of birth weight. It
occurs due to loss of meconium, urine, physiologic
edema, and less intake. Birth weight is usually regained
by 10°" day of age.

The increase in weight is approximately 30 g/day or
200 g/week during first 3 months and 150 g/week up
to the age of one year.
Birth weight is doubled at 5-6 months of age, tripled at
one year and four times at 2 years of age. Then there is
annual increase of 5 Ibs per year till puberty.
During puberty, there is a growth spurt and rapid
weight gain occurs.
Weigh babies naked (if there is a wet nappy, weight
will be changed significantly).
Weigh older children in only their underwear.
Make sure that the scales are properly calibrated.

HEIGHT i illiy
The average child’s length at birth is approximately SO
cm. It increases by 25 cm in the first year of life.
At 3 years of age, the average child is 3 feet (90 cm)
tall; and at 4 years, 40 inches (100 cm) tall.
Adult height is likely to be twice the height at age 2
years.
Changes in height are slower in responding to factors,
which are, detrimental to growth than the changes in
weight, i.e. height is affected in chronic disorders while
weight in even acute illnesses.
ihe
29. e Then height increases by 5 cm/year until puberty when
growth spurt occurs and height increases by 9-10
cm/year for 2-3 years.
e If a child is less than 2-year-old, then measure their
length instead of their height.
e A special piece of equipment is needed and two
trained people in order to do this properly
(infantometer).
e From 2 years onwards, child’s height is measured (not
length).

It means brain grows rapidly initially but after age one
year it slows down and increases minimally after age 5
years.
For measurement of head circumference, a tape
measure is used which is not stretchy.
Most prominent part of the occiput to the most
prominent part of the forehead is measured. Three
measurements are taken.
Record the largest of the three measurements as the
head circumference.
It is not a dependable milestone of development for
assessment of growth because eruption of teeth is
variable,
On the average first deciduous tooth erupts at 6
months of age and eruption is complete by 2.5 years
(20 teeth).
e Child’s height is measured with no shoes on. Make
sure that knees and heels are flat against the wail or
back of the measuring frame.
e A proper standing frame is used to measure the child’s
height, (stadiometer).
HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE
' |
Measurement of head circumference serves as an
estimate of brain growth.
e Itincreases rapidly during infancy.
e If brain size does not increase normally then head size
remains small.
e Occasionally, head remains small secondary to
premature union of the skull sutures, which is known
as ‘craniosynostosis’.
e lf head circumference is smail, then it should be
related to overall size and weight of the body. Smaller
babies tend to have smaller head. In preterm babies
head is proportionately larger than the overall size of
the body.
e Normally, head circumference is larger than the chest
circumference at birth. But chest circumference
increases in size to become equal to head
circumference at one year of age and is larger
thereafter.
e Shedding of deciduous or milk teeth starts at 6 years
and is complete by 12 years of age.
