Publisher's Synopsis
For over four decades, Achar's Textbook of Pediatrics has educated, instructed and inspired students. Successive editions have made the textbook more current and relevant without deviating from the original character of the book. The fifth edition, in full- colour, continues the tradition with thoroughly revised content and the inclusion of newer and emerging problems in pediatrics. An emphasis on a clinical approach has been adopted in keeping with the requirements of the competency-based medical education curriculum.
