      Pediatric primary care provides a unique opportunity to tackle child abuse and neglect. In the United States in particular, primary care is a well-established system, and most children have multiple visits, especially in the first few years. There is typically a very good relationship between parents and health professionals, who are respected experts on children. The interested pediatrician, thus, has a remarkable entrée into the workings of a family, its shortcomings, and its strengths. With some knowledge and skill, pediatricians can play a pivotal role, even in a few strategic minutes. We know, however, that some professionals feel very uncomfortable becoming involved in this unpleasant area and may be deterred from taking any action. Understandable as this may be, it can jeopardize a child’s health and safety. Hopefully, this issue of Pediatric Clinics of North America will help make this work a bit easier, albeit not easy. With training and support, pediatricians can equip themselves to be competent and more comfortable addressing child maltreatment. Aside from the possible forensic implications, the heart of this work is primarily about helping families take adequate or good care of their children. Indeed, helping address child abuse and neglect also helps promote children’s health, development, and safety, and it is central to the rich mandate of Pediatrics.

      Le praticien dispose d'un grand nombre de techniques d'imagerie et de tests de laboratoire qui lui permettent d'effectuer des examens poussés pour ses patients. Cependant, il faut resituer cet arsenal technique au sein d'une médecine globale, car tous ces moyens modernes et pointus n'ont pas diminué la proportion des erreurs médicales. Aujourd'hui encore, recueillir de façon exhaustive les antécédents et les symptômes du patient et procéder à un examen physique approfondi, sont les étapes préalables à une bonne prise en charge thérapeutique. « Partir du symptôme pour éviter l'erreur médicale », tel est le principe de cet ouvrage qui recense tous les symptômes que peut rencontrer le médecin dans sa pratique quotidienne. Ce guide pratique et complet permet de poser le bon diagnostic, prescrire le traitement adapté en réduisant le risque d'erreur, et/ou orienter le patient vers un spécialiste pour une prise en charge plus complète. Les auteurs, internistes et praticiens hospitaliers, se sont appuyés sur l'expérience d'un généraliste de terrain. Ils partent des symptômes classés par régions anatomiques du corps, détaillent les étapes de l'examen clinique et les examens complémentaires à demander, la conduite à tenir face à une anomalie de l'examen physique ou du bilan biologique de routine, et les dépistages actuellement recommandés. L'utilisation de cet ouvrage est facilitée par un index des symptômes, des maladies et des traitements. De même la thérapeutique est mise en avant pour être repérée du premier coup d'oeil. Fort du succès de la première édition et face aux évolutions permanentes de la médecine, une nouvelle édition de cet ouvrage de référence s'imposait. L'intégralité des chapitres a été revue pour prendre en compte la découverte de nouvelles pathologies (par exemple le syndrome des anti-synthétases, ou de nouvelles causes de surcharge ferrique) et les nombreux progrès thérapeutiques (essor des biothérapies, prise en charge des thrombopénies auto-immunes, nouveaux traitements anti-viraux pour le traitement des hépatites B ou C, etc.). De nombreux chapitres ont été ajoutés (neutropénie, gammapathies monoclonales, etc.).
