The contents of the course will focus on the various developmental stages of the child: neonate, toddler, child and adolescent. Starting from the physiology, we will touch the various pathologic conditions that interest general pediatrics, as well as the different pediatric specialistic branches (allergology, infectious diseases, cardiology, rheumatology, gastroenterology, pneumology, heamatology-oncology, ER etc). In fact, Pediatrics is considered the Internal medicine of the child, although we should always keep in mind that the child is not “an adult in miniature” but a distinct and autonomous entity both in terms of physiology and physiopathology.
