Pediatrics is the internal medicine of childhood. From conception until the end of somatic growth and development, already 18 years. It has its own characteristics and distinct from the adult medicine, both in terms of biology (physiology, pathogenesis, etc..) as to clinical practice (The interviewers are mainly the parents, the signs and symptoms are less apparent or age-specific ) and social issues (pediatric ecology). It is therefore a distinct and specific way to understant the patient, the disease and how to provide health care and applying preventive medicine.
