AB  - This textbook of pediatrics written in Spanish by 112 Latin American specialists is intended for the Latin American medical student and the physician who treats children in his daily practice. It is the first multi-authored pediatrics textbook by Latin Americans and, thus, represents a pioneering effort. It is presented in two volumes with a total of almost 1,600 pages. There are many excellent figures, tables, and, in general, it makes easy reading. Unfortunately, both volumes are numbered starting from page 1 and, as there is a separate index for each one, this leads to confusion. The first 120 pages analyze various aspects of pediatrics peculiar to Latin America, maternal and child health care, and the teaching of pediatrics.
