La pediatría se ha visto notablemente enriquecida ante el potente desarrollo de sus distintas especialidades, aportando un enorme caudal de conocimientos, mejor atención y calidad de vida a los niños y, sin duda, un beneficio prevenible para la poblacion adulta, lo que se ha llegado a denominar geriatria pediatrica. Entre las especialidades pediatricas que han adquirido mayor desarrollo, se encuentra la Gastroenterologia. El Prof. Arguelles aborda una serie de problemas que con frecuencia se presentan en la consulta diaria del pediatra, con repuestas practicas a problematicas usuales como la halitosis, la disquecia, proctalgia, aftas recidivantes, el hipo o las nauseas, por ejemplo; con abundante iconografia y esquemas para facilitar la comprension y asimilacion de la materia expuesta. La presente edicion aporta una actualizacion tematica y da pautas para la elaboracion de un juicio clinico adecuado previo a los examenes complementarios, imprescindible para optimizar la atencion al niño enfermo y establecer el uso adecuado de los recursos sanitarios. En los diferentes capitulos se resalta todo aquello que debe evitarse ante el manejo de los diferentes procesos, aportando normas de derivacion al especialista y criterios de hospitalizacion. Esta obra constituye una herramienta de utilidad tanto para el especialista como para el pediatra de atencion primaria. El prestigio y reconocimiento profesional del editor le ha permitido contar con un excelente equipo de colaboradores dentro de los que se dedican a la gastroenterologia pediatrica.
