Pediatric Pathology and infant child

Soriba Naby Camara

Abstract

While certain adult-affecting disorders still affect children, pediatric medicine contains other diseases present primarily in patients under the age of 18. Congenital anomalies are one group of conditions which involve the infant population. When discussing congenital anomalies several terms are important to remember. A malformation caused by an underlying genetic defect is a congenital disorder. An interruption happens when another mechanism secondarily affects an ordinarily evolving organ.
