Most chapters also include a list of disorders not to forget -- disorders that may not be a common cause of the problem, but should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Two new chapters cover sudden infant death/apparent life threatening events and digital clubbing. Many chapters have been expanded to reflect new knowledge of the spectrum of various disorders.
