The Short Textbook of Pediatrics 13th Edition

The Short Textbook of Pediatrics, Thirteenth Edition by Suraj Gupte is a comprehensive yet concise textbook covering modern pediatrics and child health. Published by Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers, it combines established pediatric principles with recent advances relevant to clinical practice in the Indian subcontinent and other developing regions.

The book presents pediatric medicine in straightforward, clinically oriented and easy-to-understand language. Common tropical and childhood health problems—including nutritional deficiencies, diarrheal diseases, tuberculosis, parasitic infections and immunization—receive special attention.

Every chapter has been updated with extensive revisions, reorganized material and fresh content. Numerous clinical photographs, diagrams, algorithms, flowcharts, boxes and tables support understanding and rapid revision. Self-assessment MCQs and clinical problem-solving reviews at the end of chapters make the book especially valuable for university and postgraduate entrance examinations.
