The Journal Indian Pediatrics regularly publishes guidelines and recommendations formulated by chapters, groups and committees of Indian Academy of Pediatrics and other national bodies, in addition to the topical reviews by subject experts. These form an important source of information and guidance to the practitioner for day-to-day management of pediatric problems, and also provide detailed information on important topics to the postgraduate students. This handy book makes the carefully selected material available at one place for ready referral. The first edition of a collection of such material, published in 2011, was extremely popular and the massive response underlined the need for such a compendium. This has encouraged the editors to undertake this endeavor in bringing out the second edition of the book. The two-color format and the excellent production standards enhance its value to the readers. The Editors Choice underlines the fact that articles on most relevant and crucial issues have been presented after a careful and thoughtful selection. The contents have been divided into two sections: Guidelines and Recommendations and Reviews and Updates.
