Pulmonary diseases in childhood.

Many types of lung disease are seen in the pediatric age group. 
These range all the way from disorders of the neonate that 
are closely related to parturition, to acute infectious diseases seen in 
infancy and early childhood, to chronic disorders such as cystic fibrosis 
and bronchial asthma. Management of the conditions described involves cooperation between 
the primary care physician and the specialist. A variety of organizations 
offers aid to both physicians and patients' families.
