Description

There are several conditions and diseases that are unique to children. During development, children are also more prone to certain diseases (e.g., otitis media, hyperbilirubinemia) that are less common in the average adult. Some disorders, although present throughout an individual's lifetime, are generally diagnosed during the childhood years. Examples of these conditions are asthma and attention deficit disorder (ADD).
