medical care for infants, children, and
adolescents. It has emerged into different
branches like pediatric oncology, pediatric
immunology, pediatric cardiology, pediatric

surgical problem which is quite different from
those commonly seen by adult or general
surgeons. Pediatricians can play an important
role in coordinating and focusing new and
existing services to realize maximum benefit for
all children. Childhood and adolescence when the

PEDIATRIC IMMUNOLOGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES
Infectious diseases and immunology go hand in
hand. A poor immune system leads to more
susceptibility towards infectious diseases like
sinusitis, pneumonia, abscesses etc. The bacteria
normally live on the skin, eyelids, nose, and
mouth and in the gut. These bacteria are called
normal flora. The normal bacteria in our mouths
protect us by decreasing the chance that we will
become infected with harmful bacteria and fungi
but the normal balance of bacteria can be upset
by antibiotics and some illnesses.

CHILD NUTRITION AND DEVELOPMENT
Adequate nutrition is one of the important factor
influencing growth immunity. A gap in intake
of macro and micro nutrients can put a child
into the vicious cycle that takes its toll on
growth. This vicious cycle starts with
inadequate nutrition and it may lead to infection
impaired immunity. It is Surprise you that
70-80 of your immune cells are located in the
digestive system. The different nutrients such as
ALA,LA, Iron, Choline, Iodine can help give them
a healthy start as their brain continues to
develop. We can get ALA from foods like
flaxseed,soyabean and chickpeas because body
body does not produce enough ALA which is an
essential fatty acid kids need to consume it in
the diet to meet the bodys needs.
