This book is a useful guide, a practical manual, and a valid model for anyone who takes on the responsibility, in whole or in part, of protecting newborns from diseases and treating their medical conditions, especially pediatricians, medical students, and other medical professionals such as nurses and paramedics.

The book is divided into an introduction and twelve chapters. The first chapter presents the condition of a healthy newborn, from their security systems to their energy, nutrition, and birth file information. The second chapter defines a 'sick newborn,' the immediate resuscitation and attention they require, and includes a look at the condition of a newborn whose mother has diabetes.

The subsequent chapters provide detailed explanations of various diseases that can affect a newborn and their negative side effects. The diseases covered include: respiratory distress, hyaline membrane disease, diaphragmatic hernia, meconium aspiration, treatment of apnea spells, tuberculosis, hepatitis, congenital toxoplasmosis, CMV, jaundice, esophageal atresia, intestinal obstruction, blood deficiency, urinary tract disorders, clubfoot, bruises, facial nerve palsy, sciatica paralysis, anemia, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and thrombocytopenia.
