Abstract

Every physician meeting with children should be aware of the most common types of injury and situations causing concern associated with child abuse. When encountering a child who has been or suspected to have been abused, even the physician may get anxious and uncertain about what he/she should be able to do. It is worth remembering that at the beginning the best way a doctor can help the child is to take care of the basic aspects of her/his work: careful clinical examination, appropriate medical record entries and prompt reports to the authorities.
