From the Grimm Brothers to Charles Dickens, from Gulliver's Travels to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, great writers and stories have been a source for names of paediatric medical conditions, sometimes preceding the medical description by many years. This article describes the circumstances that led to the creation of some of these fascinating names, the physicians who coined them, and their link to the actual medical conditions.
Literary names for medical conditions add warmth and humanity to the field of paediatrics.
从格林兄弟到查尔斯·狄更斯，从《格列佛游记》到《爱丽丝梦游仙境》，伟大的作家和故事一直是儿科病症名称的来源，有时比医学描述早很多年。本文描述了促成其中一些迷人名称产生的情况、创造这些名称的医生以及它们与实际病症的联系。
医学病症的文学名称为儿科学领域增添了温暖和人文关怀。
