Frequently born before the arrival of the midwife, Asian children are relatively more often seen in the special care baby unit, in the medical paediatric wards, the burns unit, and at paediatric outpatient clinics from which they more often default than other children. More cases of tuberculosis and rickets have been noted among them. On the other hand, Asian children rarely require an exchange transfusion on account of rhesus incompatibility and are infrequently subjected to tonsillectomy. Their presence in the community undoubtedly increases the paediatrician's work but adds variety and interest to the daily routine and requires the fullest co-operation of the paediatrician with all other persons responsible for child health.
亚洲儿童常常在助产士到来之前就出生了，他们相对更常在特殊护理婴儿病房、儿科医学病房、烧伤病房以及儿科门诊被见到，而且他们比其他儿童更常从这些地方失访。在他们当中发现了更多的结核病和佝偻病病例。另一方面，亚洲儿童因恒河猴血型不相容而需要换血治疗的情况很少，也很少接受扁桃体切除术。他们在社区中的存在无疑增加了儿科医生的工作量，但也为日常工作增添了多样性和趣味性，并且需要儿科医生与所有其他负责儿童健康的人员全力合作。
