[Adolescents in pediatric practice (author's transl)].

Some problems concerning adolescents arising in pediatric practice are reviewed: morphological problems (stature, nutrition, vertebral statics), puberty problems (delayed puberty, acne vulgaris, menstrual disorders, contraception, mammary development), health problems proper (especially epilepsy) and, lastly, problems related to environment: school, family, media. The pediatrician seems to be the doctor most qualified to approach adolescent just as he is for children.
