Abstract
The care of children and adolescents with chronic medical conditions is an area of great interest for primary care physicians. With longer lives and more "mainstreaming" of care, the primary care physician often finds an increased role in the management of children and adolescents with chronic conditions such as mental retardation, Down syndrome, and diabetes mellitus. This article discusses familiarity with the most common chronic conditions and common pitfalls of management.
