Pediatrics attends to the behavior, development and growth of children, in health or disease conditions, from birth to adolescence. This specialty, which focuses on childhood, is divided into several periods:
- Newborn (first month of life)
- Lactating (1-24 months of life)
- Preschool (2-6 years old)
- School (6-12 years old)
- Teen (12-18 years old)

Diseases that affect children have different characteristics than adults. Some are typical of those ages and others, when attacking organisms in full development, affect the other stages of life in a different way.
