TY - JOUR PY - 1984// TI - Overturning the diagnosis of child abuse JO - Archives of disease in childhood A1 - Oates, R. K. SP - 665 EP - 666 VL - 59 IS - 7 N2 - Three cases, one of bullous impetigo, one of a Mongolian spot, and one of constriction of the toe by a hair, were mistakenly diagnosed as cases of child abuse. The diagnosis of child abuse is not usually simple and requires a careful evaluation of the injuries and the family if cases are not to be either overlooked or overdiagnosed.
