The present article describes the most important surgical pathology of the infant, who sometimes requires immediate management. The authors mention the essential points for diagnosis and treatment. The main purpose of this article is to emphasize the importance this knowledge has for the pediatrician and general practitioner, who have the first contact with these patients, and in whose hands rests an opportune diagnosis and surgical management.
An analysis is made of 18 cases with congenital pyloric stenosis, attended at the Hospital General de México S.S.A. The discussion is focused toward: age, sex, clinical, laboratory data and radiological features. Literature to this respect is reviewed finding historical data, surgical techniques employed and etiological hypothesis. We conclude, that every physician who attends children must keep in mind that infants under four months of age, with a history of vomiting immediately after feeding, without biliar contents, progressive in frequency and intensity, accompanied by pyloric stenosis must be suspected. The clinical examination must be directed to finding peristalic waves and pyloric tumor. Pyloromyotomy is the treatment in all cases. The prognosis should be favorable if the diagnosis and correction are properly and promptly made.
This paper intends to present to all the medical profession, but more specifically to the Medican and Latin American medical workers and authorities, the main purposes that arm and give structure to a new concept of teaching and learning medicine called, "Integral General Medicine" (also known as "Plan A-36").

The main idea is to keep the students in close contact with the community in order to achieve the best of their knowledge, both theoretically and practically, since the very early stages of their entrance to the medical school.

This paper presents the results obtained in an epidemiological survey conducted at Unidad de Pediatría del Hospital General de México, S.S.A., in 1,009 patients, randomly selected. The routine immunization schedule, followed in Mexico during the last few years was investigated. The results are presented for every one of the vaccines, according with the age periods. Considering the group as a whole, the results are significantly low, as far as the recommended standards pretend. It is concluded that it is necessary to strengthen the vaccination program in this country, in order to avoid the possibilities of new breaks of epidemics related with this marked lack of immunization in the community.
