pediatric illness
Young patient's disease
A pediatric illness is any disease or medical condition affecting infants, children, or adolescents.
The term appears in medical contexts to distinguish conditions treated by pediatricians from those handled by adult medicine: The hospital specializes in pediatric illness and childhood development.
Some illnesses are exclusively pediatric; others simply manifest differently in young patients.
