| 17th – 18th centuries | "Among the increasing number of authors who wrote about diseases in children during the 17th and 18th centuries, 2 deserve mention. Thomas Sydenham (1624–1689), the English Hippocrates, wrote on scarlet fever, measles, smallpox, epilepsy, rickets, teething fever, scorbutus (scurvy), and the chorea we know as St. Vitus Dance. Edward Jenner (1749–1823) inoculated an 8-year-old boy with cowpox matter into one arm and 6 weeks later inoculated smallpox matter into the other arm (Figure (Figure11). The boy did not get smallpox, heralding one of the greatest medical benefits of all time: the prevention of disease by immunization"[1] |
| 20th century | In the 1970s, an increasing number of collaborative arrangements for both training and research between pediatricians and psychologists is noted.[2] |
