    AbstractBecause physicians are often the first professionals to have contact with a sexually abused child, they must be alert to the symptoms and prepared to respond knowledgeably. Early and effective intervention affects the overall prognosis for the child and family positively. As physicians become aware of child sexual abuse, protocols can be used routinely as part of a child's medical care. Regular checks on potentially abusive situations can prevent the tragic and traumatic occurrence of child sexual abuse.
