9780443036774: Tutorials in Paediatric Differential Diagnosis

Synopsis

This reference work has been designed to provide undergraduate and postgraduate students involved in child care with a logical approach to interpreting symptoms, rather than a formal review of disease entitities. Each section, chosen for its importance in clinical paediatrics, presents the important physiological principles underlying symptoms and discusses those areas which are often confused by students. Clinical features are then analyzed to formulate an appropriate differential diagnosis and investigations are suggested to help establish a final diagnosis. A case history, with relevant questions, is presented at the end of each chapter and the process of diagnosis for each case is outlined. These problems should be useful to examination candidates and others who are reading to improve their understanding of each topic.

Présentation de l'éditeur

A symptom- or problem-based approach to differential diagnosis in paediatrics, with each symptom being described according to epidemiology, physiological principles underlying the symptoms, history, examination, investigations and a case study. A short summary box on management will be included, but the emphasis will be on the process of making a diagnosis.
The new edition will be much more attractively presented, with the use of a second colour in the text, more illustrations, and a more comprehensive and extensive collection of symptoms. Community aspects will be considered throughout.
