Inhaltsangabe

Accurate diagnosis in paediatric medicine is essential because early detection and appropriate intervention can significantly alter the trajectory of a child’s health and development. The manifestation of symptoms in children differs from those in adults, with younger children in particular, lacking the ability to describe how they feel.

An Algorithm Approach to Pediatric Diagnosis streamlines the diagnostic process for paediatric healthcare professionals.

The book serves as a practical guide, offering clear, step-by-step algorithms that can be applied in clinical settings. These algorithms are based on the latest evidence and best practices, ensuring clinicians have a reliable resource at their fingertips when faced with the complex task of diagnosing paediatric conditions.

Organised by symptomatology, chapters cover 139 common symptoms in childhood. Each topic is structured to guide readers through a logical sequence including differential diagnosis, relevant investigations and red flag signs, which necessitate urgent attention and care.

The algorithms are designed to be user-friendly, allowing for quick reference during patient encounters in a busy outpatient setting.

In addition to its use as a clinical tool, this book will also serve as a valuable educational resource for medical students, residents and fellows, helping them master the complexities of paediatric diagnosis.
