Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

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.

Críticas

It covers a lot of ground: being symptoms based, chapter titles range from the vague...to the more specific. What I like is that at the end of each chapter there is a real-life clinical case which is posed as a PBL-like scenario with questions and discussions. It gives you a chance to go through the process of coming up with the possible differentials and you can check if you're right. It contains a lot of information...it is worth a read.
