Description

"This book is a tremendous asset for students and residents learning to develop their diagnostic skills. It can also be useful as a refresher for established clinicians when the more common diagnoses are not the cause of a patient's complaints."―Doody's Review

An engaging case-based approach to learning the diagnostic process in internal medicine, "Symptom to Diagnosis" teaches an evidence-based, step-by-step process for evaluating, diagnosing, and treating patients based on their clinical complaints. By applying this process, clinicians can recognize specific diseases and prescribe the most effective therapy.

Each chapter is structured around a common patient complaint, illustrating essential concepts and providing insights into the process of identifying the differential diagnosis. As the case unfolds, clinical reasoning is explained in detail. The differential diagnosis for each case is summarized in tables that highlight clinical clues and important tests for the leading and alternative diagnostic hypotheses. As the chapter progresses, the pertinent diseases are reviewed. The case unfolds in a stepwise fashion as tests are performed and diagnoses are confirmed or refuted.

Completely updated to reflect the latest research in clinical medicine, the fourth edition includes new algorithms, summary tables, questions that direct evaluation, and an examination of recently developed diagnostic tools and guidelines. Clinical pearls are featured in every chapter. Coverage for each disease includes: Textbook Presentation, Disease Highlights, Evidence-Based Diagnosis, and Treatment.

Changes in this edition include new algorithms and approaches in chapters on Chest Pain, Syncope, Dizziness, and others. Recently developed diagnostic tools are discussed in the chapters on Diarrhea, Jaundice, Cough and Fever, and new guidelines are included in the chapters on Screening, Diabetes, and Hypertension.
