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

Each chapter centers around a real-world patient complaint, walking you through the essential steps of clinical reasoning. The unique format begins with a presenting symptom, explores the differential diagnosis (DDx), and guides you toward the correct diagnosis using key clinical clues and diagnostic tests.

The content is organized into easy-to-follow sections that include:

• Clinical Presentation: Textbook signs and symptoms of each disease
• Disease Highlights: Core facts you must know
• Evidence-Based Diagnosis: Latest research supporting diagnostic choices
• Treatment: Best-practice therapeutic approaches

Chapters feature detailed tables summarizing differential diagnoses, highlighting leading hypotheses, alternative explanations, and the most relevant diagnostic tests. Cases unfold progressively, mirroring real-life clinical decision-making, reinforcing how to interpret test results and refine your diagnostic thinking.

The fourth edition has been fully updated with new algorithms, expanded coverage of emerging diagnostic tools, and revised guidelines across key areas including:

• Chest Pain
• Syncope
• Dizziness
• Diarrhea
• Jaundice
• Cough and Fever
• Screening Guidelines
• Diabetes
• Hypertension

Clinical pearls are integrated throughout to reinforce learning and retention. Ideal for both exam preparation and clinical practice, this resource builds confidence in diagnosing complex cases where standard answers don't apply.
