Summary
"Updated to reflect the latest diagnostic approaches, the Fourth Edition of this reference enables you to quickly and confidently reach the most common medical diagnoses. For any set of symptoms, straightforward algorithms guide you from a complete list of differential diagnoses through the appropriate clinical and laboratory tests to a definitive identification." "An organization by body system and by presenting sign - rather than by specific diagnosis - makes it easy to look up the specific guidance you need. Plus, page references to widely used medical texts make additional treatment information simple to find."--BOOK JACKET.
