Signs and Symptoms in Pediatrics - Urgent and Emergent Care
By Mark A. Davis, MD, MS, Karen D. Gruskin, MD, Vincent W. Chiang, MD, and Shannon Manzi, PharmD
Approx. 688 pages, Copyright 2005
Description
Patients present with symptoms, not diagnoses. That's why this book uses a symptom-based approach to help practitioners correctly identify the conditions encountered in practice. It encourages readers to consider not only the likeliest diagnosis for a given symptom, but also its other less common, but potentially life-threatening causes. A unique ratings system indicates how commonly each symptom, sign, disease pattern, or diagnostic test result is associated with a particular diagnosis, according to the medical literature. The result is a highly efficient, evidence-based source of assistance in reaching fast, confident diagnoses.
