Descripción

Patients don’t present with a disease; they present with symptoms. Using a practical, symptom-based organization, Nelson Pediatric Symptom-Based Diagnosis: Common Diseases and their Mimics, 2nd Edition, offers authoritative guidance on differential diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders in children and adolescents, and covers the symptoms you’re likely to see in practice, their mimics, and uncommon disorders. Drs. Robert M. Kliegman, Heather Toth, Brett J. Bordini, and Donald Basel walk you through what to consider and how to proceed when faced with common symptoms such as cough, fever, headache, autistic-like behaviors, chronic pain, chest pain, gait disturbances, and much more.

Puntos claves

  • Begins with a presenting symptom and leads you through differential diagnosis and a concise review of treatment recommendations.

  • Contains more than a dozen new topics including Disease Mimics: An Approach to Undiagnosed Diseases, Autistic-like Behaviors, Shock, Hypertension, Neurocognitive and Developmental Regression, Chronic Pain, Hypertonicity, Movement Disorders, Hypermobility, and more.

  • Features a new focus on symptoms of rarer diseases that are mimics of more common diseases.

Reseñas

"This second edition book is an update to the first edition, which was published in 2017. It is organized into 12 systems-based sections that include chapters on different symptoms common within that system. For example, a section on cardiac disorders includes chapters on syncope and dizziness, chest pain, murmurs, shock, and hypertension. The included online ebook is easy to navigate and helpful to reference, given that the print book is rather heavy." ©Doody’s Review Service, 2023, Whitney W Rowe, Doctor of Medicine (University of Kansas School of Medicine - Wichita)
