Synopsis

When a patient presents to a clinician, it is vitally important for that doctor to be able to differentiate quickly and correctly between the various diseases to which the presenting symptoms may be attributed. For nearly a century, French's Index of Differential Diagnosis has been unparalleled in providing the clinician with invaluable assistance in this regard. Arranged alphabetically, and based upon presenting symptoms, the text takes the reader through a step-by-step approach to that presentation, culminating in a description of the different diagnoses that it might represent. Where instrumental in aiding a correct diagnosis, full colour illustrations of the highest quality have been included.
The fifteenth edition of French's Index of Differential Diagnosis offers a succinct and well-illustrated aide-memoire that will be indispensable to trainee and established doctors in both general and hospital practice, and an invaluable reference for medical students.

About this title

From the Publisher

The earliest possible diagnosis of a patient's disease is desirable, and it is important for the physician to be able to differentiate between the various diseases to which the presenting symptoms may be due. In this respect, French's Index has no parallel. Arranged alphabetically and based on the symptoms with which patients present to the physician, it offers a succinct and well-illustrated aide-memoire which will be invaluable to the undergraduate in the clinical years and to trainee and established doctors in general and hospital practice. Completely revised, with new editors, new contributors and new illustrations, French's Index is as essential for today's doctors as it has been for those of previous generations.
