This edition includes more than 200 newly identified syndromes and provides updated information and bibliographic references on syndromes covered in the previous edition.Coverage of each syndrome begins with the patient's complaint and then follows this basic pattern: synonyms; symptoms and signs; etiology; pathology; diagnostic procedures; therapy; prognosis; and bibliographic references. The entries in this unique reference are drawn from widely scattered data in numerous medical periodicals and textbooks. The book contains newly reported syndromes and a few seen only in highly specialized textbooks. A cross-referenced index of the numerous synonyms for each syndrome is provided.

About this title

Review

Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Home Page -- "Health sciences libraries have referred library users to this useful reference tool for years... Comparison of random entries in the third and fourth editions highlight the revisions present in the new work, including deleted and new entries, and upgraded bibliographies. Libraries and professionals working in the genetic and genetic counseling fields should consider how difficult it would be to answer questions without the availability of this reference gem." --Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Home Page
