9780443071003: Tutorials in Paediatric Differential Diagnosis

Synopsis

A symptom- or problem-based approach to differential diagnosis in paediatrics, with each symptom being described according to epidemiology, physiological principles underlying the symptoms, history, examination, investigations and a case study.
