Practical Strategies in Pediatric Diagnosis and Therapy

Designed to serve as a pediatric version of Reilly's PRACTICAL STRATEGIES IN OUTPATIENT MEDICINE, this text enables the reader to make appropriate diagnoses from the clinician's perspective. By starting with the patient's chief symptom, the reader will be led to the appropriate diagnosis with proper guidance, decision analysis, use of history, physical and laboratory studies, and case examples. The book focuses both on the principles of medical decision making and specific symptom-oriented strategies, making this text an innovative and essential tool.
