New edition of the long-established guide to diagnosis, covering the whole spectrum of medicine
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.
