This practical handbook uses a symptom-based approach to paediatric differential diagnosis. For each symptom, the book describes its epidemiology, the physiological principles underlying the symptom, history, examination, and investigation, and features a summary management box and a case study. The 2nd Edition features a much more extensive collection of symptoms—nearly twice as many as the first edition. It also discusses the community aspects of paediatric conditions. A new 2-color format and many new illustrations enhance the text.
