Wheezing -- Appendix A -- The Laboratory Workup of Disease -- Appendix B -- Answers to Questions from Case Presentations |
| Summary |
"This text offers students, residents, and practitioners an approach to differential diagnosis of symptoms and signs seen by primary care physicians. The text is organized by symptoms and signs and into categories - pain, mass, bloody discharge, non-bloody discharge, functional changes and abnormal laboratory results. It shows readers how to use their basic science knowledge to identify the possible causes of each symptom, and then describes the procedures and laboratory tests that need to be included in the workup." "There are over 200 two-color drawings that help readers visualize relevant anatomy, an appendix that describes the laboratory workup of various diseases, and numerous tables that organize and structure the differential diagnosis."--BOOK JACKET |
