| Summary |
"The Atlas of Clinical Diagnosis presents a sign-orientated approach to the diagnosis of both common and rare medical discovers that physicians may encounter, whether in hospital or in the community. The comprehensive collection of clinical pictures, organized by anatomical region from scalp to sole, reflects actual clinical practice where a diagnosis has to be constructed from a single sign or a collection of signs. Fundamental, pathognomonic and commonly seen non-specific clinical signs are presented, with critical features highlighted for rapid recognition and interpretation. In addition, the book provides guidance on appropriate bedside clinical tests for establishing diagnoses."--BOOK JACKET |
