Visual Diagnosis and Treatment in Pediatrics

by Esther K. Chung, Lee R. Atkinson-McEvoy, Naline L. Lai, Michelle Terry

Overview

Visual Diagnosis and Treatment in Pediatrics is organized by presenting symptom - "scalp swelling," "lumps on face" - and present a table of differential diagnoses, with corresponding images placed side by side for comparison. It's an incredibly user friendly, easy-to-read format, and provides physicians a way to approach their patients, rather than presenting them paragraphs of dense clinical information.

Features:Each chapter presents an organized approach to the problem, key points in obtaining the history, and physical examination.
