DESCRIPTION
This text offers students, residents, and practitioners
a systematic 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—and shows readers how to
use their basic science knowledge to identify the
possible causes of each symptom. The text provides
information on the procedures and laboratory tests
that need to be included in the workup.
