Clinical Case Studies in Pediatrics

By adopting the approach of simulating actual morning report sessions experienced by hospital doctors, Clinical Case Studies in Pediatrics provides a compendium of commonly seen types of pediatrics cases that require hospital admission. Each case study is presented by description of indication of admission to the hospital, the physical examination and laboratory test results, followed by a differential diagnosis, discussion of the differential diagnosis, and finally an in-depth discussion of the actual diagnosis. Study and review questions, which will help medical students or pediatricians-in-training to apply their knowledge, are also included. This book will not only be useful to medical students, it can also be a handy reference for pediatricians and doctors-in-training.
