دانلود کتاب تشخیص مبتنی بر علائم کودکان – بیماریهای رایج و تقلید آنها

This book is intended to help the reader begin with a specific chief complaint that may be seen in many different disease entities. It is arranged in chapters that cover specific symptoms mirroring clinical practice. For example, patients do not usually present with a chief complaint of cystic fibrosis; rather, they may present with a cough, respiratory distress, or chronic diarrhea. With a user-friendly, well-tabulated, illustrated approach, this text will help the reader differentiate between the many disease states causing a common symptom. The inclusion of many original tables and figures will help the reader identify distinguishing features of diseases and work through a diagnostic approach to the symptom. Modified and borrowed figures and tables from other outstanding current sources have been added as well. The combination of these illustrations and tables with diagnostic clues within the text will help provide a quick visual guide to the differential diagnosis of the various diseases under discussion. The diagnostic approach includes standard laboratory and radiologic testing, as well as advanced imaging studies and geneticbased analysis. In addition, we have incorporated our experience with patients from our Undiagnosed and Rare Disease Program and have included uncommon disorders and those diseases that often remain undiagnosed, which may present with common symptoms. Furthermore, we discuss disease mimics or look-alike disorders as well as distinguishing features that may suggest a less common disease presenting with a common symptom. We appreciate the hard work of our contributing authors. Writing a chapter in this type of format is quite different from writing in the format of a disease-based book. In addition, we thank Sarah Barth, Jennifer Shreiner, and Kristine Feeherty of Elsevier, whose patience and expertise contributed to the publication of this book. We are all also greatly appreciative of Carolyn Redman at the Medical College of Wisconsin Department of Pediatrics, whose editorial assistance and organization have made this new edition a reality. Finally, we are ever grateful for the understanding and patience of Diane Basel, Jessica Bordini, Ryan Festerling, and Sharon Kliegman in supporting this work.
