Pediatric Signs and Symptoms

Featuring a uniquely visual two-page-spread design that is great for rapid reference or review, In a Page Pediatrics, Second Edition provides a quick overview of the diseases, symptoms, and injuries most commonly seen in children. Each disease is presented on a two-page spread in boxes with consistent headings: introduction; etiology, epidemiology, and risk factors; patient presentation; differential diagnosis; diagnostic evaluation; treatment and management; and prognosis and complications. Bulleted key points appear under each heading. This edition features expanded differential diagnosis sections, an appendix of common symptoms and differential diagnosis, and more coverage of pharmacologic treatment. This pocket-sized book is ideal for interns, medical students in clerkships, or USMLE review. It will also appeal to physician assistant and nurse practitioner students. (Publisher's Description).
