Symptom to Diagnosis

Symptom to Diagnosis: An Evidence Based Guide, 4th Edition, is a textbook designed to teach clinical reasoning within internal medicine. The text outlines an evidence-based, stepwise method to evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients based on their presenting complaints.

Each chapter centers on a common patient complaint to demonstrate diagnostic principles and differential diagnosis. As clinical cases unfold, the text explains the underlying reasoning and provides summary tables that detail diagnostic clues and important tests for leading and alternative hypotheses.

Selected as a Doody's Core Title for 2023, the book supports students and residents practicing diagnostic evaluation while serving as a review for clinicians when common conditions do not explain patient complaints.
