About the Book
Featuring 500 full-color clinical photographs, succinct clinical pearls, and detailed differential diagnosis tables, this atlas is a visual guide to the rapid and accurate diagnosis of pediatric problems. The book will greatly assist busy practitioners in recognizing disease entities and distinguishing among entities that appear similar. Organized by anatomic site, the book covers 73 presenting problems. Each chapter includes bulleted clinical pearls on the history and physical examination. A differential diagnosis table lists all common diagnoses with ICD-9 codes and the distinguishing characteristics for each diagnosis. Clinical photographs of each entity are then shown, including ethnic variations where relevant.
