Abstract:

Nelson Pediatric Symptom-Based Diagnosis: Common Diseases and Their Mimics", edited by Robert M. Kliegman and Heather Toth, is a comprehensive reference designed to assist healthcare providers in diagnosing pediatric conditions based on presenting symptoms. The book organizes common pediatric diseases by symptom type, helping clinicians consider differential diagnoses and identify potential mimics—conditions that may appear similar but require different treatment. It emphasizes a systematic approach to diagnosis, considering both common and rare diseases, and provides detailed guidance on distinguishing between conditions with overlapping clinical presentations. With updated content, this resource covers a wide range of pediatric issues, from infectious diseases and respiratory conditions to gastrointestinal, neurological, and dermatologic disorders. It serves as an invaluable tool for pediatricians, residents, and other healthcare professionals, offering concise, evidence-based insights into diagnosis and management.
