Each chapter integrates real patient cases to make learning engaging while explaining how accurate diagnoses are reached from patient presentation. The book addresses common pitfalls in classic teaching by covering typical and atypical presentations and emphasizing test characteristics and the predictive value of symptoms, signs, and diagnostic results, helping clinicians avoid prematurely dismissing possibilities.","# SYMPTOM TO DIAGNOSIS\n\nAn Evidence-Based Guide  \nScott D.C.SternAdam S.CifuDiane Altkorn  \n1  \n# SYMPTOM\n\nTO DIAGNOSISAn Evidence-Based Guide  \nScott D.C.Stern,MD  \nAssociate Professor of MedicineCo-Director,Junior Clerkship in MedicineClinical Director of Clinical Pathophysiology and TherapeuticsUniversity of ChicagoPritzkerSchool of MedicineChicago,Illinois  \nAdam S.Cifu,MD  \nAssociate Professor of MedicineCo-Director,Junior Clerkship in MedicineUniversity of ChicagoPritzkerSchool of MedicineChicago,Ilinois  \nDiane Altkorn,MD  \nAssociate Professor of MedicineDirector,Senior Student Clerkships in MedicineUniversity of ChicagoPritzker Schoolof MedicineChicago,Illinois  \nLange Medical Books/McGraw-Hill  \nMedical Publishing Division  \nNew York St.Louis San Franciso Auckland Bogota Caracas Lisbon LondonMadrid Mexico City Milan Montreal New Delhi San JuanProperty of LIbrarySingapore Sydney Tokyo TorontoCape Fear Comm Colleg  \nWilmington,N.C.  \n# Symptom to Diagnosis:An Evidence-Based Guide\n\nCopyright O2006by The McGraw-Hill Companies,Inc.All rights reserved.Printed in the United States of America.Exceptas permited under the United States Copyright Act of 1976,no part of this publication my be reproduced or distributed inany form or by any means,or stored in a data base or retrieval system,without prior written permission of the publisher.  \n34567890 DOC/DOC 09876  \nISBN 0-07-146389-5  \nISSN 1556-2719  \nNotice  \nMedicine is an ever-changing science.As new research and clinical experience broaden our knowledge,changes intreatment and drug therapy are required.The authors and the publisher of this work have checked with sourcesbelieved to be reliable in their efforts to provide information that is complete and generally in accord with the stan-dards accepted at the time of publication.However,in view of the possibility of human error or changes in medicalsciences,neither the authors nor the publisher nor any other party who has been involved in the preparation or pub-lication of this work warrants that the information contained herein is in every respect accurate or complete,and theydisclaim all responsibility for any errors or omissions or for the results obtained from use of the information containedin this work.Readers are encourage to confirm the information contained herein with other sources.For example andin particular,readers are advised to check the product information sheet included in the package of each drug they planto administer to be certain that the information contained in this work is accurate and that changes have not beenmade in the recommended dose or in the contraindications for administration.This recommendation is of particularimportance in connection with new or infrequently used drugs  \nThis book was set in Adobe Garamond by Rainbow Graphics.The editors were Janet Foltin,Harriet Lebowitz,and Karen Davis.The production supervisor was Sherri Souffrance.The text designer was Eve Siegel.The illustrator was Keyword House.The cover designer was Aimée Nordin.  \nThe index was prepared by Andover Publishing ServicesR.R.Donnelley and Sons,Inc.was printer and binder.  \nThis book is printed on acid-free paper  \nIn memory of Kim Michele SternScott Stern  \nTo Sarah for your support and confidence,and to Amelia and Ben for yourattempts at distractionAdam Cifu  \nTo Bob,Danny,and EmilyDiane Altkorn  \nContents  \nPreface ……………………………………  \n1.
