A 57-year-old man presented to the emergency department complaining
of a worsening cough. The cough had been present for approximately
two weeks and was productive of green sputum. The patient had seen
his general practitioner one week earlier and taken a course of
amoxicillin for a presumed lower respiratory tract infection with
no improvement of symptoms. He was febrile, experiencing frequent
headaches and a feeling of general malaise, and had been unable to
eat solid food for the last 48 hours due to facial pain on chewing.
You have been asked to assess him and devise a management plan…
100 Diagnostic Dilemmas in Clinical Medicine presents 100 real-life
scenarios seen in the hospital and community setting. A succinct
summary of the patient's history, examination and any initial
investigations is followed by a detailed consideration of the
diagnosis and management of each case, in the short, medium and,
where appropriate, long term. Making speedy and appropriate
clinical decisions, and choosing the best course of action to take
as a result, is one of the most important and challenging parts of
training to become a doctor. These extended true-to-life cases will
teach students and junior doctors to recognize important medical
conditions and to develop their diagnostic and management skills.
Key features: Extended case studies presented in an easy-to-read
format, presenting patient history, examination, investigations and
differential diagnosis Readers are guided through the clinician's
sequence of thoughts and actions as they consider how to manage the
case appropriately in the short, medium and, if necessary, long
term Plentiful illustrations supplement the text A broad range of
conditions is covered, from acquired haemophilia to intestinal
tuberculosis
