  When a patient presents to a clinician, it is vitally important for the doctor to be able to differentiate quickly and correctly between the various diseases to which the presenting symptoms may be attributed. This book provides the reader with invaluable assistance in this diagnostic process. Arranged alphabetically, and based upon presenting symptoms, the text takes the reader through a step-by-step approach to that presentation, culminating in a description of the different diagnoses that it might represent. Symptoms and signs are illustrated in full colour, and the potential diagnoses are listed in order of importance. The book also contains a series of useful appendices, including definitions, reference ranges, lab values, tumour staging and obstetric measurements, amongst others.Differential Diagnosis in Obstetrics and Gynaecology is an invaluable ready-reference guide and revision aid for the student and trainee, and will also be of value to GPs, A&E personnel, gynaecology nurses and midwives.
