Nelson Pediatric Symptom-Based Diagnosis: Common Diseases and their Mimics

"This second edition book is an update to the first edition, which was published in 2017. It is organized into 12 systems-based sections that include chapters on different symptoms common within that system. For example, a section on cardiac disorders includes chapters on syncope and dizziness, chest pain, murmurs, shock, and hypertension. The included online ebook is easy to navigate and helpful to reference, given that the print book is rather heavy." ©Doody's Review Service, 2023, Whitney W Rowe, Doctor of Medicine (University of Kansas School of Medicine - Wichita)
