With 50 carefully selected pediatric problems that are likely to be encountered in medical practice, each chapter is written in a user-friendly style and takes you through the fundamental thought process needed to arrive at the most likely diagnosis. This thought process includes:

• Understanding the correct definition of the clinical problem

• Recognizing the symptoms of the clinical problem

• Analyzing the pathophysiology behind the problem

• Creating a prioritized list of differential diagnosis

• Having a robust clinical approach/algorithm that enables one to arrive at the correct diagnosis

• Evaluating for red flag signs and symptoms

• Honing the thought process through the use of over 50 clinical case scenarios with structured self-reflection questions and answers
