Product Description
The Oxford Handbook of Clinical Diagnosis helps the reader to interpret symptoms, physical signs and initial test results and to allow students (or doctors not familiar with all aspects of medicine) to arrive at diagnoses logically and to explain their reasoning confidently. The book starts with a review of the techniques of history taking and examination, with hints on how to interpret the information and practical advice on the diagnostic process. The bulk of the book is divided by body system and describes the findings that can emerge at each stage of the assessment process. The main differential diagnoses of significant findings are given as a starting point for the diagnostic reasoning process. With each diagnosis is listed the findings which suggests that the diagnosis might be present and the evidence which confirms the diagnosis. This unique book concentrates entirely on the diagnosis, referring readers to the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine and Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialties for management information. It will also train readers to describe the diagnosis and reasoning behind it to a patient, relative, peer, or senior colleague.

needs a new edition November 17, 2008
Most of the Oxford Handbooks are very good. This one needs to be reworked. The idea is good but it doesn't deliver. It is really Organ system and disease oriented not symptom and finding oriented. There is some of both but it looks like someone went through an Internal medicine text and copied down DD lists for various diseases.
For instance; where is Fever?
"Mankind has three great scourges, War, Famine and Fever of these the worst is fever" Osler approximate quote.
There is no heading in this handbook on fever and its' causes and how to evaluate. There is no dermatology section. It is possible to describe skin lesions with words and use them to find the picture. It might be useful if the authors added a derm sectin in the next editon.
