Description
Differential Diagnosis in Internal Medicine: From Symptom to Diagnosis
The present book, Differential Diagnosis in Internal Medicine, first appeared as a German edition
in 1952 and since then has been translated into 10 other languages. Over the past 50 years 19 Ger-
man editions have been published, and now the 19th edition of the work, which has become the
classic differential diagnosis textbook, is available in English for the first time.
This book encompasses differential diagnosis across the spectrum of internal medicine, covering
dermatology, neurology, and rheumatology, and provides the very latest knowledge including
pathophysiological aspects. In contrast to ency- clopedically structured textbooks, this book
traces the path from symptom to diagnosis, just as the physician encounters the situation in the
hospital and in the office.
