Completely revised by new authors, this Fifth Edition presents 100
patient cases designed specifically to prepare students for clinical
vignettes on the USMLE Step 1. Each case proceeds from chief
complaint through diagnostic workup and treatment and includes
buzzwords in history taking, physical examination, laboratory tests,
imaging, and pathology. This edition's cases give greater emphasis to
pathogenesis, epidemiology, differential diagnosis, management, and
complications and include radiologic images, photographs, tables, and
algorithms. A new two-page format encourages students to read the
case presentation and formulate an initial diagnosis before turning
the page for the answer. The book ends with twenty all-new board-
format questions and answers.
