Paediatric Symptom and Sign Sorter

Paediatric Symptom Sorter is a practical, front-line reference designed to help clinicians rapidly assess and manage pediatric patients presenting with symptoms rather than established diagnoses. Inspired by the widely respected Symptom Sorter, this book organizes pediatric complaints anatomically, guiding the clinician through likely differential diagnoses, investigations, and practical tips for evaluation and management. It is intended for pediatricians, postgraduate doctors, primary care physicians, and nurses, as well as students and newly trained clinicians, providing an essential resource for emergency and inpatient pediatric care.

Key Features:

• Anatomically structured symptom-based approach, reflecting how patients present in real clinical practice.
• Each symptom is accompanied by the five most likely differential diagnoses.
• Clear guidance on investigative techniques, from simple and cost-effective tests to more advanced procedures.
• Practical tips, warnings, and clinical pearls to support safe and efficient patient care.
• Designed as a quick-reference resource for on-call rooms, emergency departments, and pediatric wards.
• Serves as both a refresher for experienced clinicians and an essential primer for trainees and students.
