Good history taking and physical examination skills are vital for accurate clinical diagnosis.

The Link: Pediatric History Taking & Physical Examination guides practitioners in making provisional and definitive diagnoses by analytical thinking. This concise and clearly structured book is divided into 5 sections.

The rationale behind taking a child's history is examined first, along with the various types of history that it may be necessary to take.

This section includes discussion on pregnancy, delivery, neonatal, breastfeeding and vaccination histories.

The book then addresses the approach to, and practicalities of a physical examination.

The third section is devoted to the Newborn, whilst the fourth addresses differential and provisional diagnosis through case studies.

The concluding section concerns the importance of factual knowledge in history taking and physical examination.
