THE LITTLE BOOK OF CAUSES 2ND EDITION

This booklet contains compilation of about 500 lists of causes related to symptoms, signs, diagnoses and common investigation findings. For any medical practitioner, knowing these causes is of paramount importance during daily practice, as it allows the practitioner to formulate a list of differential diagnoses and derive a plan of investigation to arrive at the final diagnosis. For medical students and postgraduate students, the causes are the most commonly asked questions in exams whether they are written or clinical examinations. So, knowing the causes in medicine can be equated to knowing ABC in English communication. < In this second edition, the lists of causes have been extensively updated in line with the recent advances and discoveries. This booklet will be useful for any learners or practitioners of medicine, who may include medical students, house officers, medical officers, general practitioners, MRCP candidates or even paramedical staff.
