Review
"I would be very happy if my medical studetns read this book before an attachment! I think this format is excellent...it encourages the students to think clearly about real patients and not just learn facts in isolation." – Honorary Leturer, University of Leeds
"This book covers a very wide range of material, from neonatal medicine in the sick preterm infant to the teenager who has taken an averdose. It contains a large number of cases which are all relevent to medical student learning...each case study gives details of relevent questions to ask in the history, examination findings and management plans...an excellent resource for final exam revision." – MSc Student, University of Liverpool Medical School
"Fantastic. Very impressed and very easy to read...relevent cases and good layout." – Final Year Student, Warwick Medical School
Product Description
Rehearse for life in clinical practice with this easy–to–use and unique series, which combines cases drawn from real–life experiences with a refreshing approach to presentations as you would see them in day–to–day situations.
Get the most from clinical practice, with Clinical Cases Uncovered
Guiding you through paediatrics, Clinical Cases Uncovered presents real–life problems which you can work through and improve on time and again. Each case looks at a different child, from premature infant to teenager, with acute or long–term problems. Presentations reflect common primary care and hospital–based practice and will give you a detailed insight into how children with a wide variety of problems can be assessed and managed.
The first section covers essential paediatric basics, then looks at common disorders and useful pointers. There is a section on practical assessment of children, helping you adapt your skills for the age of the child and the presenting problem. The helpful self–assessment section then lets you test all you have learnt and makes for great revision.

The first section of the book provides an easy to read yet comprehensive account of development from birth through to puberty, childhood infections, immunisations, nutrition and genetics, with a number of helpful tables for quick and easy reference. There is also a very practical section on history taking and examination. One of the particular highlights of this section is a section, which lists common symptoms, possible diagnoses and important "not to miss" points - an easy list that's easy to remember and invaluable when a bit flummoxed on the ward/infront of your examiner!
The rest of the book is split up into 32 cases - from the tiny baby to the teenager who has taken an overdose. I was really impressed with the amount of information in these sections - after reading through a case you really feel like you have a good grip on a range of conditions. The book also has a very "practical" slant - in a case with a boy with autism it discusses a relative worried about the MMR, and in "the boy with fits" a simple flow chart for managing seizures in children. Each case requires you to think of a differential, key points of history and examination, reviewing differentials, further investigations, diagnosis and management. This active approach to learning holds your attention, and clearly highlights how well you know the topic, and the book clearly outlines a "best answer", with a helpful case review at the end. The book also has a useful MCQ/EMQ section for exam practice.
I was really impressed by this book. I had been somewhat sceptical that a "case based" book would be interesting to read, but a bit low on information and would need to be supplemented with a textbook. However, this book manages to combine textbook level information into interesting cases, which helps you to "pigeonhole" information for recall later- "oh yes, I remember that boy with autism...."
Highly recommended.
Really easy to read book, seems to cover most of the key points and is succinct and written in an engaging way.
Highly recommended!
I feel I can almost read it cover to cover.. unheard of for a medical text book.
This book is essentially for med students preparing for exams in pediatrics and I would suggest this book would be an excellent aid for revision.
