Features: This book is divided into two parts. The first part covers physical examination, including general physical examination and auxiliary physical examinations. It describes the methods of examination, normal standards, abnormal signs, and their clinical significance. The second part discusses 50 symptoms, detailing the etiology, diagnostic methods, and TCM syndrome differentiation for each symptom. The etiology is elaborated on comprehensively, including not only common diseases but also rare diseases and some medical syndromes. For each disease, its clinical characteristics and diagnostic key points are briefly discussed, aiming to highlight the essentials concisely. In the diagnostic methods section, the history, physical examination, and laboratory tests are systematically described. For each symptom, TCM syndrome differentiation is discussed in conjunction with traditional Chinese medicine. With the transformation of medical models, social medicine has recently gained attention in the field of pediatrics. Therefore, this book also introduces the psychological and behavioral states of children and their diagnosis to serve as a reference for pediatricians in clinical practice.
