DISEASES / CONDITIONS

The list of the possible diseases/conditions is given because the second year medical students are beginners in the art of clinical problem solving. Thirteen of the diagnoses are relevant to the presented thirteen virtual patients. The rest suggest what future clinical cases will be created.

Your task is to make the correct diagnosis for every particular case you are solving.
If you are not sure, this list can help you to narrow down the choices.
