100 Plus Diseases for the MRCP Part 2

This fully updated second edition builds on the success of the first book, basing the revision material around diseases rather than questions. It provides MRCP candidates with a systematic and succinct summary of the signs, symptoms, differential diagnoses and investigation results for over 100 of the most common diseases that come up regularly in Part 2 of the MRCP exam. There are also over 160 sample questions and answers to help candidates experience a 'mock' exam and test their knowledge.

. Each disease includes 'question spotting' - tips for candidates on what questions might come up in the exam for that condition

. Identifies and highlights unusual presentations of common diseases - to help candidates avoid commonly made errors of judgment

. All questions written in the style of the new MRCP exam (best of 5 format)

. Increased number of common diseases covered - providing comprehensive coverage of all diseases likely to come up in the MRCP exam.

. New pictures - including radiographs, ECGs and occasional graphs and histology slides - all of which are now commonly found in the MRCP exam.

. Question-and-answer section substantially revised: each topic has two sample questions; each question consists of a clinical vignette, a question, and 5 possible answers.

. Answers to the questions given, along with explanation and a reference back to relevant topics.
