Then, each vignette is followed by the diagnosis—and competing diagnoses—along with explanations of why the patterns fit for the correct diagnosis. 

Guiding principles provide important information (such as which diagnoses are common, which are rare, which are acute, which are chronic, etc.) to enhance the way you think about each symptomEach vignette contains classic history/physical exam and lab/test findings that would be observed in a typical presentation of the disease.
