About Disease Diagnosis

Disease diagnosis is the laboratory report of the patient not the physical examination. The medical consultant looks for the symptoms and signs of the patients and recommends the tests accordingly. Health-care professionals use symptoms and signs as clues that can help determine the most likely diagnosis when illness is present. Symptoms and signs are also used to compose a listing of the possible diagnoses. This listing is referred to as the differential diagnosis. The differential diagnosis is the basis from which initial tests are ordered to narrow the possible diagnostic options and choose initial treatments
