Overview

[Disease name] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], [clinical feature 2], and [clinical feature 3], such as [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].

OR

[Disease name] must be differentiated from [[differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].

Differentiating [Disease name] from other Diseases

[Disease name] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], [clinical feature 2], and [clinical feature 3], such as [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].

OR

[Disease name] must be differentiated from [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].

OR

As [disease name] manifests in a variety of clinical forms, differentiation must be established in accordance with the particular subtype. [Subtype name 1] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], such as [differential dx1] and [differential dx2]. In contrast, [subtype name 2] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 2], such as [differential dx3] and [differential dx4].

Differentiating [disease name] from other diseases on the basis of [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]

On the basis [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3], [disease name] must be differentiated from [disease 1], [disease 2], [disease 3], [disease 4], [disease 5], and [disease 6].

• Chronic inflammatory skin diseases
  • Contact (allergic, irritant)
  • Seborrhoeic dermatitis
    • onset during the 1st days or weeks of life, absence of pruritus, and presence of greasy scaling on a yellow-red base
    • Involvement of the top of the scalp (cradle cap), axilla, and diaper area makes it more likely the patient has seborrheic dermatitis, vs excoriated dermatitis involving the extensor surfaces, face, and trunk favour AE.
  • Psoriasis
  • Lichen simplex chronicus
• Infectious agents
  • Candida
  • Dermatophytes
  • Herpes simplex
