Therefore, it will not simply repeat such information, but may display external links to further information.

This resource also assumes that you will '''ask''' a colleague for advise if you see an unfamiliar presentation, and any literature lookup thereof still does not explain it. Therefore, this resource will focus on the most common presentations and the main differential diagnoses thereof, which may include rare conditions if for example the clinical management thereof would be significantly different. On the other hand, most rare conditions that generally have distinct presentations will be omitted. Therefore, keep in mind that there are many such rare conditions that you do not know about, so keep asking colleagues whenever a presentation remains strange to you.
