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 tabes dorsalis from other Diseases
- Tabes dorsalis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause lightning pains, impaired sensation and proprioception, and progressive sensory ataxia and unsteady gait(locomotor ataxia) and Sexual function problems, such as vitamin B12 deficiency, extrinsic spinal cord compression, vitamin E deficiency and multiple sclerosis.
Diseases | History and Symptoms | Physical Examination | Other Findings | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
lightning pains | impaired sensation | progressive sensory ataxia | unsteady gait | Argyll-Robertson pupils | impaired vibratory and proprioception sense | broad base and sensory ataxic gait | positive Romberg's test | ||
