Diagnostic Pitfalls

"Acute gastritis" is a rare disease in adults. As a rule appendicitis or gall-stones is the correct diagnosis.
"Chronic indigestion" is usually a mistaken diagnosis, the actual condition being peptic ulcer, pulmonary tuberculosis, constipation or cancer of the colon.
"Bronchitis" usually proves to be phthisis, bronchiectasis or bronchopneumonia at autopsy or in the outcome.
"Asthma" beginning after middle life is usually a symptom of cardiac or renal disease.--Cabot; J. A. M. A.
