Abstract:
When a patient presents with tiredness, the diagnostic model is a useful basis for considering the probable diagnosis. At the same time it is imperative not to overlook the serious, even life threatening, causes such as malignant disease or AIDS. Such an organised approach allows the practitioner to ask the correct questions because, as always, the quality of the history taking is vital in leading to the diagnosis of this difficult symptom.
