Generalized anxiety disorder:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Generalized anxiety disorder can begin at any age but typically has an onset in the 20s and 30s. Psychological or physiologic symptoms of anxiety states vary with the degree of anxiety. Mild anxiety mainly causes psychological symptoms, with unusual self-awareness and alertness to the environment. Moderate anxiety leads to selective inattention but with the ability to concentrate on a single task. Severe anxiety causes an inability to concentrate on more than scattered details of a task. A panic state with acute anxiety causes a complete loss of concentration, typically with unintelligible speech.
Physical examination of the patient with generalized anxiety disorder may reveal signs or symptoms of motor tension, including trembling, muscle aches and spasms, headaches, and an inability to relax. Autonomic signs and symptoms include shortness of breath, tachycardia, sweating, and abdominal complaints.
In addition, the patient may startle easily and complain of feeling apprehensive, fearful, or angry. There may also be difficulty concentrating, eating, and sleeping. The medical, psychiatric, and psychosocial histories fail to identify a specific physical or environmental cause of the anxiety.

Anxiety disorder, generalized:
Signs and symptoms

Infection in Unusual Spaces:
Presentation
(Pediatric Infectious Disease)
A major challenge for the pediatrician is to separate necrotizing fasciitis from
a routine cellulitis. Clinical examination is the mainstay of diagnosis. A
major clue on physical examination involves severe pain, often out of
proportion to the physical findings. As the infection progresses, one finds
worsening erythema and edema. Later, the skin may develop blisters, and bullae
may form (Fig. 16.1). The formation of bullae is thought to be an important
diagnostic finding that should always raise the suspicion for necrotizing
fasciitis. Later in the progression of the disease, the bullae become
hemorrhagic and are often accompanied by crepitus.
