    systematic method to identify a disease by ruling out others

    Differential diagnosis is a systematic method used by doctors to identify a disease or condition in a patient. It involves listing all possible causes of the patient's symptoms and then ruling them out one by one through medical history, physical exams, and diagnostic tests until the most likely cause is determined. This process ensures that the correct condition is treated, especially when symptoms are common to multiple diseases.
