| Description |
Cardinal characteristics of typical anorexia nervosa were compared to characteristics of three children who exhibited features of atypical anorexia nervosa, who were subsequently diagnosed with physical disorders to which the anorexia was secondary. The differences between the characteristics of typical and atypical anorectics were used to provide diagnostic information that would assist in making or reinforcing the diagnosis of atypical anorexia nervosa. The data about the children were collected by reviewing their hospital records. Several indices were used as differential diagnostic tools when evaluating individuals who are profoundly undernourished. |
