This commentary describes the challenges of traditional approaches to differential diagnosis during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors suggest the use of a “bottom-up” approach to diagnosis, which first eliminates the rare and/or serious diagnoses before moving on to more common diagnoses, thereby ensuring that all patients are screened for more serious diseases and improving timely diagnosis.
