Luckily the Summary Table is accurate. I’ve modified the two sections in the book for future members. Here it is:

(DOUBLE TAKE) STACCATO, BARKY & PAROXYSMAL COUGHS

* STACCATO: If this term is used to describe an infection-related cough, pick CHLAMYDIA PNEUMONIAE.

* BARKY: If this term is used to describe the cough, pick CROUP. Which is most commonly from parainfluenza and other viruses.

* PAROXYSMAL: If this term is used to describe the cough, pick PERTUSSIS.
