[Analogy in the diagnostic thinking of a physician].
The author makes an analysis of the analogy as one of the main forms of the diagnozing process and clinical thinking of the physician. The logical essence of the analogy in diagnostics is described. To assess the degree of probability of diagnostic conclusions made by analogy the author proposes to take into consideration certain conditions allowing to avoid the mistakes resulting from an incorrect use of analogy and to raise the reliability of diagnostic suppositions.
