Delayed diagnosis refers to situations when a doctor delays in diagnosing a medical condition within a reasonable time–when a reasonably prudent doctor would not have delayed in making the diagnosis.
Misdiagnosis refers to those situations when a doctor makes the wrong diagnosis for a medical condition.
