Tsunami Survivor with Fever and Jaundice
Abstract
After a tsunami, refugees are at risk of numerous causes of morbidity and mortality. Endemic diseases, such as malaria, are among the most common. This case forces participants to consider and diagnose endemic diseases in the setting of a disaster, including determining appropriate workup, both for the end diagnosis and to rule out alternatives, as well as the correct treatment of endemic disease.
