Clinical discussion on Scrub Typhus

An hour long clinical discussion on this topic was organised at the MRRH conference hall today between 1-2 pm. I presented a small study on this topic which I had done recently following diagnosis of about 18 cases of Scrub Typhus between August to October this year. A detailed presentation on the epidemiology , clinical features, treatment and prevention of this zoonotic illness was made.
CME credits will be awarded to the participants.Further the Medical Superintendent also hinted that he would forward this presentation for inclusion in the Annual Clinical Conference sometime next year.
I am planning to continue the study on this zoonosis and know better about the prevalence and patient profile in the coming years. Any one interested to participate in the study from other hospitals is most welcome to join me.
