Measles;

Zika;

  1. Appraise how the transmission mechanisms and risk of infection has impacted the incidence of these viruses in the U.S.
  2. Recognize and determine, through appropriate WHO and CDC resources, the geographic distribution of each viral illness.
  3. Determine the various presentations and differentiate the clinical syndromes from other common infectious processes in patients presenting to a primary care practice.
  4. Determine the features and predictors to formulate an approach to each illness that will help guide your diagnostic testing decisions for making an appropriate diagnosis as per the current CDC and WHO Guidelines.
  5. Assess the risk to health care workers and other patients while determining public health implications in an effort to deploy appropriate resources and methods of Infection control as per the CDC and WHO recommendations and Guidelines.

TOPIC 3: Approach to the Patient with Fever and Rash.

Upon completion of this session, the participant should be able to: COMP

  1. Describe the etiology of commonly seen infectious and non-infectious rashes that are associated with fever.
