Description
This course is designed to provide information to enable physicians to recognize dengue cases early in the clinical course, assess patients appropriately, and provide timely treatment.
Module 1 covers how dengue presents similarly to other diseases in patients and help learners identify reasons why dengue is a public health concern. Three patients with symptoms are introduced and are waiting for diagnosis and treatment.
Module 2 describes the transmission of dengue virus, the four dengue viruses and type-specific immunity, clinical course of dengue to include the three phases: (1) febrile, (2) critical, and (3) recovery, and possible complications in each phase, changes in the World Health Organization (WHO) case definition of dengue, and pathophysiology of dengue.
Module 3 covers differential diagnosis of dengue, clinical assessment of disease severity, clinical and laboratory diagnosis, clinical management and treatment, and intravenous fluid management.
Module 4 discusses the epidemiology of dengue, the public health implications of dengue, how to prevent dengue virus transmission and lists the ways patients and communities can help control dengue.
Module 5 concludes by revisiting the patients presented in module 1. This module will explain how to assess patients and diagnose dengue, list the laboratory tests necessary to diagnose patients, distinguish clinical and laboratory features of diseases in the differential diagnosis of dengue, and explain treatment options for patients with dengue in the different phases, including cases with complications.
