Micro- and Macro- Pathogens in the Tropical North

Abstract Overview

History of travel, occupational or recreational exposure, social and family circumstances comes first.
Clinical observation comes second, even if you cant take your eyes off that rash.

What resources may help in both diagnosis and treatment? How about AI?
Is what you see in the Tropical Health Orientation Manual?
