1 The Premier Global Infectious Disease Knowledge Management System Diagnose With over 200 signs & symptoms Country of acquisition and presumed incubation periods Custom notes Disease comparisons Continue for step by step demonstration 1

2 A 55 year old American photographer returned home after a six-week trip to the game parks of Tanzania. Four weeks after return, he developed headache, myalgia, arthralgia, weight loss and intermittent fever. The patient is noticeably confused and distracted, and physical examination reveals hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenopathy in the supraclavicular and cervical regions. The hemogram is normal, but the cerebrospinal fluid contains 20 lymphocytes per mm3. What is your diagnosis?... Main Diagnosis Page 2

3 The symptoms for our Photographer from Tanzania are: +adult +severe +fever +3-6 weeks +hepatomegaly - pulmonary, cardiac + generalized lympadenopathy + splenomegaly + headache + encephalitis - ear nose throat + Arthralgia + Myalgia; or muscular mass or swelling + CSF pleocytosis: lymphocytes predominate Onset: 23 September Exposure began: 14 July Exposure ended: 23 August Which we will enter into GIDEON in the next step First we select the symptoms and signs Clicking once to select that a symptom is present and twice to specify that a symptom is not present We can then add information such as: Country of Acquisition and Incubation Periods Now, lets make a diagnosis! 3

4 The results from GIDEON indicate that our photographer Click on a has Trypanosmiasis disease African. name to view With these results more detailed we can then: information Run a disease comparison by selecting the diseases we wish to compare and pressing the Compare button X X 4

5 Disease comparison chart: We can also use the results from GIDEON to: Ask GIDEON to explain why a certain disease does not appear in the results by clicking on the Why Not button Print the results screen the results Next, we explore the case in the Epidemiology module 5

6 Epidemiology With over 13,000 graphs and images available for presentations & lectures This module follows the real-time status of every disease in every country! Generates disease lists compatible with any combination of vector, vehicle, reservoir, agent and country. In Epidemiology we can find more information on Trypanosomiasis African Display general information by selecting it from the disease list below: 6

7 We can also display distribution information by clicking on the distribution tab This module also includes graphs 7

8 The Epidemiology module also features images 8

9 The clinical tab, in the Epidemiology module, offers a wealth of information on the signs, symptoms, laboratory abnormalities.. and much more 9

10 New Feature! Maps in GIDEON Maps in GIDEON In the Epidemiology module, under the distribution tab you can now display interactive distribution maps by clicking on the globe icon: 10

11 Maps in GIDEON The maps are also linked to individual country notes below we have a map of the worldwide Plague distribution: If we zoom in on Cambodia, and click the red dot, the individual note will appear: Therapy Provides information on over 300 drugs & vaccines worldwide Spectrum Warnings & Side effects by symptom, drug interactions by drug 11
