Having a new rotation this week, and the subject is Tropical Pathology.
Actually we call the rotations here as ‘cycles’, as a cycle means having to study the same subject for certain credit hours. Tropical pathology is fun, reminds me of studying somewhat similar, Pathological Anatomy back in 3rd Year.
The topic for today : Typhoid fever, Cholera and Dysentery. Never thought initially that Cholera can bring such high mortality. All I knew during childhood is that cholera is just diarrhea. As our lecturer explained, it could really bring serious complications.
drug treatment is actually not really effective. Prevention is the main line of management. People should be aware of contaminated food or water.
So, be careful with your hygiene^^
