| 11:15 | Yellow Fever: New Challenges to an Old Scourge - Carlos del Rio, Emory University, Atlanta, GA |
| This program was chosen to look into a variety of outbreaks of infectious origin. From Dr. Asa we hope to learn how to deal with clinical and autopsy specimens based on her work during the SARS outbreak. Dr. Nelson will discuss how this ongoing AIDS outbreak has changed its pathology as new therapies are available and pathologists need to recognize these changes. As an example of an old disease with multiple past outbreaks Dr. del Rio will discuss yellow fever. In outbreak situations, it is always important to recognize the index case. Dr. Nolte will discuss using the Med-X program to find infectious disease cases and identify the index case. From a pathologist point of view, this symposium will be helpful to learn how to identify the index case, diagnose other cases, and work in infectious disease outbreak situations. |
