Teaching Cases

In this section of our website there is a collection of medical cases (mainly from the Infectious Diseases/Clinical Microbiology field) with several teaching points. The language of this section is English.

The chief complaint, history of present illness, medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic work up are presented in a succinct way in the first part leading to a question for the reader about diagnosis or management (the usual question is: ''What is your diagnosis?'')

Differential diagnosis, final diagnosis, treatment, teaching points, references, and acknowledgements are presented in the second part that appears if you click on the box "Click here for the diagnosis".

While the majority of cases in our website come from our group, occasionally cases from other institutions from Greece or abroad may appear.
