Rapidly fatal infections.

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America
Diana HansEric D Katz

Abstract

Emergency physicians are trained to separate "sick" from "not sick" patients during their training. Nevertheless, every emergency physician will face situations in which early intervention is critical to their patient's outcome. Infectious diseases are responsible for many of these potentially poor outcomes. This article discusses early identification and treatment for several rapidly fatal infections, including two newly identified travel-related illnesses.
