Recognise, refer and report Poxvirus infection, with Dr Tom Blanchard

BMJ Best Practice Podcast

10/04/18 • 17 min

Learn how to recognise, refer and report Poxvirus infection, with Dr Thomas Blanchard, Consultant in Infectious Diseases, Department of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine, Royal Liverpool Hospital. During a poxvirus outbreak there may be many potential contacts most of whom can be managed by passive surveillance by public health authorities. A symptomatic contact needs to be a risk assessed as most do not need to be seen in full personal protective equipment in a regional infectious diseases unit. For example, a close household contact who develops fever and rash is at high risk, whereas someone who happens to live in the same city and has a fever but no rash is at very low risk.
