A 55 year old American photographer returned home
after a six-week trip to the game parks of Tanzania. Four
weeks after return, he developed headache, myalgia,
arthralgia, weight loss and intermittent fever. The patient is
noticeably confused and distracted, and physical
examination reveals hepatosplenomegaly and
lymphadenopathy in the supraclavicular and cervical regions.
The hemogram is normal, but the cerebrospinal fluid contains
20 lymphocytes per mm3. What is your
diagnosis?...

First we select the symptoms and signs:Clicking once to select that a symptom is present
and twice to specify that a symptom is not present
We can then add information such as:
Country of Acquisition…
… and Incubation Periods
Now, lets make a diagnosis!

The results from GIDEON indicate that our photographer has Trypanosmiasis – African. With these results we can then:
Run a disease comparison by selecting the diseases we wish to compare and pressing the “Compare” button
Click on a disease name to view more detailed information

Ask GIDEON to explain why a certain disease does not appear in the results by clicking on the “Why Not” button
Print the results screen
Email the results
Next, we explore the case in the Epidemiology module…
We can also use the results from GIDEON to:

In the Epidemiology module, under the distribution tab you can now display interactive distribution maps. To start click on the globe icon below
Which then displays the following distribution map:

In the previous module we saw that one possible treatment option for Trypanosomiasis – African is the use of Pentamidine. In the Therapy module we can find information on Pentamidine by selecting it from the list of drug choices
GIDEON will first display general information for the selection
We can then display drug warnings by clicking on the warnings tab
The synonym tab displays this information
Finally, we can use the spectrum tab to display spectrum information

To explore the Microbiology module we will refer to one of our recent example cases: “Creative DeBugging”A 47 year old man is found to have a large abscess in his left leg. Routine cultures reveal a branched, aerobic, non-sporulating, Gram-positive bacillus. What micro-organisms should be considered ? What procedure should the laboratory perform at this point ?Phenotypic tests were entered into the Microbiology module of GIDEON:
Pressing the Identify button gives us these results
The organism in question appears to be one of several species of Nocardia. In order to determine the most discriminative laboratory test to perform at this point, we will check all of the organisms, and press ‘Compare’.

As we see in this screen, GIDEON recommends that we examine Citrate, myo-Inositol and Mannitol [top three tests].
…Our organism was ‘positive’ for all three of the additional tests. After re-identifying the organism using those results we can see in this screen that the most likely identification in this case is Nocardia brasiliensis.
By click on the pathogen name we can display further information on the selection
Phenotype information can be displayed by clicking on the Phenotype tab in this display
