Finding accredited CPD
A 62‐year‐old man from Connecticut, USA, presented to the emergency department with a six‐day history of a febrile illness featuring headache, fatigue, malaise and anorexia. Medical history was limited to dyslipidaemia and hypertension and he was not known to be immunocompromised.
His fever began a day after returning from a safari in West Arnhem Land. The safari involved boating in billabongs and hiking through bush and flood plains. His travel history included birding expeditions to Central America, with the latest six months prior. He regularly hiked in Connecticut forests and had been camping recently in Maine. Before the safari, he spent two days in Darwin and recalled a stinging in his groin while touring a gallery. The next morning, he removed a suspected tick from his scrotum while showering.
