COVID case discussion

 

K.Keshitha  , MBBS 8th semsester

Roll No : 64


This is a online E log book to discuss our patient’s de-identified health data shared after taking his/her/guardian’s signed informed consent. Here we discuss our individual patients problems through series of inputs from available global community of experts with an aim to solve those patients clinical problems with collective current best evidence based inputs .This E log book also reflects my patient centered online learning portfolio and your valuable inputs in comment box is welcome.

I’ve been given this case to solve in an attempt to understand the topic of “patient clinical data analysis” to develop my competency in reading and comprehending clinical data including history , clinical findings , investigations and come up with diagnosis and treatment plan .
