40 YEARS OLD MALE WITH DENGUE FEVER WITH LEFT SIDED PLEURAL EFFUSION WITH GLOMERULONEPHRITIS

 This is an 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 patient's problems through series of inputs from available global online community of experts with an aim to solve those patient's clinical problems with collective current best evidence based inputs".

  This E log book also reflects my patient-centered online learning portfolio and your valuable comments on comment box is welcome.
