Viral Infections (Part 3) - Viral or non-viral?

Dr Marina Morgan, Consultant Clinical Microbiologist at Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, is back once again, joining Dr George Moncrieff and Dr Roger Henderson in their deep dive into the world of viral rashes. 

From Kawasaki disease to Covid-19-related skin issues, the trio explores the complexities of diagnosing and managing these, often misunderstood, conditions. 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Recognising the unique characteristics of Kawasaki disease, MIS-C, and toxic shock syndrome.
  • Understanding how Covid-19 can present a wide spectrum of skin manifestations.
  • Practical tips for primary care professionals to help identify urgent cases that require hospital referral. 

Tune in for expert insights and practical advice to enhance your dermatological knowledge.
