GIDEON DIAGNOSTIC TOOL FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASES

GIDEON (Global Infectious Disease and Epidemiology Network), an online infectious diseases differential diagnostic tool, has been added to the Norris Library's collection. The diagnostic portion of GIDEON prompts the user to enter information on the patient being diagnosed. Based on the users input, the system presents a list of possible disease matches. When more than one disease is possible, the program allows the user to compare diseases in order to view differential diagnosis criteria for the possible diseases. The system also provides general information about infectious diseases, therapy information about specific drugs, vaccine summaries, and an identification tool for pathogens. Use with Internet Explorer.
