Tropical Medicine

Tropical medicine deals with infections common in warm climates, such as malaria, dengue, typhoid, leptospirosis and scrub typhus, which can look alike at the start of illness.

Seek care promptly for fever with severe headache, bleeding, jaundice, breathing difficulty or confusion. Mosquito control, safe water and hygiene are the best prevention.
