About Infectious and Tropical Diseases

GoConqr Original

What the page covers

This unit brings together bacterial, viral, parasitic and fungal infections, plus tropical and travel medicine. Most of the material is mind maps, with flashcard decks, quizzes, flowcharts and a few notes alongside them. The listed resources are mainly at university level, with a small share aimed at professional candidates. USMLE is the one exam mentioned in the resources.

Where to start

Begin with a broad overview, then narrow down by disease.

Open the flashcard deck Infection: Antibiotics and Resistance. Its cards ask you to explain the CURB-65 score and to list empiric antibiotic treatment for community-acquired pneumonia, infective exacerbation of COPD and uncomplicated urinary infection.
Move to the mind maps HIV, Sepsis and viral hepatitis for the structure of each topic.
Take on tropical topics with African Trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis and malaria.

Using maps and quizzes together

Read a map first and note the branches you cannot explain from memory. For example, the African Trypanosomiasis map splits sleeping sickness into the gambiense and rhodesiense forms and covers the tsetse fly vector. The tetanus map follows the toxin, the incubation period and the classic features. Then test yourself. The quiz Infectious Diseases Test 2- 5th Year PMU starts with questions on hepatitis A and E transmission and incubation. Other quizzes cover returned travellers, dengue, typhoid, HIV cases and tropical medicine, so you can match a quiz to the map you just read.

Where this unit sits

This unit belongs to the strand Haematology, Oncology and Infectious Diseases, within the subject Internal medicine, pathology and clinical semiology. It sits comfortably beside work on immunity, microbiology and clinical presentations.

For teachers

Teachers can use the maps and flowcharts, such as the ones on the progression of HIV, as ready-made starting points for a session or a revision handout.

Choose one disease today, try its quiz, and then make a map or deck of your own to fill any gaps.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the flashcard deck Infection: Antibiotics and Resistance. It covers the CURB-65 score and empiric antibiotic choices for pneumonia, COPD exacerbations and urinary infection. After that, move to a disease map such as HIV or Sepsis, then test yourself with one of the infectious disease quizzes.

What do the mind maps on this page cover?

The mind maps span many diseases, including HIV, viral hepatitis, tetanus, malaria, leishmaniasis, tuberculosis, pertussis, sepsis, herpes zoster and African Trypanosomiasis. Several also cover American Trypanosomiasis, infections in immunocompromised patients and emerging infections with eosinophilia. Each breaks a topic into branches you can check from memory.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. If you want your quiz scores saved or want to make your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes, you can add a free account.

Is there anything for tropical medicine and travel?

Yes. Look at the quizzes Tropical Medicine Final MCQs- 5th Year PMU, Returned Traveller Lab and Typhoid and Dengue. There are also flashcard decks on the returning traveller with fever, plus maps on malaria, leishmaniasis and Chagas disease that work well alongside them.

Which exams and levels does this suit?

Most resources are at university level, with some for professional candidates. USMLE is the only exam the listed resources mention. Teachers can also use the maps, flowcharts and quizzes as ready-made material for classes and revision sessions.

What if I cannot find my topic?

Try a nearby title first. Infections are often grouped under broader decks such as Infectious Disease, Viral infections or Bacterial Infections. If your topic is still missing, you can make your own mind map, flashcards or quiz and use the page's resources as a model.
