Recognise, refer and report Poxvirus infection, with Dr Tom Blanchard

Learn how to recognise, refer and report Poxvirus infection, with Dr Thomas Blanchard, Consultant in Infectious Diseases, Department of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine, Royal Liverpool Hospital.
During a poxvirus outbreak there may be many potential contacts most of whom can be managed by passive surveillance by public health authorities. A symptomatic contact needs to be a risk assessed as most do not need to be seen in full personal protective equipment in a regional infectious diseases unit. For example, a close household contact who develops fever and rash is at high risk, whereas someone who happens to live in the same city and has a fever but no rash is at very low risk.
