Snapshot You work for a non-profit organization specializing in infectious diseases. You monitor outbreaks in developing countries. You receive a report of a child with multiple pustular lesions with the densest portion over the face. Concerned about a potential smallpox outbreak, you immediately reach out to find out more about the patient course and to obtain photographs. When you find out that the child did not have a prodrome and that scabs had formed within a week, you feel some relief. However, you still request laboratory confirmation of the disease.
