  • Snapshot
    • A 32-year-old woman presents to a local clinic in Nigeria. She had been working in the rainforest as part of a conservation movement and had been bitten multiple times over the past few days by mosquitos and other flying insects. Three days ago, she developed a flu-like viral illness and recently began having minor nosebleeds. She also noted that her skin looked more yellow than normal. On exam, she is jaundiced with scleral icterus. She is also noted to have hepatomegaly and gingival bleeding. Laboratory testing reveals a transaminitis and hyperbilirubinemia. She is told that she needs to be admitted for close monitoring.
