1801006146 SHORT CASE

This is an online e-log book to discuss our patient's de-identified health data shared after taking his/her/guardian's informed consent. Here we discuss our individual patient's problems through a series of inputs from an available global online community of experts with an aim to solve those patient's clinical problems with collective current best evidence based inputs. This e-log book also reflects my patient-related online learning portfolio and your valuable inputs on the comment box. 

I have been given this case to solve in an attempt to understand the topic of “ patient clinical data analysis" to develop my competency in reading and comprehending clinical data including history, clinical findings, investigations and come up with diagnosis and treatment plan.

Consent and de-identification: The patient and the attenders have been adequately informed about this documentation and privacy of the patient is being conserved entirely. No identifiers shall be revealed throughout this piece of work.
