Your hosts Dr George Moncrieff and Dr Roger Henderson are joined once again by special guest Dr Marina Morgan, Consultant Clinical Microbiologist at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital. Together, they explore the fascinating and sometimes alarming world of viral skin infections, covering conditions from glandular fever to tropical viral infections like dengue, chikungunya and Zika, along with the global spread of mpox.

Key takeaways:

• Recognising glandular fever and its differential diagnoses, including CMV and acute HIV seroconversion.

• How global travel and climate change are impacting the spread of tropical viral infections.

• The new dengue and mpox vaccines.

• Practical advice for identifying and managing mpox and its implications for patients and public health.

Tune in to gain valuable insights into the complexities of diagnosing and managing viral skin infections.
