Continue for step by step demonstration…


A 55 year old American photographer returned home

after a six-week trip to the game parks of Tanzania. Four

weeks after return, he developed headache, myalgia,

arthralgia, weight loss and intermittent fever. The patient is

noticeably confused and distracted, and physical

examination reveals hepatosplenomegaly and

lymphadenopathy in the supraclavicular and cervical regions.

The hemogram is normal, but the cerebrospinal fluid contains

20 lymphocytes per mm3. What is your

diagnosis?...


Main Diagnosis Page:


First we select the symptoms and signs:Clicking once to select that a symptom is present

and twice to specify that a symptom is not present

We can then add information such as:

Country of Acquisition…

… and Incubation Periods

Now, lets make a diagnosis!


The results from GIDEON indicate that our photographer has Trypanosmiasis – African. With these results we can then:

Run a disease comparison by selecting the diseases we wish to compare and pressing the “Compare” button

Click on a disease name to view more detailed information

Ask GIDEON to explain why a certain disease does not appear in the results by clicking on the “Why Not” button

Print the results screen

Email the results

Next, we explore the case in the Epidemiology module…

We can also use the results from GIDEON to:


Epidemiology This module follows the real-time status of every disease in every country !With over 13,000 graphs

and images available for presentations & lectures…

Generates disease lists compatible with any combination of vector, vehicle, reservoir, agent and country.


In Epidemiology we can find more information on Trypanosomiasis – African:

Display general information by selecting it from the disease list below: We can also

display distribution information by clicking on the distribution tab


This module also includes graphs

The Epidemiology module also features images:The clinical tab, in the Epidemiology module, offers a wealth of information on the signs, symptoms, laboratory abnormalities .. and much more


Maps in GIDEON

New Feature!

Maps in GIDEON

In the Epidemiology module, under the distribution tab you can now display interactive distribution maps. To start click on the globe icon below

Which then displays the following distribution map:

Maps in GIDEONThe maps are also linked to individual country notes…below we have a map of the worldwide Plague distribution:

If we zoom in on Cambodia, and click the red dot, the individual note will appear:

TherapyProvides information on over

300 drugs & vaccines worldwide

Warnings & Side effects by symptom, drug interactions by

Spectrum …


In the previous module we saw that one possible treatment option for Trypanosomiasis – African is the use of Pentamidine. In the Therapy module we can find information on Pentamidine by selecting it from the list of drug choices

GIDEON will first display general information for the selection

We can then display drug warnings by clicking on the warnings tab

The synonym tab displays this information

Finally, we can use the spectrum tab to display spectrum information

To explore the Microbiology module we will refer to one of our recent example cases: “Creative DeBugging”A 47 year old man is found to have a large abscess in his left leg. Routine cultures reveal a branched, aerobic, non-sporulating, Gram-positive bacillus. What micro-organisms should be considered ? What procedure should the laboratory perform at this point ?Phenotypic tests were entered into the Microbiology module of GIDEON:

Pressing the Identify button gives us these results

The organism in question appears to be one of several species of Nocardia. In order to determine the most discriminative laboratory test to perform at this point, we will check all of the organisms, and press ‘Compare’.

As we see in this screen, GIDEON recommends that we examine Citrate, myo-Inositol and Mannitol [top three tests].

…Our organism was ‘positive’ for all three of the additional tests. After re-identifying the organism using those results we can see in this screen that the most likely identification in this case is Nocardia brasiliensis.

By click on the pathogen name we can display further information on the selection

Phenotype information can be displayed by clicking on the Phenotype tab in this display
