Ultrasound in the diagnosis of infectious and tropical diseases: A literature review

 https://doi.org/10.52322/jocmbmh.07.en.02

ABSTRACT

Using ultrasound (US) to diagnose and treat infectious and tropical diseases has tremendous promise, particularly in resource-constrained situations. In recent years, technical advancements have improved the availability and accessibility of ultrasonography in low-resource settings, where the burden of infectious illnesses is disproportionately high. In the right circumstances, ultrasound has the potential to reduce medical mistakes, offer more efficient real-time diagnosis, and complement or replace more sophisticated imaging when necessary. This review compiles the data supporting this practice and assesses its efficacy in this regard. 

Keywords: Ultrasound, infectious diseases, tropical diseases.
