Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the most common cause of viral hepatitis in the world and is typically transmitted by consumption of undercooked meat or ingestion of contaminated water. Because of the rise in reports of HEV associated GBS, highlighting cases and calling attention to this complex clinical condition are important to improve recognition and treatment. We present a case of sudden lower extremity weakness and describe the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of a patient with acute HEV infection and Guillain-Barre syndrome.Learners must attend/view/read the entire activity, read Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes, and complete the associated evaluation to be awarded the contact hours or CERP. No partial credit will be awarded.
