Rare But There: Can't-Miss Infections in Primary Care

Overview

Some infections are uncommon -- but they can be devastating if missed. Through clinical cases, this session highlights “can’t-miss” diagnoses in primary care, with clinical clues to alert providers about these important considerations. Practical takeaways will help clinicians recognize these serious infections early and act decisively.

Learning Objectives

• Identify clinical “red flags” that warrant further diagnostic workup in the primary care setting.
• Improve recognition of infections that present atypically or evolve slowly over time.
• Apply principles of diagnostic reasoning to avoid premature closure and anchoring bias.
