Whirlpool-associated folliculitis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa: report of an outbreak and review.

abstract：:Febrile travelers from countries with unique endemic pathogens pose a significant diagnostic challenge. In this report, we describe the case of a Tongan man presenting with fever, rash, and altered mental status. The diagnosis of Chikungunya encephalitis was made using a laboratory-developed real-time RT-PCR and serol...
