Re: Disease Detectives B/C Question Marathon

Re: Disease Detectives B/C Question Marathon
Here's another question.
At a Marriott hotel in Seattle, Washington, multiple guests developed a headache and a severe fever. This occurred in late December 2002. Later, the disease was identified as X. pseudonymous. Please write a case definition.

Re: Disease Detectives B/C Question Marathon
