Nesto Congress – Fever of unknown origin: a comprehensive approach
On 10 December 2022, Nesto will be organizing its second congress, focusing on fever of unknown origin (FUO).
Identifying the cause of a fever of unknown origin often proves to be very challenging. When working up a FUO patient, various factors should be taken into account. Therefore FUO will be discussed from a neurological, cardiological, orthopaedic and internal medicine point of view, continuously underlining the importance of a correct – and preferably early – diagnosis.
Speakers and topics for veterinarians:
– Lisa Stammeleer – Diplomate Internal Medicine
How to work-up FUO patients, based on real-life cases: a diagnostic approach.
Travel-related diseases and FUO.
– Kenny Bossens – Diplomate Neurology
Infectious diseases and FUO: a neurological point of view.
– Valérie Bavegems – PhD Cardiology
Mitral valve endocardiosis, or endocarditis? Aortic valve stenosis, or aortic endocarditis? Or even myocarditis? How to differentiate them?
– Christophe Verroken – Certificate Orthopedics
Fever in orthopedics
Speakers and topics for veterinary assistants:
– Lisa Stammeleer – Diplomate Internal Medicine
Fever and hyperthermia: differences and treatments.
Blood and urine tests: methodology and interpretation of test results.
