The national TropiCare Consortium meetings aim to present and discuss puzzling tropical cases to seek advice from peers. In addition to case consultations, illustrative, well-documented cases will also be presented as educational material.
This TropiCare webpage hosts the cases presented during the TropiCare consortium meetings.
Kind regards,
The TropiCare Team

If you would like to present an illustrative case or have a complex tropical case that requires input (priority will be given to these cases), we kindly ask that you inform us in advance. Please ensure that patient anonymity is strictly maintained during presentations: no identifiable photos, names, or birth dates should be shared.
For complex cases requiring urgent expert consultation, we have established a dedicated email address (TropMail@itg.be), which is monitored daily by ITM staff.
If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us at TropMail@itg.be
