On our adventures today, we got to visit the Queen Sirikit's National Institute of Health. While here, we got an extensive lecture about Dengue and the different sub types associated with it. Dr. Supradish went into detail about the different signs and symptoms, epidemiology, and the different treatment options associated with Dengue. This part of our day was super interesting since Dengue isn't really a prominent disease in the United States. She explained how they have cases of Dengue ranging from as old as 90 years old to as young as 9 hours old. After our lecture, we were given a slight tour of the hospital while also getting the chance to meet different patients that have Dengue fever. This experience was definitely a shock since it was something I never thought I would get the chance to see up close. Overall, it was a very informational visit to the Queen Sirikit's National Institute of Health.
