Case Scenario

Case Scenario

Read the “introduction” of an original article on typhoid fever, provided here (Fig. 5.2; adapted from Kadhiravan T, Wig N, Kapil A, Kabra SK, Renuka K, Misra A. Clinical outcomes in typhoid fever: adverse impact of infection with nalidixic acid-resistant Salmonella typhi. BMC Infect Dis 2005;5:37.).

  • Is it written in a way that is understandable to a nonspecialist reader?

  • Does the organization conform to the “inverted pyramid” shape of flow?

  • Does it provide all desired information? Is anything missing?

  • Are the important points/facts/assertions supported by judicious use of references?

  • Have the authors elaborately described the findings of previous studies?
