Brief Summary

Since 2009, Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital organized a medical team to provide the medical service for people in Solomon Islands thru Taiwan Health Center at the local. In addition to Malaria and pulmonary tuberculosis, the investigators also found dengue virus, Japanese Encephalitis virus, Chikungunya virus infections and intestinal parasitic infections might be the existing but overlooked and neglected medical issues in Solomon Islands. These infections show similarity in clinical manifestations and usually difficulty in clinical diagnosis, instead these infections rely on the laboratory identification with good laboratory quality and facility.
