Dengue fever (DF) and dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) symptoms analysis from an expert system perspective

Abstract

Describes an expert system framework to map out the clinical procedures observed by medical experts in clinical diagnosing and determination of the dengue fever (DF) and dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF). An early diagnosis of DF is very important for a better prognosis. The DF and DHF clinical symptoms were studied from an expert system perspective, and represented in a tree-like structure amenable to expert system applications. It is envisaged that such a framework, automated through expert system rule-chaining technology will aid medical personnel to carry out DF and DHF diagnostic procedures accurately, faster and efficient.
