چکیده

We describe a patient with enterovirus encephalitis who presented with oral ulcers and a rash (Figs 1-3). Although the rash appeared to be non-specific, enterovirus was immediately suspected as the aetiological agent based on its hand, foot, and mouth (HFM), and body distribution. Enterovirus type 71 (EV71) was promptly identified by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction at multiple sites.

Some systematic biases of everyday judgment

Psychological research shows that daily judgment and reasoning are biased in predictable ways. Three common problems lead to judgment bias, namely, the 'compared to what' problem, the 'seek and ye shall find' problem and the selective memory problem. The scientific method was developed as an inferential safeguard for the inaccuracy of everyday judgment. Unfortunately, the scientific method is n...
