I love you. This is better than all that $8,000 garbage people pay for.

+Jeff Riddle thank u so much for the kind words!

You have a very clear voice with the proper pauses. Good video. Malaria has a unique fever graph. Relapses can also occur. Perhaps you'd cover with similar diseases elsewhere. Thank you for the reviews. It's relevant even for those of us who are recertifying for Specialty Boards. No better foundation than the basics.

+r3tkd2 thanks :)

Do mebendazole and albendazole have any antifungal properties even though they are not in the same class of drugs as the typical antifungal 'axole' drugs?

[@Gamrider]

Very clear.... what about trypansoma brucei and cruzi

[@stomponstep1989]

+leopold grant thanks. I found those parasites to be very low yield based on the frequency of appearance within retired step 1 questions and commercially available practice questions so I left them out
