Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being utilized to augment the practice of emergency medicine due to rapid technological advances and breakthroughs. AI applications have been used to enhance triage systems, predict disease-specific risk, estimate staffing needs, forecast patient decompensation, and interpret imaging findings in the emergency department setting. This article aims to help readers without formal training become informed end-users of AI in emergency medicine. The authors will briefly discuss the principles and key terminology of AI, the reasons for its rising popularity, its potential applications in the emergency department setting, and its limitations. Additionally, resources for further self-studying will also be provided.

Background: Hospital studies suggest that scrub typhus is a leading cause of severe undifferentiated fever in regions across Asia where the disease is endemic, but the population-based incidence of infection and illness has been little studied.

Methods: We conducted a population-based cohort study to assess epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of scrub typhus in 37 villages in Tamil Nadu, India, where the disease is highly endemic. Study participants were visited every 6 to 8 weeks over a period of 2 years; a venous blood sample was obtained from those who had had fever since the last visit.
