With no other medical professionals available to consult, and no laboratory resources, she turned to Figure 1’s network of healthcare professionals for real-time consultation and collaboration. A pediatrician in California saw the case, and was quick to reassure her that the infant had benign neonatal pustular melanosis, a condition which resolves spontaneously and requires no treatment. The diagnosis was confirmed by other pediatricians, as well as dermatologists, and obstetricians and gynecologists. With the support of the Figure 1 community and collective knowledge base, the nurse subsequently safely discharged the newborn without any unnecessary and cost-prohibitive treatments.

She was stumped and had no idea what could have caused the striking eruption. In searching for a diagnosis, and concerned about possible physical child abuse, she shared the case on Figure 1. The answer came from a family medicine physician, who recognized the characteristic rash from a teaching case he had previously seen on Figure 1 of a 50-year-old male who had developed the same unusual rash after eating undercooked shiitake mushrooms. This discourse prompted the physician assistant to investigate the child’s diet that day. To her amazement, she learned that the daycare had served mushroom soup containing shiitake mushrooms for lunch. This case illustrates how, for many healthcare professionals, the real-world medical cases and discussions on Figure 1 have become powerful learning tools that tangibly impact patient care.

During previous emerging public health threats, such as Zika and MERS, Figure 1 played a pivotal role in disseminating real-time clinical knowledge, allowing healthcare professionals to share cases about how the viruses presented. In early 2020, as Covid-19 swept the globe, information about the disease was changing daily, and healthcare professionals once again turned to Figure 1 to learn more about the novel virus. One hospitalist in the U.S., about to start a 9-day stretch caring for Covid-19 patients, asked the community what questions they had about the disease, and shared cases of his patients, responding to questions and educating millions of healthcare professionals around the world in the process. Reading through the comments is a stark reminder of how far we’ve come in understanding and managing this disease – but also serves to show just how important these discussions are in the face of public health threats.
