ABSTRACT

Computerized children epidemics diagnosis system is designed to assist in the medical diagnosis of Children diseases. The program is based on the assumption that Children diseases is the principal complaint, and that there are no other dominant complaints or symptoms. The reliability of the program obviously depends on the information supplied by the physician and/or patient. Entering incorrect or misleading information will cause erroneous or unreliable results. Epidemic is outbreak of contagious disease affecting an unusually large number of people or involving an extensive geographical area. Epidemics, which may be short-lived or last for years, are brought on by the widening reach of disease-causing organisms. These organisms can spread by contaminated food or water, directly from one person to another through physical contact, or by the exchange of bodily secretions such as saliva, semen, or blood. Insects, rodents, and other disease-carrying animals, known as vectors, are agents that may infect human populations with epidemic diseases. This program is designed using visual basic and Microsoft access.

ORGANIZATION OF WORK

This project work is primarily designed to give an insight into computerized children epidemics diagnosis system used in hospitals.

Chapter one talks about introduction to computerized children epidemics diagnosis system on children epidemics , study of problem and objectives as well as definition of the scope.

Chapter two comprises the literature review. Chapter three gives the detailed information about the existing (old) system, while chapter four and five deals with the design and implantation of new system.

Chapter six documents the project work, while chapter seven summaries, conclusion and suggestions were made.
