Abstract:
The clinicopathological conferences and case reports that are published in the medical literature contain rare and complex medical cases that are of general interest to the medical community. We present ZebraHunter, an information retrieval resource that allows clinicians to input clinical findings, search for rare diseases (medical zebras), and fetch the associated citations.
