Using your course and textbook readings and the University Online Library, perform research on the
following:
•
Assessment, diagnostic testing, and management of infectious conditions in a pediatric patient
•
Differential diagnoses for presentation of symptoms involving infectious diseases in pediatric
patients
After completing your research, consider this scenario:
An eighteen-month-old child, well-known to your practice, presents with a seven-day history of fever
ranging from 101 to 104.7 degrees Fahrenheit. On the fourth day of the fever, the emergency department
had performed the following tests:
•
A blood and urine culture
•
A complete blood count
•
A comprehensive metabolic panel
The culture reports were found to be negative.
Today, the vitals of the child are the following:
•
Temperature: 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit
•
Heart rate: 120 beats/minute
•
Respiratory rate: 20 breaths/minute
•
Blood pressure: 90/40
Physical examination of the child indicates the following positive findings:
•
Injected conjunctiva
•
Palmar redness
•
Magenta-colored lips
•
Red macula
•
Excoriating rashes in the diaper area
On the basis of the above information, respond to the following:
•
What will be your differential diagnoses for this patient?
•
What specific physical exam findings support these differential diagnoses?
•
Of the differential diagnoses you listed, which would be the most concerning?
•
What additional diagnostic tests will you recommend? Why?
•
What would be your focus for caregiver education?
Clarification for week assignment
Assignment 1: Discussion: Infectious Diseases in Children
When you have a child that presents to the office ill appearing, you must be careful to run
through various scenarios and differentials, examining all the data that you have thus far and
make a firm diagnosis. For this case study, make sure to LOOK at all of the data, both subjective
and objective, symptoms and lab results, from this information develop an appropriate list
of differentials that will fit the symptoms, then narrow down to a single diagnosis and give
supporting evidence. For your final diagnosis, you will need to list any additional diagnostics
or additional labs (if needed), treatment(s), referrals (if needed) follow-ups, as well as caregiver
education (what would you want to know as a parent if your child had this diagnosis).
