Case of: Acute Gastroenteritis with Moderate Signs of Dehydration
HPI:
4 days prior to admission, patient noted 2x episodes vomiting with the ingested milk, associated with 1x episode of loose bowel movement, no intervention done. 3 days prior to admission, recurrence of vomiting up to 2x of previously ingested food associated with 2 episodes of loose bowel movement with a characteristic of yellow watery stool. The parents took the child to the ER for consult and was subsequently sent home with take home medications including ORS, zinc sulfate drops and erceflora.
In the interim, patient noted to have 5 episodes of loose bowel movements per day of mushy light green, non mucoid, non-bloody. Few hours prior to admission, patient had again loose bowel movements for 4 times. She was noted to be weak looking, irritable, accompanied by incessant crying which prompted consult again at the ER hence confinement
For growth and development history, patient is expected to do and achieve the following milestone appropriate for her age. We take note that the patients age is 1 year and 4 months which would fall under 15 months
At 15 mos she is expected to
-most commonly caused results of infections with bacterial, viral or parasitic pathogens
-many these are foodborne illnesses
Most common bacterial pathogens are Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter and yersinia
5 pathotypes of E. coli, 2 serogroups of Vibrio cholerae
foodborne illness due to their ability to produce emetic and/or enterotoxins include Bacillus cereus, Clostridium perfringens, and Staphylococcus aureus.
Important to note in the history are
Duration of diarrhea and a description of stools (frequency, amount, presence of blood or mucus)
vomiting (onset, amount and frequency)
fever (duration, magnitude), vomiting (onset, amount and frequency), and the amount and type of solid and liquid oral intake
Clinical signs of dehydration should be evaluated urine output (number of wet diapers per day and time since the last urination), whether eyes appear sunken, whether the child is active, whether the child drinks vigorously
Stool CS- are indicated in severe cases like shigella and salmonella
ABG - metabolic acidosis
BUN, Crea - poor UO
