What Causes Diarrhea With Blood , Fever And Vomiting?

Hi, may I ansA 4 year old girl presents at the emergency room with bloody diarrhea, fever and vomitting. The child s mother reports that the child has had these symptoms for about 24 hours and she has not passed any urine for about 12 hours. The child is enrolled in a day care and the group had recently made a field trip to a fast food place to learn about different jobs. The children had a lunch of ground beef, fries, and cola after the meeting with different workers. This field trip was 4 days earlier on Friday. The child had a temperature of 390C and showed physical signs of dehyrdation. Blood samples drawn showed evidence of greatly reduced kidney function and lysed red blood cells. What is your diagnosis? wer your health queries right now ?

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi,

By what you say this looks like acute dysentery bacterial infection. She will require antibiotic therapy with Cefixime and keep her well hydrated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
