Infectious Diseases Specialist 's  Response
HI,

I think in this situation the most possible and urge diagnosis is appendicitis and after this parasites. You need to perform an abdominal echo, blood test to see the WBC, and surgery consultation and after parasite stool and Infectious diseases specialist consultation.

I hope my answer help you. I wish your daughter a quick recovery. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
