Scenario: An 8-month-old male infant is brought to the emergency room with a high fever (39°C), vomiting, abdominal distension and paleness. On clinical examination, the infant appears pale, lethargic and poorly reactive. The heart rate is 140/min, blood pressure 80/40 mmHg and respiratory rate 35/min. The abdomen is noted to be distended but without signs of an acute abdomen (soft on palpation). The stool history is normal, but the urine specimen is noted to be cloudy in colour. A urinary dipstick is positive for nitrites and registers pH 7.2.

On clinical examination, the infant appears pale, lethargic and poorly reactive. The heart rate is 140/min, blood pressure 80/40 mmHg and respiratory rate 35/min. The abdomen is noted to be distended but without signs of an acute abdomen (soft on palpation). The stool history is normal, but the urine specimen is noted to be cloudy in colour. A urinary dipstick is positive for nitrites and registers pH 7.2.File in questo prodotto:
