A 5-year-old girl was admitted for dehydration due to gastroenteritis. The patient had been seen in the pediatrician’s office and was treated for gastroenteritis, but the patient’s family brought her to the emergency department when she became increasingly lethargic and weak. Intravenous fluids were administered for rehydration, and the patient was admitted for treatment of dehydration. During the two-day hospital stay, the patient’s gastroenteritis was also treated, but the focus of her treatment was to correct her dehydrated status. The pediatrician noted that the patient would not have been admitted for treatment of the noninfectious gastroenteritis alone.
