To determine:
What is the presumptive diagnosis? How can the doctor confirm the diagnosis. Describe the possible treatment for the child. Were the parents irresponsible for not immunizing their child? Is it likely that the infant caught the disease from his older brother? If so, why did the older child not display signs of respiratory distress?
Case summary:
A ten-month-old child has cyanosis and he is taken to the hospital emergency room by women in January. Mother told that he had a fever, runny nose, slight cough, and increasing breathing trouble. He does not have the bronchial diseases. Baby’s mother told that his brother (5 years) is recovering from cold-like symptoms.
