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.

- Female patient whose is a 13-year-old, was admitted to the hospital with complaints of progressive weakness and shortness of breath with minimal physical effort. She has experienced recurrent fevers reaching 38.8°C. Physical examination reveals a well developed teenage with good nutritional status and in no acute distress. There is no lymphadenopathy or organomegaly. Many petechial hemorrhages cover her chest and legs. Several bruises are found on her legs and thighs. Laboratory tests were ordered upon admission. The laboratory tests result were as the following: RBC 2.24 X1012 /1 Hb 71 g/l 24% 8.0 X10/1 PCV Plt WBC 1.2 X109/1 Differential Segmented Neutrophils Lymphocytes Monocytes Reticulocyte count 2% 94% 4% 0.7% She was referred to a hematologist who ordered a bone marrow examination.

His left leg is in a cast, and he states that 1 week ago he was in an automobile crash and broke his upper leg. Since that time, he has had difficulty “getting around” and has mostly been lying on the couch watching television. On the evening of admission he noticed a sudden onset of dyspnea and chest pain. He denies having orthopnea, cough, hemoptysis, or wheezing. He smoked two packs of cigarettes a day for 19 years but quit 3 years ago. The ABG analysis of Mr. H suggests uncompensated respiratory alkalosis with mild hypoxemia, with base excess of -1 in her arterial side, whereas -4 in her venous side. Part 1: Her actual arterial-venous oxygen content difference (Ca-vO2) is 5.31 mL/dL. (Normal range considered here is 3.5 to 5 mL/dL) Part 2: Patient's actual oxygen extraction ratio (O2ER) was 29%.
