oh my God!
lesson for parents always deworm your children every three months.

olrotimi:
This patient presented to my clinic with inability to stool and complete loss of appetite for 8 days prior to presentation.
Examination findings significantly revealed moderate palor with overt signs of malnutrition. Abdomen was moderately distended with a tympanic note.
A supportive diagnosis of intestinal obstruction secondary to helminthiasis was entertained and patient was admitted and placed on albendazole stat dose among other medications.
3hours later, the nurses alerted me and this was what I found...........

olrotimi:

As in ehn, hospitals should provide free facilities for deworming children under 5.

indigene:

Such services are free in all government and rural health centres 0-6yrs and 60+ in Rivers State under Amaechi a carry over from Odili

olrotimi:

I guess it should rather be a national programme, more like the guinea worm eradication programme.

TCD:


hello. did this child end up having surgery or the obstruction abated after the antihelminth therapy. Also like how many worms were excreted.
