Primary Measles Encephalitis

Milap Mehta, MD*, Maegan Reynolds, MD^ and Jennifer Yee, DO*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J80S75 Issue 5:2 No ratings yet.
At the conclusion of the simulation session, learners will be able to: 1) Obtain a relevant focused history, including immunization status, associated symptoms, sick contacts, and travel history. 2) Develop a differential for fever, rash, and altered mental status in a pediatric patient. 3) Discuss management of primary measles encephalitis, including empiric broad spectrum antibiotics and antiviral treatment. 4) Discuss appropriate disposition of the patient from pediatric emergency departments, community hospitals, and freestanding emergency departments, including appropriate time to call for transfer and the appropriate time to transfer this patient during emergency department (ED)workup. 5) Review types of isolation and indications for each.

Case Report of Untreated Pediatric Femoral Neck Fracture with Osteopenia

Sha Yan, DO*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8S92K Issue 5:2 No ratings yet.
On her right hip radiograph, the patient was found to have a right femoral neck fracture with superior displacement of the intertrochanteric portion of the right femur. Moreover, the radiograph demonstrated diffuse osteopenia of the right hip and femur from chronic disuse as characterized by the increased radiolucency of the cortical bones compared to the left side.
