Aspirin use in a child with suspected rheumatoid arthritis led to acute gastritis, followed by encephalopathy and liver dysfunction. This case highlights potential aspirin toxicity in pediatric patients.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Toxicology
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is sometimes used for its anti-inflammatory properties in pediatric rheumatology.
  • The use of aspirin in children requires careful consideration due to potential adverse effects.

Observation:

  • A 5.5-year-old male child presented with acute gastritis, abdominal pain, and vomiting.
  • The child was receiving aspirin for suspected rheumatoid arthritis.

Findings:

  • The patient subsequently developed signs of encephalopathy, characterized by altered mental status.
  • Laboratory investigations revealed significant alterations in liver function tests.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential for aspirin-induced liver injury and encephalopathy in children.
