Abstract:
Emergency physicians often deal with diagnostically elusive cases that may present repeatedly over the course of illness. The infant presented here had a chronic history, prompting multiple physician contacts for initially seemingly common problems. Assessing the patient's progression of symptoms over time and eliciting a brief developmental history in the emergency department (ED) helped guide decision-making toward admission and appropriate diagnostic workup.
