CASE
General Data:
Name: S.J
Age: 16 y/o
Birthday: December 24, 2007
Civil Status: Single
Address: Sibalom, Antique
Religion: Roman Catholic

Date of Admission: May 4, 2024
Time of Admission: 7:30 PM
Chief Complaint : “Jaundice and Fever”
History of Present Illness:
13 days prior to admission, patient had onset of cervical bilateral lymphadenopathies,
tender to touch, no note of fever, no other signs and symptoms associated. No medications
taken, no consult was done.
12 days prior to admission, patient had sudden onset of intermittent fever with
maximum temperature of 38०C, patient took Paracetamol 1 tablet with note of slight relief. In
the interim, there was persistence of intermittent fever with a maximum temperature of 38०C
usually occurring at night. No other medications taken, no consult was done.
4 days prior to admission, due to persistence of intermittent fever, now associated with
tea colored urine patient sought consult with PP, and was requested with the following
laboratories: CBC, which revealed (+) leukocytosis and (+) lymphocytosis, Urinalysis which
revealed glucosoria (2+), and Leukocytosis (WBC 10-25). Patient was then managed as a case of
Urinary Tract Infection and was given the following medications: 1. Cefuroxime 500mg BID,
2. Omeprazole 40mg OD pre breakfast.
3 days prior to admission, there was onset of epigastric pain rated 7/10 upon palpation,
not aggravated nor relieved by food intake, associated with bloatedness, occasional retching,
icteric sclerae, decrease in appetite, and persistence of intermittent fever. No vomiting, no loose
stools, no other signs and symptoms associated. Patient made a teleconsult to PP via SMS, and
was requested with SGPT which revealed 474.6 U/L elevated and whole abdomen ultrasound.
2 days prior to admission, now with onset of generalized jaundice, still with
intermittent fever, whole abdomen ultrasound was done revealing: Diffuse Hepatocellular
Disease with Mild Hepatomegaly, Mild splenomegaly. Patient was subsequently admitted at a
tertiary hospital (AMC) where other laboratories were requested. Patient was started with
Ceftriaxone (37mkday) 2 g IV OD x 3 days, Omeprazole 40mg 1 cap OD pre BF and Paracetamol
500mg 1 tab q6H PRN for fever.
1 day prior to admission at her 2nd hospital day, still with persistence of above
mentioned signs and symptoms, patient was referred to Gastro - IM and was requested with
Whole Abdominal CT Scan, other laboratories were taken revealing persistence of glucosuria in
urinalysis, FBS and HbA1C elevated. Patient was started with Metronidazole 40 mg IV q8H x 6
doses, UDCA 500mg OD x 3 days, Insulin 5 units -STAT, maintained on Biphasic insulin SQ (12
units Pre BF; 6 units Pre- Dinner), with CBG monitoring. Patient was then referred to Gastro -
Pedia.
On the day of admission, due to unavailability of Gastro - Pedia at the said hospital,
patient was referred and brought to this institution for further management.
