Kyle (MS4) leads Arman (MS4) and Adam (MS3) through a case he had of a four month old girl with bloody diarrhea coming to the pediatric emergency room. How would approach this case? As always, we learn a couple very important points (like whether to send them home or not) about one etiology of peds bloody diarrhea, and you can check out a great approach to blood in a diaper on the EM Clerkship podcast, and here’s a great reference for peds bloody stool in the ED from Peds EM Morsels.
