a lesson learned

meningitis doesn't cause peticheal rash. i was grilled for that!!!

meningococcal septicaemia causes them. speak the rite words, then they'll be pleased.

and today i saw a couple of interesting cases such as a child with rickets. the classic bow leg appearance is there. the treatment is a lifelong supply of vitamin D.


also, there's a child presented with febrile neutropenia. he has ALL.
