Identifying Data: P.H.M. 5-year old, Male, Filipino, Islam and a resident of Upper Sagaan, Labangan,
Zamboanga Del Sur. He was admitted for the first time at Adventist Medical Center Iligan
as a referral from Pagadian City Medical Center last July 8, 2017 around 2:00 PM.

Informant and Percent Reliability: Patients Mother, 90%

Chief Complaint: Fever

History of Present Illness:


Present condition started 2 weeks prior to admission, as an onset of fever, Tmax undocumented,
intermittent, and associated only with generalized abdominal pain, no bowel movement and occasional non-
productive cough. No medications were taken but sought consult with a private physician and advised for
admission at Pagadian City Medical Center. Patient was then treated as a case of Urinary Tract Infection given with
unrecalled antibiotics. After 3 days of confinement, patient was discharged and advised for follow-up check-up after
a week. Then eight ( hours after discharge, there was recurrence of fever, Tmax undocumented, and parents self-
medicated with Paracetamol syrup (13 mkd) every 4 hours and provided temporary relief. Fever became
intermittent but patients parents tolerated the condition.
A week prior to admission, patient came back for follow-up check-up with still the persistence of fever,
abdominal pain and occasional non-productive cough. The parents were advised for readmission. Further testing
was done and revealed low hematocrit, hemoglobin, and red blood cell levels, leukocytosis, lymphocytopenia,
thrombocytosis and pleural effusion on right lung field. Patient was admitted for three (3) days with the following
medications: Paracetamol IV (10.6 mkd), Ceftriaxone (100 mkD), Gentamycin (2.1 mkD), Meropenem (23.9 mkD),
Salbutamol for nebulization and Acetylcysteine. The attending physician also advised that the patient would be
subjected for thoracentesis, however both parents refused and opted to be referred to Adventist Medical Center
Iligan for further evaluation and management, thus subsequently admitted.

Past Medical History:


Patient was hospitalized last 2016 due to Urinary Tract Infection with unrecalled medications. He had no
history of undergoing any surgical procedure. Patient had a known history of mumps 2 years ago but no other

eclampsia. She had been taking vitamin supplements like ferrous sulfate and calcium but had no tetanus toxoid
immunizations.
Patient was delivered via NSD, term, and cephalic presentation, at home assisted by a hilot on August 8,
2011. Birth weight unrecalled. No known complications after birth but no Newborn Screening was done.
