Patient's question:
The child has been treated at the village health clinic for a week with diarrhea that hasn't improved. Now, they want to go to the hospital for examination and treatment, but they don't even know what tests to undergo. Why is this child's condition so difficult to treat? I hope someone can provide some guidance. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, children with diarrhea need a blood test. Stool microscopy: malabsorption may show fat droplets or a small amount of mucus, while enteritis may show white blood cells, occasionally red blood cells and phagocytes. Fungal enteritis can be seen with fungal spores and hyphae, and pathogens can be isolated through culture. Timely examination of the condition is necessary for symptomatic treatment.
