Failure To Thrive Infant From: Roberta Speyer (roberta.speyer@OBGYN.net) Mon Mar 31 22:17:38 1997 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Kelly Shanahan: "Re: Stress and Pregnancy" Previous message: Kelly Shanahan: "Re: GNRH agonists and adenomyosis" I saw this message on a Ped List I belong to. If anyone has any ideas I would be glad to forward them or you can send them directly. -- ============= I am a resident assisting in taking care of an infant who presented at 2 mo with failure to thrive, vomiting and irritability. After much investigation, we have come up with several aspects of his illness. He has abnormal d-xylose absorption (less tha 1/2 of normal), abnormal fat absorption (heavy fecal fat), and, on EGD, flat intestinal villi and significant blunting or absence of microvilli. He is currently being maintained on hyperalimentation due to his poor absorptive ability. I have searched on medline and found little to help me. If any of you have any experience with any cases bearing any similarity to this child's case, please write back.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
