حالة سريرية
الوصف الكامل Background
A mother brought her 4-year-old son to the pediatrician. She said that the personnel at the daycare center had complained that the child was irritable, hyperactive and inattentative to learning activities. The mother had also observed restlessness, disturbed sleep, and some loss of appetite.
The medical record indicated the child's birth and development were normal; there was no history of unusual disease and the present physical examination presented no obvious abnormalities. In talking with the child, perianal itching and resultant scratching were admitted.
