Kevin Grove Medical Centre 53 Goma Road Kelvin Grove, Brisbane 14.10.09 The Duty Registrar Emergency Pediatric Unit Brisbane General Hospital 140 Grange Road Kelvin Grove, QLD, 4222 Dear Doctor: Re. Amina Ahmed (8years) I am writing to refer Amina who is presenting with signs and symptoms of meningococcal meningitis for urgent assessment and management. She is the first child of a family of 5, which includes her parents and two younger siblings. They are immigrants from Somalia, though she and her father understand English. Initially, accompanied by her parents, she presented to me on 9.10.10 with complaints of fever, runny nose, cough and loss of appetite. She was febrile with a temperature of 39.4 and a pulse rate of 85 beats per minute, but there was no rash or neck stiffness. However, her condition continued to deteriorate over the next two days as the fever could not be controlled by antipyretics. Therefore, blood and urine tests were ordered. Regrettably, today Amina became lethargic and listless. She vomited twice last night and had been having severe headaches. On examination, she was severely febrile with a temperature of 40.2 and a pulse rate of 110 beats per minute. There was macula-papular rash over the legs and neck stiffness was present. Blood test showed leucocytosis with a shift to the left. Based on the above, I believe she needs urgent admission and management. Please note, Penicillin IV has been given as a stat dose. Yours sincerely Dr. Lucy Irving 208 words
