A few days ago, he had loose stools, without blood or mucus, associated with low-grade fever. He has no history of significant illness, allergies, respiratory symptoms, weight loss, sick contacts, or travel. He is not taking any medications. He lives with his mother, aunt, three siblings, four cousins, and two dogs in a rural area that has city water and sewage. He frequently plays outside the house.
