Visual diagnosis: perceived fevers and back pain in a 1-week-old Infant.

摘要

A 7-day-old female infant presents to the emergency department with the complaints of perceived back pain and subjective fevers. Her mother also describes unexplained skin color changes to her infant's back and shoulders. For the past 2 days, the mother had noticed that her infant was fussy and would cry when her back was touched. She has no other systemic symptoms, no sick contacts, and no known history of trauma. The mother has no reported history of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection or colonization. This is the first time the mother has sought medical attention for her baby since discharge from the newborn nursery.
