WEEK 3: The case should be pediatric (a patient age 17 years or younger).

WEEK 3 specific guidelines:  The case must not be something overly simple. The list of things that should not be covered include sore throat, URI, UTI, ear infection, or contact dermatitis (poison ivy).  You need to present a case that intrigued you or presents new content in a different light.  *One of the above diagnosis can be presented if the findings were unusual and you clear such case with your course faculty prior to posting (at least 2 days before posting). In the pediatric case you must also include in the objective data growth chart percentiles for height, weight, and BMI, and tanner staging.  A patient you saw both for initial complaint and follow-up would be ideal, but not required.
