(lovely title, I know)
Had a question that said a young boy(I think around 5) comes in with a history of bloody diarrhea. What is the cause?
Didn't give any other history info as to if he'd eaten anything or anything else. No vitals.
Had answers A-J, so its either just a 'most common' cause question, or just really easy and I'm not seeing it.
They had listed, Meckel's diver., shigella, rotavirus.......
I put Meckel's but only reasonably guessed.
Is there some obvious most common cause of bloody diarrhea in otherwise healthy children???
