Browse Hierarchy ICM7219: The Child with a Dermatological, Endocrine, or Renal Problem

This module covers common dermatological, renal, and endocrine presentations to ED. Paediatric rashes range from the mild/benign to the life-threatening. In the first part of the module students will cover common dermatological presentations, including non-blanching rashes, viral exanthems, vasculitis, and eczema, exploring the recognition of rashes on different skin tones. In the second part the focus will be on renal presentations including urinary tract infections, nephrotic syndrome, haemolytic-uraemic syndrome, renal vein thrombosis, and glomerulonephritis. The final part will focus on endocrine presentations including diabetes mellitus, hypoglycaemia, and thyroid problems. Please note, this module does not seek to provide students with clinical training in paediatric emergency medicine, but rather to provide an understanding of specific issues relevant to neonatal and adolescent presentations.
