Tyrese, a 5-year-old Black male, presented in his usual state of health and weight to his pediatrician's office. He was described as an active child and participated in both sports and after-school activities. His parents described him as a picky eater, but his diet was generally well balanced. His mother's concern was her child's excessive consumption of fluids with associated nausea and intermittent complaints of stomach pain. She initially interpreted his symptoms as an indication of a viral infection, comforting him with antiemetics, soups, and fluids to keep him hydrated. His symptoms progressed to vomiting and frequent urination. After 48 hours, she drove him to the pediatrician for a sick visit, on her suspicion of a worsening case of stomach virus or flu. Tyrese's pediatrician carefully examined him and properly tested him for common viral and bacterial infections. Subsequent results were negative for COVID-19, influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and strep throat. Noting Tyrese's presentation and deteriorating condition at home, the pediatrician completed a point-of-care urine dipstick test, and the test was positive for glycosuria and ketonuria. He then recommended that Tyrese be urgently transported to the local hospital, as shortly after his physical examination and labs, his symptoms acutely progressed to rapid, deep breathing. Upon arrival to the emergency department (ED), and repeat physical exam and laboratory testing, he was transferred to pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) for close observation. The results of his physical examination and bloodwork include the findings shown in Table 1.
