Abstract

A key focus after solid organ transplant is to return to baseline activities as soon as possible. Children are no different and often return to day care and school within a few weeks after discharge. They are exposed to a variety of childhood illnesses and often present to an emergency department for care. Distinguishing between typical pediatric illnesses and transplant-related complications can be challenging. This case describes an encounter involving a 14-month-old liver transplant recipient and highlights the importance of awareness of the complex health care maintenance needs in this population.
