Abstract
Gastroenteritis is a common illness in the pediatric population. Clinicians must be able to recognize severe disease in the milieu of common presentations. All forms of gastroenteritis can lead to significant dehydration and sequelae when considering causes. However, severe complications can occur with certain bacterial etiologies. We present a case of pediatric enterohemorrhagic colitis leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation and patient demise.Entities:
