Noah-6 years old, was brought back to his pediatrician three
weeks following a streptococcal throat infection. His mother was
worried that the Strep infection had not cleared up as the child
was still complaining of a sore throat and had been very lethargic.
The physician noted that the child looked quite pale. The child's
throat was still red, although the pus and petechiae previously
noted with the Strep infection were absent. Ears and chest appeared
to be clear although the child cried and seemed to be in pain when
the doctor pressed on the sternum. Upon further examination, the
physician noted that the child's spleen felt slightly enlarged, as
did the lymph nodes. He noted that the child had multiple bruises
over his lower extremities.
