Question
Dear doctors, my doubt is about a patient having hepatosplenomegaly(liver span-12 cms,spleen-5 cms) with no identifiable cause. All infective & metabolic investigations are negative. No history of fever. As such the child had only come for parietal wall abscess and this was only incidental finding. child has bilateral cervical lymph nodes,mild ascites. Also he is on antibiotics & abscess has drained. The child is asymptomatic. How do I proceed with this case?? Thanking you.
Answer
Rule out HIV, chronic liver disease and hemolytic anemia.
