THIS CHILD IS CASE OF INFECTIVE HEPATITIS AND IN EARLY STAGE THEY PRESENT AS A DIARRHEA
YOUR CHILD SHOULD UNDER GO FOR THE COMPLETE LIVER FUNCTION TEST AND SHOULD BE TESTED FOR DIFFERENT HEPATITIS VIRUS (A,B,C,E), TORCH AND FOR BACTERIAL INFECTION
AS YOUR CHILD HAS VERY HIGH SGPT WHICH REQUIRES HOSPITAL ADMISSION BECAUSE AT ANY TIME IT MAY GO FOR FULMINANT FAILURE
THANK YOU
