child having high grade fever, a case of Thalassemia, with deranged LFt(SGPT - 184), with loose stools with decreasing platelet count goes in favour of either Enteric fever or Viral hepatitis(could be transfusion induced). Dont transfuse blood at this point, the child might have to be admitted and might require antibiotic therapy. Take a pediatric consultation asap as the child might develop sepsis later on.
