Examination checklists, model case presentations and quick-reference notes for the clinical exam, arranged by faculty.
Model reports — findings, differentials, investigations and management.
Acute gastroenteritis with severe dehydration
A sunken-eyed, lethargic 11-month-old after 3 days of watery stool — classifying dehydration the WHO way, Plan C with its two-stage timing, zinc and continued feeding, and the pitfalls that kill: cola, hypotonic fluids and antimotility drugs.
Sickle cell anaemia
A small, pale, jaundiced child with frontal bossing and no palpable spleen — presenting HbSS in steady state, the acute crises with their emergency orders, hydroxyurea and prophylaxis, stroke screening, and the ethics of refused transfusion.
Severe neonatal jaundice with acute bilirubin encephalopathy
A deeply jaundiced, lethargic neonate with a poor suck and retrocollis — how to present it, the causes common in Nigeria, the tests, and why exchange transfusion cannot wait.
