title: Differential diagnosis: a case study.
abstract: Health care professionals who care for neonates must be able to recognize early signs/symptoms that suggest acute illness. Such early recognition and appropriate management may improve outcome. This article presents a case study and permits the reader to evaluate data and make decisions about diagnoses and treatment. Current research-based approaches to management are also discussed.
