Tristan is a lively little boy who attends daily day-care. He has severe allergies so his parents have not allo to receive the usual childhood vaccination series for fear of a severe reaction. For the last few days he has ha & swollen throat, fever & won't eat. Inside his mouth a greyish slime, a type of membrane, can be seen at the his throat . His parents take him to Urgent Care . 1. What's your disease diagnosis ? 2. What treatment should be used to combat the effects of toxemia? 3. Why would this tx be a particular challenge for this little boy?

The new coronavirus kills by inflaming and clogging the tiny air sacs in the lungs, choking off the body's oxygen supply until it shuts down the organs essential for life.
But clinicians around the world are seeing evidence that suggests the virus also may be causing heart inflammation, acute kidney disease, neurological malfunction, blood clots, intestinal damage and liver problems. That development has complicated treatment for the most severe cases of covid-19, the illness caused by the virus, and makes the course of recovery less certain, they said.
