What are the challenges in early detection of infections in pediatrics?
Challenges in early detection of infections in pediatrics include:
- Non-specific symptoms: Many infections present with non-specific symptoms that can be mistaken for other conditions. - Communication barriers: Younger children may have difficulty articulating their symptoms. - Variability in presentation: Infections can present differently in children compared to adults, making diagnosis more complex. - Access to care: Limited access to healthcare services can delay diagnosis and treatment.
