Hypernatremic dehydration - a case series
Abstract
Hypernatremic dehydration manifests
typically in neonates in the first 2 weeks
of life. The common risk factors for it include
primi-parity, anxious elderly mother
with lactation problems, caesarean delivery
and early discharge. Most of these
babies are seen during the summer
months. The common presenting features
include excessive weight loss, hyperthermia,
jaundice, lethargy and poor
feeding. We present herewith the clinical
characteristics and the challenges we
encountered in managing 27 babies with
Hypernatremic dehydration.
