Isabelle is a four-year-old girl who lives with her mother and father in a rural community in
country in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region. The family is of working class and their
neighborhood is facing problems involving poor sanitation. She is an active child who loves to
play outside with her older sister and brother. Saturday, Isabelle and her family spend a day at a
lake near their home for a family reunion. All 52 members of the extended family attended the
gathering. Isabelle went swimming with her siblings and cousins while the adults prepared the
picnic. The children got out of the water when Isabelles mother called them when lunch was
ready. The next day, Sunday, Isabelle woke with a fever and throughout the day she developed
abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea. By the end of the day, Isabelle would not eat or drink
anything because she was having watery diarrhea and her tummy hurt so bad. All she wanted to
do was snuggle with her mom and sleep. Her father brought her to the hospital in a city thats 30
minutes away from their community. The doctor diagnosed Isabelle to having a stomach bug.
Her father received medication to ease her symptoms. The doctor advised him to bring her back
in five days if her symptoms dont improve. Isabelles parents brought her back to the hospital the
next days later with worsening symptoms- she will not eat or drink, continues to have watery
diarrhea, and is very weak. Isabelle is admitted to the hospital and a stool sample is sent for
pathology.
