Learning Disability Week Case 2 Q1

1- Children with Down syndrome are at the same level of risk with regards to serious illness as any other children, so should be managed in the same way

2- Children are often “not their normal self” when unwell and in a strange environment, so this statement is not helpful

3 – Children with Down syndrome may present with atypical or nonspecific symptoms when critically unwell

4- Children with Down syndrome may have difficulty controlling their temperature and peripheral vascular resistance, and so may not show the typical signs of fever, tachycardia and delayed capillary refill when unwell

5 – Children with Down syndrome who have no other comorbidities (e.g. cardiac anomalies) have no increased risk of sepsis
