■Summary：
Despite dramatic reductions in child mortality globally over the past decades, millions of children continue to die each year, particularly in low and middle-income settings. Current guidelines focus on acute syndromic identification and management of illness in children. This is despite the fact that about half of all child deaths following acute illness happen after discharge. Emerging data suggest that many children presenting with acute illness in these settings have underlying social and biological vulnerabilities that are independent of disease syndrome and persist long after hospital discharge. In this talk, Dr. Walson will present data supporting a fundamental shift in the identification and management of children presenting with acute illness in low and middle-income countries.
