Nutrition for the Clinician: A Perfect Storm in a Pandemic – A Child with Complex Medical History and Special Diet Encounters COVID

To educate physicians and other health professionals on the fundamentals of nutrition, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition launched a new article series titled ‘Nutrition for the Clinician’. The effort supports the White House National Strategy on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health and its directives to expand nutrition knowledge of health care providers. Through case-based learning, ‘Nutrition for the Clinician’ provides continuing education that enhances clinical reasoning and use of the best nutrition evidence in practice. Each clinical case will feature a clearly identified nutrition problem and defined learning objectives and be published in the journal s regular issues periodically throughout the year. Titled ‘A Perfect Storm in a Pandemic A Child with Complex Medical History and Special Diet Encounters COVID’, the inaugural case highlights a six-year-old child with under nutrition and acute COVID-19 infection. Authors Nancy Krebs, MD and Stephanie Waldrop, MD of the University of Colorado provide medical history, laboratory results, and clinical findings and offer commentary and questions to guide readers through the case. The authors analyze the differential diagnosis and treatment considerations at the outset and reassess them as new data emerges over the course of care.
