Diferencial de diagnóstico para heces fecales fetidas en niños de 2 años

  • Diagnóstico más probable:
    • Infección gastrointestinal por bacterias o virus, como la giardiasis o la infección por rotavirus, que pueden causar diarrea y heces malolientes.
  • Otros diagnósticos probables:
    • Intolerancia a la lactosa o a otros carbohidratos, que puede llevar a la fermentación y la producción de heces con mal olor.
    • Síndrome del intestino irritable, que puede causar cambios en los hábitos intestinales y la calidad de las heces.
    • Infección por parásitos, como los oxiuros, que pueden causar irritación intestinal y heces malolientes.
  • No debes perder de vista (diagnósticos potencialmente mortales):
    • Infección por Clostridioides difficile, que puede causar diarrea severa y complicaciones graves si no se trata adecuadamente.
    • Enfermedad de Crohn o colitis ulcerosa, que pueden causar síntomas gastrointestinales graves y requieren un diagnóstico y tratamiento oportunos.
  • Diagnósticos raros:
    • Deficiencia de enzimas digestivas, como la deficiencia de lactasa o sacarasa, que pueden causar problemas de digestión y heces malolientes.
    • Enfermedades metabólicas, como la fenilcetonuria, que pueden causar cambios en la calidad de las heces y requerir un diagnóstico y tratamiento especializados.
