A 16-month-old female is evaluated for complaints of fever over the past 24 hours with a Tmax of 102°F and dysuria. The child was born full term and does not have any significant past medical history. She has never been hospitalized or had any surgeries. Immunizations are up to date, currently not taking any medications except Tylenol for fever. There are no allergies. A urine specimen by sterile catheter is sent to the lab for urinalysis and culture. The office dipstick shows that her urine is positive for nitrites and 3+ for leukocytes. You diagnose her with UTI and prescribe trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for 10 days while waiting for the culture results. The child’s fever and symptoms resolve. What is the most appropriate course of action at this point?

The teacher of a 6-year-old refers the child to healthcare provider for an evaluation of frequent episodes of staring. The episodes occur daily and are brief, lasting no more than 5-8 seconds. There are typically several events per day. Occasionally, when the children are playing during recess, the child will stop their activity and exhibit a blank facial expression. The child picks at their clothing during these episodes. Following the event, the child resumes whatever activity previously engaged in. The mother states that she has not noticed any of these particular spells but notes that the child frequently “daydreams” during which the child is unresponsive to verbal stimuli. On reviewing the family history, it is discovered that there is a familial history of “seizures” unresponsive to medications. The mother herself recalls having similar “daydreaming episodes” as a child for which she was treated with medication until high school. Of note, there is a strong family history of depression. On physical examination of the child there is a large café au lait spot on the posterior thorax. The cranial nerve examination is unremarkable and there is equal strength in both the upper and lower extremities with deep tendon reflexes symmetric at 2+ of 4. The gait is normal. What is the MOST likely diagnosis?
