Case 2: Infection and Liver
Impairment
Joylie Herd
Age 3
Jouylie Herd is a 3-year-old born to
a drug addicted mother. At birth,
she contracted Hepatitis B from her
mother who unknowingly had the
virus. Joylie has lacked
preventative healthcare, including
routine immunizations. She attends
an unlicensed daycare while her
mother, Jill, a single parent works
at the local supermarket as a
cashier. The daycare recently had an outbreak of Hepatitis A and is
under investigation. Jill has been clean and sober for six months. Jill
is proud if her sobriety and the fact that she and Joylie now live in
an apartment rather than the shelter. Joylie is brought into the clinic
by her mother for flu-like symptoms including poor appetitis and a
‘tummy ache.’ She’s been running a low-grade temperature. Jill
says, “she hasn’t been her usual active self and is napping a lot.”
