Abstract
First Hospitalization. Fifteen years ago, at age 24, this white woman was first hospitalized for diffuse abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Symptoms which began 24 hours prior to admission persisted but did not escalate in quality or na-ture.There was no associated hematemesis, food intolerance, melena, hematochezia, or change in her chronic constipation relieved by over-the-counter laxatives. Past medical history was notable only for an uncomplicated appendectomy 10 years previously.
