ABSTRACT
A 31-month-old girl with trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) was seen in the emergency department of pediatrics because of oxygen desaturation associated with features of lower respiratory tract infections. She was born at full term and diagnosed with congenital heart disease (CHD) having ventricular septal defect (VSD), and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA); consequently, she underwent corrective surgery after adequate optimization of treatment. Incidentally, she was detected to have the presence of anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies. In this case report, we mainly focus on the multi-modal approach to medical and surgical management.
