A 3-day-old infant who has not passed meconium since delivery is being transferred to a regional medical center from an outlying hospital. Rectal stimulation and an enema had no results. The parents are anxious for a diagnosis. Upon arrival, a pediatric surgeon examines the infant, attempts rectal stimulation again, and is able to produce a meconium stool. He does not believe the child has an underlying primary intestinal issue but suspects cystic fibrosis. While awaiting the newborn screening results, a pediatric pulmonologist is consulted.
