Just found this whilst browsing around for other information and thought that I would post:

 

Illness and Stress Management:

Non-Crisis -- The child is alert and able to take medications and fluids by mouth; needs 2 to 3 times the usual dosage of hydrocortisone by mouth:

• Infection usually with fever > 101° F
• Trauma more than a scratch
• Minor surgical or dental procedure
• Mild upset stomach, infrequent vomiting or mild diarrhea

Crisis -- The child looks sick and cannot take medications and fluids by mouth; needs injectable hydrocortisone of at least three times the child's usual dose without delay and intravenous fluids:

• Infection with or without high fever
• Poor appetite
• Major trauma requiring surgical intervention
• Elective major surgery requiring general anesthesia
• Frequent vomiting and severe diarrhea

Surgical Treatment:

• The fertility rate in females with CAH depends on how well the condition is treated and how successful surgery is at restoring normal structure and function.
• The conventional corrective surgery approach is done in two stages:
  1. the first between one to three months of age;
  2. the second after two years of age but prior to pre-menstrual age.

the whole of that abstract ccan be found at:
