3. SAQ (2) Flashcards
Primary Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PPTB)
- It includes Primary Complex and Tuberculosis of Tracheobronchial Lymphonodus
- The main type of TB in children
Primary Complex of PPTB
- Primary lesion
- Enlarged lymph node
- Linking lymphangitis exist at the same time
Primary Syndrome of PPTB
- Tubercule bacillus enter lung to form Primary Lesion
- Parts of TB invade the lymph node through lymphatic vessels to cause
caseous necrosis - Primary lesion, enlarged lymph node and the linking lymphangitis exist at
the same time
Tetralogy of Fallot (Malformation + Complication)
- A congenital heart condition involving four abnormalities occurring together
- The 4 Malformations of TOF include
o Overriding aorta
o Pulmonic stenosis
o Ventricular septal defect
o Right ventricular hypertrophy - Most common cyanosis in CHD
- Complications include Cerebral Thrombosis, Brain Abscess, Bacterial
Endocarditis
Age Group and the Characters
- Fetal period – formation of Embryo/Zygote to birth of fetus, usually 280 days
- Perinatal period – 28th week of gestation – 1 week after birth
- Neonatal period – 0 to <28 days from tying umbilical cord to 28 days
- Perinatalperiod–28weeksofgestationto7daysafterbirth
- Infancy – 0- <1 year including Neonatal Period; from Birth to one year of age
- Toddler/earlychildhood–1yearto<3years
- Preschool age/early school age – 3 years to 6-7 years before entering primary
school - Schoolage–6-7yearsofagetostartingofadolescencephase(pre-puberty)
- Adolescence/puberty
- Boys – age 13-14 yrs to 18-20 yrs
- Girls – age 11-12 yrs to 17-18 yrs
- 2yr to 4yr variable among individuals
Introduction to Neonatalogy
- Newborn – a recently born infant in 1st few hours of life
- Neonate – infant in 1st 28 days of life
- Perinatal period – period b/w 28 weeks of gestation age to 1 week after
birth - Live-born – signs of life after birth
- Still born – no sign of life at delivery in fetus at 28 weeks gestation or
greater - Preterm (very/moderate/late) – gestational age less than 37 weeks
- Fullterm – 37 weeks to less than 42 weeks
- Postterm – 42 weeks or more
Development of Pediatrics
- Establish medical institutes
- Monitoring of Growth and Development
- Screening of Congenital Hereditary Diseases
- Vaccine Inoculation
- Prevention and Treatment of common diseases
Indicators of Physical Growth
- Weight
- Recumbent length and standing height
- Sitting height
- Headcircumference
- Chest circumference
- Upperarmcircumference
- Subcutaneous fat
Dental Development
- Deciduous teeth (20) eruption in 4-10 months old
- Permanent teeth (32)
- Eruption of Deciduous teeth – 4-10 months old
- Erupt completely – 2.5 years old
- Individual differences
Response to Disease
- In some cases (infection, anemia) the liver, lymph nodes and spleen may resume their hematopoietic function
- May cause these organs to increase in size substantially
Vaccination Schedule
- Birth – BCG, hepatitis B
- 1 month – hepatitis B
- 2 months – TOPV (trivalent oral polio virus)
- 3 months – TOPV, DTP (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis)
- 4 months – TOPV, DTP
- 5 months – DTP
- 6 months – Hepatitis B
- 8 months – measles
Tuberculin Test
Test procedure
- Intracutaneous injection 0.1ml purified protein derivative (PPD) containing 5
tuberculin unit
- Palmar surface of Left Forearm at lower-middle 1/3 juncture to form a wheal
with diameter of 6-10mm
- Observe reaction result after 48-72hrs determine diameter of local
induration
- Take average diameter from vertical one and horizontal one to judge rxn.
intensity
Difference between Inoculation reaction and Natural Infectious Reaction

Clinical Significance of Positive (+) Reaction
- Inoculated with BCG before, caused by artificial immunity
- Without clinical symptoms suggests Tuberculosis Infection but without
Active Lesion - <3 yrs old, especially without inoculation of BCG, indicates new tuberculosis
lesion, the younger the higher possibility of Active Tuberculosis - Strong positive suggests active tuberculosis in the body
- Recent infection
o Change from (-) to (+)
o Or rxn strength change from <10mm to >10mm and extent of
increase >6mm
Clinical Significance of Negative (-) Reaction
- No history of TB infection
- Prior period of TB allergic rxn (4-8 weeks after Initial Infection)
- False negative rxn. Caused by Low or Suppressed immunological rxn. Of the
body
Indication of ORS (Oral Rehydration Salt) Application
ORS is to children with Mild to Moderate dehydration
1. Mild Dehydration
- 50-80ml/kg for first 8-12 hours to replenish prior losses
- 1 dose/5-10 mins; 10-20ml/dose
2. Moderate Dehydration
- 80-100 ml/kg for first 8-12 hours to replenish prior losses
