Treatment is IV acyclovir for 21 days for CNS disease and 14 days for isolated
Also recommended that they receive oral suppressive treatment for 6 months, should be monitored for acyclovir associated neutropenia

increases SVR and diastolic blood pressure
improving coronary perfusion
0.1-03ml/kg of 0.1ml/mg concentration
GALD
Immune mediated, sporadic occurrence
Maternal antibodies crossing the placenta and binding to hepatocytes inducing fetal liver injury
If previous child, risk of recurrence is 80-90% mother can get weekly IVIG 14 weeks, 16 weeks and then weekly at 18 weeks to lower clinical manifestations
liver biopsy will show hepatic necrosis
Diagnosis: Liver injury and can have extra hepatic source of siderosis (iron deposition) and can do salivary gland biopsy.
Clinical symptoms: Manifests as hypoglycemia and coaugulopathy a few hours after birth. Elevated Ferritin, Elevated AFP. Low AST/ALT.

neonatal cholestatis with bile duct paucity
congenital hear disease with peripheral pulmonary stenosis being the most common
dysmorphic facies
ocular posterior embryotoxin
renal and intracranial lesions
Glutamine
Glutamine is a primary substrate for enterocytes and is a primitive growth factor for intestinal cells.
CDH
With use of ultrasound most cases identified 16-24 weeks gestation
LHR is most reliable between 22-26 weeks gestation and observed to expected LHR < 25% is associated with less than 30% survival whereas >46% with more than 85% survival
fluid filled stomach in thorax
Disorders of abnormal UGT
Gilbert is decreased activity
Crigler is absent UGT
liver biopsy showing
Multinucleated giant cells
Neonatal idiopathic hepatitis
liver biopsy showing
Bile duct proliferation
Biliary Atresia
liver biopsy showing
necrotizing duct lesions
sclerosis cholangitits
liver biopsy showing intrahepatocytic globules
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
neonates can have severe liver disease due to protein misfiling and accumulation in the liver, this may resolve spontaneously
17% require transplantation
Biliary Atresia
Normal ultrasound does not rule out, needs intraoperative
50% need liver transplant before the age of 2
total bilirubin 3 months after Kasai is a reliable marker for transplant
10% may have other malformations
Choledochal cyst
Most are diagnosed in childhood jaundice and palpable abdominal mass
After resection risk of malignancy remains elevated
At risk for cholangitits after treatment
Hemaphogocytic Lyphohistocytosis
Low NK cell activity
Increase IL 2
Persistent febrile, splenomegaly, cytopenia, hypofibrinogen, hypertriglycerides, hyperferritin,hemophagocytosis,
Treatment is stem cell transplant
Hirshprung’s Disease
Rectosigmoid ration <1 (normal >1 )
Failure of caudal migration of neural crest cells at 8-10 weeks
No ganglion cells in rectum on suction biopsy.
Fat soluble vitamins should be supplemented in neonates with cholestatis
Role of citruilline measure in short bowel
Citrulline is a marker of enterocyte hass and short bowel function
Probiotics
Good ones are Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium
Protein Digestion
PROTEIN
-pepsin
- trypsin and chemotrypsin (decrease in PT 6% and FT 29%)
PEPTIDES
- peptidases, dipeptidase (well developed)
A.A, dipeptides, small peptides (transport well develeped)
Fat Digestion
PT and FT have reduced bile salts and lipase
short chain and medium chain are directly absorbed and travel in portal vein
Ladd’s
Reducing the volvulus by turning the bowel in a counterclockwise fashion
Ladds bands
Appendectomy
Situating the bowel in the abdomen with the cecum in the left lower quadrant and the duodenum on the right
Silver-Russell Syndrome
Imprinting
IUGR
fifth finger clinodactyly
triangular face
micrognathia
Len length asymmetry
Trisomy 18
Second most common trisomy
1 in 7,900 live births
Low growth
microcephaly
short sternum
camptodatyly
nail hypoplasia
clenched hand posture
congenital heat disease (90%) septal defects, pda, poly valves
Renal and GU
Eye finding in Alagille
ocular posterior embryotoxin
anterior fontanelle
completely closes by 2 years
posterior fontanella
can be closed at birth
Mobius syndrome
Bilateral facial paresis
expresionless face
Early pre-eclampsia is due to
placental abnormalities that affects the fetus
Late preterm are at the highest risk for
jaundice
Listeria
small parenchyma yellow white pustules that correlate with mircoabscesses and necrosis
Quintero staging
TTTS
Stage I- oligo/poly with visible bladder
Stage II- oligo/poly without visible bladder
Stage III- oligo/poly with abnormal dopplers
Stage IV-oligo/poly with hydrops
Stage V- oligo/poly
Regardless of the type of procedure performed to treat, echocardiographic evidence of cardiomyopathy is greatest risk factor
Screening for DM
24-28 weeks
Progesterone role during pregnancy
assisting with quiescence of uterine myocardium, decreasing oxytocin receptors, increasing the stimulation threshold for contractions
there is decrease in progesterone levels prior to the labor
When to perform echocardiogram for PVC
-high frequency of PVC’s >60 PVC/hr
-persistence of PVC beyond 1-2 weeks of life
- cardiomegaly on CXR, or other cardiomyopathy
Neonatal Long QT
Calculate Qtc in leads II and V5
Qtc < 470 ms, but can be up to 0.49ms < 6 months of age
In long QT atria can contract but due to the long repol they will not be conducted
Causes of prolonged QT
Electrolytes: hypoMg, hypoCa, hypoK
Channelopathies genes include KCNQ1,KCNQ2, SCN5A, if found the family should be screened
Torsades
A malignant ventricular arrhythmia resulting from cell depolarization while the myocardium is still repol, treat with Mg sulfate.
