What is MELAS
- mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes)
- childhood-onset myopathy, seizures, recurrent vomiting, migrainous headaches, sensorineural hearing loss, stroke-like episodes associated with periods of regression
What is Menkes disease
- copper transport disorder
- infants appear developmentally normal until approximately 2 to 3 months of age followed by progressive developmental regression, low tone, feeding difficulties, failure to thrive, and seizures.
- “kinky,” and hypopigmented hair.
- low copper and ceruloplasmin levels.
When to give measles immunoglobulin?
-Infants younger than 6 months, pregnant women, individuals with immunocompromising conditions, or individuals who received a previous dose less than 28 days prior
- high risk pts for PCV13 and PPSV23 vac schedule
In children aged 6 through 18 years at high risk of pneumococcal disease who have not received any doses of PCV13 or PPSV23, administration of 1 dose of PCV13 followed by 1 dose of PPSV23 at least 8 weeks later and a second dose of PPSV23 5 years after the first is recommended
