Q

Why are STDs more common in young women?

A

At this age, there are fewer protective antibodies in the vagina (compared to those in older women).
Another reason is the cervical ectropion which represents the transitional zone between the columnar and the squamous epithelium is not fully matured; cells in this zone are particularly susceptible to STDs, and the cervix is therefore easier to infect.

Q

Why are newborns more affected by unconjugated bilirubin?

A

they lack GI flora to metabolize bile and that allows the glucuronidase present in meconium to hydrolyze the conjugated bilirubin back to unconjugated. This bilirubin is then absorbed back into the blood stream where it binds to albumin

Q

What is Physiologic Jaundice of a Newborn?

A

Total bilirubin level < 15mg/dl, generally noticed on the 3rd day of life. Can be caused by: increased bilirubin production (from red cell hemolysis), relative deficiency of hepatocyte proteins and UDPGT, lack of intestinal flora to metabolize bile, high levels of B-glucuronidase in meconium and minimal oral intake

Q

What is ABO mismatch, ABO incompatibility, and ABO set-up?

A

An ABO mismatch between the mother and the infant is present in 20% of pregnancies.
ABO incompatibility occurs when the mother has blood group O, the baby has blood group A or B, and the direct Coombs test is positive.
If the direct Coombs test is negative, the condition is often referred to as an “ABO set-up” and although not impossible it is an uncommon cause of hemolysis and jaundice.

Q

What is asymmetric IUGR and what causes it?

A

It is a greater decrease in the size of the length and/or weight without affecting head circumference (head sparing). It can be caused by poor delivery of nutrition to the fetus (smoking)

Q

Tell me some stuff about neuroblastoma

A

The most frequently diagnosed neoplasm in infants; more than half of patients present before age 2.
The tumor may present as a painless mass in the neck, chest, or abdomen.
Children with an abdominal neuroblastoma may be asymptomatic; however, they may also appear chronically ill and may have bone pain from metastases to the bone marrow or skeleton.
Fever, pallor, and weight loss are frequent presenting symptoms.
Neuroblastoma is a likely diagnosis in an infant younger than a year of age who has an asymptomatic RUQ abdominal mass and pallor and no jaundice.

24
Q

What are the imaging and lab results for neuroblastoma?

A

Metastases are primarily to regional lymph nodes and to the liver, bone marrow, and skeleton.
Chest radiograph will reveal any lymph node involvement in the chest or additional tumors that may present in the posterior mediastinum.
Histopathology reveals “small round blue cells” or small, uniform cells containing dense, hyperchromatic nuclei and scant cytoplasm, forming small cell rosettes.
Urinary HVA/VMA will be elevated in 90-95% of cases.
A CBC may reveal anemia or other cytopenias that are secondary to bone marrow infiltration.

25
Q

Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome

A

genetic overgrowth syndrome. It associated with Wilm’s tumors, macrocephaly, macroglossia, LGA and hypospadias

Q

Q

Tell me some stuff about roseola.

A

Presents as a high fever (38.5 to 40.5 C) for 3-5 days in a typically fairly well-appearing child, followed by abrupt resolution of fever and development of a maculopapular rash
During the period of fever, some children have rhinorrhea.
A bulging fontanelle is an unusual physical finding in roseola and may lead to evaluation for meningitis

45
Q

A

most common cause of chest pain in adolescents and is of unknown etiology. It is a benign condition characterized by sudden, sporadic onset of sharp pain, usually along the left sternal border, which is often exacerbated with deep inspiration. These pains are brief, lasting seconds to a few minutes, and resolve spontaneously. The pain can often be “broken” with a forced deep inspiration. It is often not associated with exercise.

edema, proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and hyperlipidemia

49
Q

A diagnosis of PSGN can be supported with which labs?

A

ASO titer, Positive streptozyme test, elevated anti-DNAase B antibodies and low C3

50
Q

Why do you see hyperlipidemias in nephrotic syndromes?

A

In reaction to the decreased albumin, the liver is stimulated to make lipoproteins as well as albumin, which leads to hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia.

51
Q

people with nephrotic syndrome are at risk for what 2 other complications?

A

Infection and venous thrombosis

52
Q

What are the signs of TCA toxicity?

A 
Altered mental status
Anticholinergic signs and symptoms
Hypotension (a hallmark of TCA toxicity)
Dysrhythmias, and
Seizures
53
Q

What is the treatment for TCA toxicity?

A

sodium bicarb, lidocaine, and maybe volume expansion (for hypotension)

54
Q

Erythema multiforme

A

An acute hypersensitivity syndrome
Associated with a symmetrical rash that starts as a dusky red macules and evolves into sharply demarcated wheals and then into target-like lesions.
Individual lesions stay fixed for one to three weeks.
Condition does not come and go.
Most commonly caused by herpes simplex infections, but may be associated with medications.

55
Q

What are two systemic illnesses commonly have diaper rash as one of the features?

A

zinc deficiency and Langerhans cell histiocytosis

56
Q

What are some of the lab results you will see with Kawasaki’s?
