UTI risk factors
< 12 months old white race fever > 39 fever > 2 days no obvious source
growth required for UTI

catheter 5x10^7 CFU/L
suprapubic - any growth
UTI microbiology & empiric choices (PO + IV)
Klebsiella Ecoli Enterococcus fecalis, enterbacter cloacae Pseudomonas Staph saprophyticus, serrata citrobacter
Cefixime PO (3rd gen) IV hospital - gent +/- ampicillin or ceftriaxone/cefotaxime
ID control - pediatric office
Disinfection requirements
- critical - ie needles - sterilzation
- semicritcal (contact MM, non intact skin - speculum) - sterilzation or high level disinfection
- non critical (intact skin only - ie BPcuff) - immediate or low level - alcohol wipe
- environmental - low level or detergent/water
ID control - pediatric office
health care worker - restrictions from office
influenzae, measles, mumps, pertussis, rubella, TB active, varicella
how to prevent mosquitoes and tick bites?
4
- avoidance- dusk, dawn, woodlands for Ticks
- physical barrier - screens, bed nets
loos, long fitting. lightly colored clothes
Inspect child at least daily- remove with 24hr prevent Lyme disease - Repellant
6 mo - 12 years old - icaridin 1st choice
> 12yo - DEET up to 30% - insecticides - permethrin can be sprayed on clothing
Indications for macrolides
atypical pneumonia - H influenzae, morexalla catarrhalis etc
2nd line - life threatening beta lactam allergy in acute GAS pharyngitis
Should not be used for AOM, pneumonia 1st line
mucocutaneeous candidasis
- name 2 types and treatment
- oropharyngeal (oral) thrush
- topical gentian violet
- nystatin suspension - 80% for 2 weeks
- 1st gen - clometriazole
- 2nd gen fluconazole if fail conventional/immunocompromised - candida diaper dermatitis
- topical antifungals (clometrizole, nystatin)
Tinea capitis
- describe lesion and rx
single or patches of alopecia with plaques
+/- boggy edematous plaque = Kerion
Rx: oral griseofluvin, terbinafine (lamisil) 4 - 6 weeks
TInea corporis
-describe lesion and rx
ringworm - lesions, circular
via direct contact
topical clotrimazole, terbinafne BID 2-3weeks
Tinea Pedis
-describe lesion and rx
athelete’s foot. pruitic, erythematous, scaly lesions between toes
topical clotrimazole
Pityriasis versicolor
-describe lesion and rx
mild or chronic condition with scaly hypo/hyperpigmentation on trunk.
often adolescent
NOT dermatophyte infection - malassezia
Rx: topica ketaconazole, clotrimazole
nightly 1 -2 weeks, then qmonth x 3 months
Risk factors for invasive meningococcal infection (5)
anatomical/functional asplenia immunodeficiency complement or factor D deficiency Travellers to high risk area lab personale with exposure military
when to give MCV-C?
Menjugate serotype C
all children @ 12months
earlier if risk factors @ 2, 4, 12mo (or by provincial schedule)
When to give MCV-4?
Menatra A, C, Y, W-135
ALL booster with MCV4 or MVC-C at ~ 12 yo
if risk factors @ 2 year old
if HIV at anytime if >/= 2 year old
Neisseria Meningitidis
- what is most common serology
Vaccinate A, C, Y, W-135, so most common now type B serotype (just new vaccine)
peak incidence < 5 year old.
why Neisseria Meingitidis so bad?
Serotype C- associated with outpbreaks, higher rate of sepsis and mortality
can cause meningitis, septic arthritis, pneumonia, conjunctivitis,
extremely variable - occult bactermia to fulminant fatal disease
10% mortality in invasive disease
4CMenB or Bexsero
-who and when to give?
risk of meningococcal invasive disease -functional/asplenia -immunocompromise - complement or factor D deficiency -(military/lab personale)- unclear for B When: 3 doses @ 2, 4, 6months s/e - higher rates of fever
Neisseria Meningiditis - B serology
epidemiology
vaccine still unsure effectiveness 70% before 6 months hence @ Vaccine 2, 4, 6mo mortality 3.8% for infants < 1 year old ICU for 60%, morbidity 10% dec IQ, seizures, SNHL, motor impairment, visual loss
what is palivizimab
humanized murine monoclonal IgG-1 against RSV
reduces 80% of hospitalizations in premature infants
Decreased parent reported wheezing
No proven short term benefit for ICU/deaty
Indications for RSV palivizimab?
GIVE: - hemodynamically sig CHD/CLD (need O2 @36GA) with O2/diuretics/puffers < 12mo old OFFER (not essential) -- premature < 30GA & < 6mo old -- Remote (air) < 36GA & < 6mo old CONSIDER: - Inuit term, if < 6mo old - immunocompromised & home O2 < 24mo old
