evaluation of precocious puberty
bone age (normal or advanced)
A. normal: isolated breast development (premature thelarche or isolated pubic hair delop (premature adrenache –> reassurance
B. adanced: measure basal LH
- high: central

epiglottitis vs croup on x-ray
epiglottitis - thumbprint signs
croup - steeple sign
epiglottitis - treatment
- incubate (in OR in case unsuccesful intubation makes tracheostomy necessary
- ceftriaxone for 7-10d
- Rifampin for all close contacts
epiglottitis vs croup - most accurate test
croup: PCR
epiglottitis: C+S from tracheal aspirate
Whooping cough - treatment
- Erytrhomycin or azithrom aids only in the catarrhal stage, not in the paroxysmal
- isolate the child
- macrolides in close contacts
- DTaP vaccine
primary ciliarry dyskenesia vs CF regarding extrapulm features
1ry ciliary: sinus inversus, infertility, NORMAL GROWTH
CF: pancreatic insuf, infertility, FAILURE TO THRIVE
pneumonia and effusion on chest x-ray - management
small effusion and No resp distress or hypoxia –> oral antibiotics and close monitoring
moderate/large effusion OR resp distress OR hypoxia –> U/S, IV antibiotics, drainege
indications for palivizumab in infants
- preterm births less than 29
- chronic lung diseaes of prematurity
- hemodynamically significant CHF
common causes of neonatal respiratory distress - causes
- transient tachypnea of newborn (term or posterm)
- resp distress syndrome (preterm)
- persistent pulm hypertension (term or posterm) –> makes R to L shunts (through foramen ovale, PDA)
Congenital hip dysplasia - age / RF
infants
- breech positioning
- family history
- excessively tight swaddling
Osgood Schlatter disease (traction apophysitis) - presentation / radiology
anterior knee pain / reproduce pain when extend the knee against resistance / tenderness and edema on tubercle
- anterior soft tissue swelling, lifting of tubercle from the shaft, irregularity or fragmentation of the tubercle
systemic-onset juvenile idioath arthritis - clinical presentation
auto-inf disease in children:
- long stading daily fever
- arthritis of 1 or more joints (more than 6 weeks)
- pink macular rash
metatarsus adductus vs congenital clubfoot regarding treatment
metatarsus –> reassurance
clubfoot –> serial manipulation + casting (surgery if refractory)
spondylolisthesis is a developmental disorder characterized by
forward slip of vertebrae (usually L5 over S1) that usually manifests in preadolescent children
- back pain, neurologic dysfunction (eg. urinary incontinence), papable step-off at the lubosacral area present if the disease is severe
Geleazzi test
leg-length discrepancy in developmental dysplasia of the hip
normal delivery - after? (steps) (after apgar)
- suction of mouth and nose
- clamping + cutting of the umbilical cord
- newborn is then dried, wrapped in clean towels, and place under a warmer (it was in a warm environment in uterus)
- gentle rubbing or stimulating the heels to stimulate crying and breathing
- Vit K + opthalmic oitments
neonatal conjuctivitis - types and age of onset
- chemical irritation due to silver nitrate (it is not allergy, esp in developing countries: day 1: eye lubricant
- gonococcal: day 2-5: single IM dose of 3rd gener ceph
- chlamydial: 5-14: macrolide PO
- 3 weeks or more: Hepres infection: systemic acyclovir and topical vidarabine
delivery associated scalp injuries - types
- capute succedaneum: swelling of soft tissues, CROSS sutures lines
- Cephalohematoma: subperiosteal hemorrhage DOES NOT cross suture lines
diaphragmatic hernia - types
- Morgagni: defect in retrosternal or parasternal
2. Bochdalek: defect in posterolateral (MC, usually left)
Charge syndrome
Cologoma or iris, heart defects Atresia of nasal choanae Growth retardation Genitourinary abnormalities Ear abnormalities
Risk factros for cryptorchidism
- prematurity
- small for gestational age
- low birth weight
- genetic disorders
- hypospadias
jaundice is consider pathologic when
- appears 1st day
- rises more than 5 / day
- above 19.5 in term child
- Direct bilir rises above 2 at any time
- present after the 2nd week
infants - iron
full term infants are born with adequate iron stores to prevent anemia for the first 4-6 months. Preterm infants are at significantly increased risk for iron-def anemia –> iron supplementation should be started at birth in exclusively breastfed preterm infants and continued until age 1
risk for iron def anemia in infants
prematurity
iron def mother
cow’s milk before 1 year
Delay start of solid food
timeline of infant nutrition
exclusive beastfeeding until 6 months introduction of pureed foods at 6 months introduction of cow's milk at 1 year \+ VIT D \+ IRON if premature
Fanconi’s anemia
pancytopenia + characteristic congenital anomalies such as: hyperpigmentation on the trunk, neck and interginous areas, cafe au lait spots, short stature, upper limb abnormalities, hypogonadism, skeletal anomalis, eye or eyelid changes, renal malformations
DIAGNOSIS AT 8 YEARS OLD
anemia of prematurity - etiology
- impaired EPO production
- short red blood cell life span
- Iatrogenic blood sampling
anemia of prematurity - clinical manifestation and labs
- asymptomatic, tachycardia, apnea, poor weight gain
- low reticulocyte count, normocytic, normochromic
anemia of prematurity - treatment
minimize blood draws, iron, transfusion
ITP - treatment
children: skin manifestation only: observe, if bleeding, IVIG or glucocortic
adults: platelets more than 30000 and cutaneous symptoms, without bleeding: observe, less than 30 or bleeding: IVIG or glucocort
harlequin sign
absent facial flushing (Horner syndrome)
Klinefelter syndrome - lab/endocrine profile - mechanism
- presence of inactivated X chromosome (Barr body)
- High FSH (dysgenesis of seminiferous tubuls –> low inhibin B)
- high estrogen (abnormal Leydig function –> low testosterone –> high LH –> upregulation of aromatase)
- Common cause of hypogonadism seen in infertility work-up
evaluation of primary amenorrhea
pelvic examination or U/S –> Uterus present?
- yes –> serum FSH: if increased do karyotype, if decreased do cranial MRI
- no –> karyotype and serum test:
1. 46, XX, normal female test levels –> abnormal Mullerian development
2. 46 XY, normal male test levels –> androgen insensitivity syndrome
