ID Flashcards
What are major pathogens in late-late onset sepsis?
Candida, Coag negative Staph
Most common site of origin in Osteomyelitis?
Metaphysis
(Femur, humerus, tibia, radius, maxilla)
How can osteo spread between epiphysis?
Blood supply between metaphysis and epiphysis is connected in infants.
Is there greater risk of permanent deformity with Osteo or septic arthritis?
Septic arthritis
but you can see decreased growth with osteo due to growth plates
What sites would require surgical drainage of septic arthritis vs just aspiration?
if hip and shoulder are involved.
Most common cause of Omphalitis?
Staph Aurues

Difference between EOS GBS and Listeria Sepsis?
Listeria can be acquired by transplacental route
What might placenta look like with Syphilis in infection?
LARGE
What kind of rash do you see in neonate with Syphilis?
desquamating maculopapular rash (palms and soles)
Why do use non-treponemal tests (VDRL and RPR)?
to use for screening, assessing response to treatment, and determining re-infection
How do non-treponemal tests work?
detect a cell membrane cardiolipin non specific IgG
What is FTA-ABS test used for?
detects specific Ab (IgG or IgM) to Treponema
if it is reactive, it is reactive FOR LIFE
When would FTA-ABS be positive but VRDL negative?
Lyme disease
When do you follow up treatment for Syphilis in neonate?
2, 4, 6, 12 months
titers should decrease by 3 months, and become non-reactive by 6 months
if increasing titers or persistent 6-12 months of age, re-evaluate and treat with another 10 day course

Eosinophilia
How long do you treat infant exposed to maternal TB?
INH until 3-4 months of age, and then place PPD to determine further management
What are EMG findings in Botulism infection?
incremental response at high frequency, abnormal spontaneous activity, abundant, brief, small action potentials
Difference between Staph epi, and staph aureus?
Staph epi is coag-negative
staph aureus is coag positive
