ISONIAZID
Chlorpromazine
Halothane
Anti-retrovirals
Panlobular mononuclear infiltration and hepatic cell necrosis = pathological state of?
Hepatitis
Use labs to differentiate causes
LFT’s for alcoholic
Viral titers for viral causes
Autoimmune is last resort Dx
Age <1 year
Respiratory and/or esophageal symptoms
BIPHASIC STRIDOR

Lights Criteria- TRANSUDATE
Pleural protein: serum protein ratio
Lights criteria - EXUDATE
Pleural protein: serum protein ratio >.5
Pleural LDH: serum LDH >.6
Pleural LDH >2/3 upper limit of nml
Causes - infection, malignancy, PE
Mechanism of metabolic alkalosis in Conn Syndrome (hyperaldosterone)
Hypokalemia causes bicarbonate resorption
Combined with increased hydrogen secretion
= metabolic alkalosis
