Paediatrics Flashcards
Paediatric constipation complications
- anal fissues
- hemorrhoids
- enuresis/ UTI
recurrent cystitis with suprapubic pain,dysuria, and bacteriuria with anal fissue - what is the cause of urinary infection
- think chronic constipation
patient gets urinary stasis
(b/c constipation cause rectal distension which in turn compresses the bladder and prevents complete emptying
number one diagnostic choice for VUR
voiding cystoourethrogram
cause of conjugated hyperbilirinemia
biliary atresia neonatal hepatitis TPN cholestasis Rubin johnson Rotor TOURCH
initial well appearing infant for 1-8 weeks THEN develops jaundice, pale stool or dark urine, hepatomegaly , high conjugated hyperbilirubinemia and mild elevation in transaminase
Biliary atresia
Treatment of biliary atresia
hepatoportoenterostomy
liver transplant
blood smear of sickle cell anemia
holly jolly bodies
sickle cell anemia gets functional asplenia
basophilic stippling
seen in thalssemias
heinz bodies and bite cells
Glucose 6 P dehydrogenase
Helmet cells
schistocytes - seen in MAHAS
- DIC,
HUS
, TTP
local papule with ipsilateral regional LAD in setting of cat exposure - think?
Bartonella henselae (gram negative bacilli)
cat or dog bite
think pasteruella multicoida - normal oral flow in dogs and cats can cause cellulitis and other safe tissue infections
whitish foreign body inside vaginal introits

Recurrent sinopulmonary and GI infections
Ass. w/ AI disorgers ( Celiac) and atrophy (asthma , eczema)
ANAPHYLAXIS during transfusion
breastfeeding failure jaundice vs. breast milk jaundice
Failure - first week of life - decrease bilirubin elimination - increased enterohepatic circulation Clinical: signs of dehydration
BMJ
- start at age 3-5 days , peak at 2 weeks
- high levels B- glucuronidase in breast milk deconjugate intestinal bill and increase enterohepatic circulations
- normal exam
brick - red rate crystals in diaper
breast milk failure jaundice
hypocellular marrow with decreased megakaryoctytes and precursor of erythroid and amyloid cell lines - what is Dx
Aplastic anemia
how does AML present
lethargy ( anemia) fever unexplained (leucocytosis bleeding ( thrombocytopenia) bone pain Limp

how do patients with homocystinuria present
they have marfanoid body habits
Fair hair and eyes
Developmental delay
Cerebrovascular accident (thromboembolic events)
Lab:
- increase homocysteine and methionine level - vit B6 , folate and vit B12 to lower homocysteine levels
treatment of homocystinuria
vit B6 , folate, vit B12 - lower homocysteine levels
Antiplatlets - to prevent stroke, CHD, VTE
