Rubella
German measles
Rubeola
Measles
Roseola infantum is also known as
Exanthem subitum / sixth disease and three day fever
Roseola infantum is caused by
HHV 6 / HHV 7 / Enteroviruses such as coxackie virus A and B, echovirus / adenovirus and parainfluenza type 1
Roseola infantum commonly affects
infants mostly 6-18 months
Roseola infantum course
3-5 days of high fever up to 40C or higher then resolves abruptly then rash
Roseola infantum rash
maculopapular rash from the neck and trunk the to the face and extremities, not purpritic
Nagayama spots
Roseola infantum
Whooping cough is caused by
Bordatella pertussis
Guidelines for admission of patient with pertussis (2)
- infants less than 6 months of age
- any child with complications (apnea cyanosis pneumonia encephalopathy)
Indication for antibiotics in a patient with pertussis
- patient is diagnosed in catarrhal or early paroxysmal phase (may reduce severity)
- cough for less than 14 days (may reduce spread; reduces exclusion period)
- the patient is admitted to the hospital
- there are complications
Chemoprophylaxis for pertussis is indicated
- child < 6 months
- < 3 doses of vaccine
blisters of varying stages, macules and papules
chicken pox
school exclusion of chicken pox
after all the blisters have dried out
PDA
- frequently an isolated phenomenon
- pansystolic machinery like murmur at the LSB
- wide pulse pressure
- definitive management: surgical closure
difficulty in internal rotation and abduction in children aged 4-10
Transient synovitis or irritable hip
most sensitive test for TS
Log roll test
Treatment
bed rest for 7-10 days and the use of crutches to avoid weight bearing of the affected joint
Meds: Paracetamol or NSAIDs
Oppositional defiant disorder
Risperidone
Recommendation for premature isolated adrenarche
Followup every 3-6 months
GI abnormality most associated with Down syndrome
Duodenal atresia or stenosis sometimes associated with annular pancreas
Delayed passage of meconium
Hirschsprung disease
Acute bronchiolitis cause
RSV
Clinical presentation of acute bronchiolitis
cough, coryza + wheezy breathing + tachypnea = hyper-inflated chest with subcostal retractions
LCP features
painless limp
trendelenberg gait or abductor lurch
unilateral or successively with contralateral hip joint
LCP is also called
AVN of the proximal femoral epiphysis;
Management of LCP
Ortho referral
Reduce weight from affected joint
Maintain the femur abducted and internally rotated
Assessment of disease progression via xray
Ultrasound indications for UTI
In all children younger than the age of 3 years of age with the first episode of UTI
< 1 year old = ultrasound should be performed first and if normal the next step is VCU
> 1 year of age = ultrasound alone
Deficient in breast milk
Vitamin K - can cause intracranial hemorrhage
Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis metabolic picture
Increased pH, decreased KCl, increased pCO2 and HCO3
immediate non bilous projectile vomiting in a 3-6 week old baby
demands to be re-fed immediately
olive like mass at lateral edge of the rectus abdominis muscle
vaginal bleeding in the first week after birth
maternal estrogen withdrawal
most common cuase of bloody vaginal discharge
may also be purulent
Foreign body
nappy rash
monilial candida vulvovaginitis
most common suppurative complication of AOM
Acute mastoiditis
Common pathogen for acute mastoiditis
Streptococcus pneumoniae - 1st
Hib - 2nd
Treatment of acute mastoiditis
Flucloxacillin + 3 generation cephalosporin
Acute mastoiditis clinical features
postauricular inflammatory signs such as erythema, edema, tenderness and fluctuance
Edema of auricle and or external canal (prior)
Laryngomalaicia (5)
- noisy breathing - audible wheeze when a baby inhales often worse when the baby is agitated, feeding, crying or sleeping on his back
- high pitched sound
- difficulty feeding
- poor weight gain
- choking while feeding
croup / LTB is commonly caused by
distinctive seal barking cough and inspiratory stridor
tracheal tug
cause of LTB
Para influenza virus type 1
Epiglottitis presentation
may lead to sudden obstruction and death
maintains head extended
noisy breathing
sore throat dysphagia high fever drooling inspiratory stridor
4ds: dysphagia, dysphonia, drooling, and distress
Treatment goals for epiglotitis
airway protection and antibiotics
Acute bronchiolitis treatment goal
oxygen and hydration
hot potato voice
epiglotitis
Epiglotitis cause
Hib
Retrophayngeal abscess
similar to epiglotitis but with bacterial upper respiratory tract infection preceding
until when is the index case of measles excluded from school
4 days after rash
exclusion of unvaccinated exposures of measles
14 days after the appearance rash on the index case
Croup treatment is based on severity
mild
- dexa or
- prednisolone or
- budesonide
severe
- adrenaline + dexamethasone or prednisolone
most common cause of painful rectal bleeding
anal fissure
SCFE first symptom
hip stiffness that subsides with rest
SCFE (4)
limp and irritaility of hip movement
knee pain referred from affected hip
on flexion of the hip it rotates externally - hip is often on external rotation on walking
most movements are restricted especially internal rotation
3 important management principles of SCFE
- cease weight bearing and refer urgently
- if acute slip, gentle reduction via traction is better than manipulation
- once reduced pinning is performed
most common intraabdominal tumor of childhood
Wilms tumor or nephroblastoma
classic presentation of neproblastoma on physical examination
smooth firm non tender palpable abdominal mass that usually does not cross the midline
other manifestations; hematuria, fever, hypertension, abdominal pain
most common solid extracrainail tumor in children
neuroblastoma
Neuroblastoma clinical presentation
hard, irregular, non tender, extends beyond the midline
loss of apetite
protrusion of both eyes
lobar pneumonia clinical features
fever + dob + pale ill and grunting, shallow respiration, normal chest auscultation
bronchiolitis most characteristic findings
inspiratory fine crackles
intentional unauthorized or illegal absence from compulsory schooling
Truancy
Truancy
attempt to draw attention or to make an impression on pears
caused by anger at school or problems at home
children sometimes go on to break laws more seriously when they are older
child tries to hide his or her action from parents
