location: metaphyses of long bones
risk: most likely in boys 13-16
presentation: pain for a few months that gets progressively worse
xray: sunburst and codman trianlge
labs: ESR, alk phos
lead fingerstick screen is positive in child. what next?
test VENOUS blood lead levels, decide to treat based on levels
causes of prepubertal vaginal bleeding (4)
1- withdrawal of maternal estrogen
2- trauma
3- rhabdomyosarcom –> will usually visualize tumor
4- foreign body –> TP is most common, will have foul smelling discharge
a child develops isolated petechiae after a cold, what do you do?
ITP
just skin: watch, should resolve in 6 months
skin+ bleeding: IVIg and clucocorticoids
how do you manage hydroceles in the newborn
watch and wait. most resolve by 12 months. If it doesnt, surgery to prevent inguinal hernia
vague differentiation between sickle cell disease and trait on electrophoresis
Trait: HbA +HbS
Disease: NO hba, all HbS and HbF
triad of brain abcess

lack of breast= lack of estrogen
High FSH= peripheral cause
Low FSH= central cause

WITHOUT. contrast can confound appearance of accute blood.
association: neonatal abstinence syndrome

side effect: myelosuppression
in sickle cell disease, how do retics respond in 1) aplastic crisis 2) splenic sequestration
1) decreased
2) increased

thalasemia –> high retic, high iron
**beta thalasemia has increased HgbA2 on electropheresis
down syndrome patient presents with upper motor neuron signs and changes in behavior. dx?
atlantoaxial insability
hemophilic arthropathy
cause: repeated hemarthrosis in hemophilia A/B
