Pediatric Shelf Exam Flashcards

Dx: congenital diaphragmatic hernia
DGx:
Tx: intubation + mechanical ventilation, Ng tube placement
Dx + DGx + Tx: tachypnea, subcostal retractions, cyanosis, grunting, decreased breath sounds in pre-term
Dx: Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS)
DGx: XRay- low lung volumes + diffuse reticulogranular (ground-glass) densities
Tx: CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure ventilation) + get ABG, consider intubation/surfactant
Dx + Dgx + Tx: low grade fever, mild cough, 1- week, patient cries when neck extended, swelling of posterior pharyngeal wall
Dx: Retropharyngeal Abscess
DGx: contrast enhanced CT scan
Tx: empiric antibiotic (ampicillin-sulbactam, clindamycin), intubation, abscess drainage
Dx + Tx: URI + coughing spells + high pitched inspiratory sound, incomplete vaccinations

Dx: acute bacterial tonsilitis (strep pyogenes)
Tx: 1st line- penicillin V, macrolides (if clarithromycin, azithromycin, allergic),
Dx: preemee, respiratory distress—> mechanical ventilation for month after delivery, diffuse granular densities, basal atelectasis
Dx: bronchopulmonary dysplasia Cx of prolonged mechanical ventilation in premature infants
Dx: toddler, dry barking cough worsens at night, mild rhinorrhea and fever, inspiratory stridor on agitation, febrile,
Dx: mild croup (viral etiology—> parainfluenza or RSV
Tx: symptomatic relief—> cold mist- decrease nasal passage irritation, dexamethason- reduce airway swelling
Prevention and treatment of RSV
Tx: Palivizumab -passive immunity- infants at risk for severe bronchiolitis
Dx DGx Tx: young boy + coughing, intermittent wheezing, hx of eczema, 3 URIs, otitis media with abx, scattered wheezing on pulm exam
Dx: asthma
DGx: spirometry with obstructive lung pattern reversible
Tx: albuterol

Neonatal conjunctivits with N.gonorrhea
Dx: mucoid watery nasal discharge (rhinorrhea) + tachypnea, wheezing, nasal flaring, low grade fever, intercostal retractions, cyanosis, late neonatal period
RSV
Dx: child 6 months to 3 years old—->croup = nasal congestion, barking seal cough, tachypnea, hypoxemia + low grade fever, inspiratory stridor, hoarseness
Parainfluenza virus type 1
Dx: within 6 days of birth + pneumonia what bug?
Strep Agalactiae
Dx: 5-14 days after birth, mucopurulent eye, discharge, swelling
Neonatal conjunctivitis due to Chlamydia
Dx: 4-12 weeks post birth + mucopurulent eye discharge + eyelid swelling + short repetitive coughs with deep inspirations between (staccato cough)

Tonsilitis, peritonsillar abscess
Incision, drainage + IV ampicillin-sulbactam therapy
Most common side effect of inhaled corticosteroids

Tx: child from TB endemic contry with HBsAb + and Interferon 𝛄 release assay- + , chest X-ray is negative
Latent TB infection:
Tx: start isoniazid + rifapentine for 3 months or 4 months of rifampin
Give Vit B6 (pyridoxine) to avoid peripheral neuropathy + sideroblastic anemia
Vertical gaze palsy, nystagmus, eyelid retraction when looking upward, pupils that accommodate but don’t react to light
Parinaud syndrome- compression of the tectum + medial longitudinal fasciculus
Wt loss, headache, insomnia, + parinaud syndrome
Pinealoma
Common sequel of untreated pinealoma
Obstructive hydrocephalus (headaches, vision abnormalities, nausea, vomiting, ataxia
Complication of precocious puberty
Increased short stature,- trigger early epiphyseal plate closure
