72
Q

clinical features of measels infection?

A

Prodrome for 2-3 days: fever, malaise, anorexia, and 3 C’s (cough, coryza, conjunctivitis)

coryza is nasal congestion and inflammation

Then, after 1-2 days you’ll see Koplik spots on the buccal mucosa and palate, that appear 48 hours before the rash

Rash begins 5 days after onset of prodrome, starting at the head and spreading to the feet, lasts 4-5 days, then resolves from the head down

ribavirin

73
Q

Supportive therapy (antipyretics, fluids)
Monitoring and treating bacterial superinfections such as pneumonia or otitis media

Vitamin A
-100,000 IU PO x1 in 6-12 mo
200,000 IU PO x1 if older than 12 months

  • WHO recommends vitamin A to all children with measles in areas where vitamin A deficiency is prevalent and measles mortality exceeds 1%
  • AAP recommends vitamin A given as above to children 6 months-12 years hospitalized for measles or its complications, or if immunodeficient or high likelihood of vitamin A deficiency (opthalmoplegic evidence, intestinal malabsorption, malnutrition or recent immigration from an area with high measles mortality)

Ribavirin is not well studied and not currently standard of care for measles, despite that it harms measles virus in vitro

74
Q

What are the classic features of rubella virus (German measles)?

A
  • low-grade fever, lymphadenopathy, and rash
  • prodromal malaise, fever, anorexia for 1-5 days prior to rash
  • lymphadenopathy involving suboccipital and posterior cervical nodes

The rash, about 5 days, is erythematous, tender, maculopapular,
unlike measles, it does not darken or coalesce

The fever is milder and shorter (only 1 day) than measles

polyarthritis may be seen for up to a month in women and adolscents

75
Q

What are the characteristic features of Coxsackie hand, foot, and mouth disease

A
  • constitutional fever and anorexia

duration is typically 3-5 days without complications

76
Q

what are the signs and symptoms of scarlet fever cause by strep. pyogenes?

A

rash that is
-coarse (“sandpaper-like”), erythematous and blanching (“sunburn-like”)

  • starts on the trunk then generalizes but spares the palms and soles
  • most prominent in the skin creases of axilla and groin (Pastia’s lines/sign)
  • strawberry tongue, beefy-red pharynx, cervical LAD
  • fever/chills

later, desquamation of hands and feet

distinguished from Kawasaki bu positive throat culture or rapid strep test

77
Q

Roseola infantum- characteristic symptoms

A

sudden, high fever (exceeding 102 F) for 3-4 days

child has no other signs of infection and often acts/plays normally

Then as the fever starts to dissipate, the patient gets a rash on the trunk/ entire body, that is usually gone within 24 hours

Other common findings: erythematous papules on soft palate and uvula, mild cervical LAD, edematous eyelids, bulding anterior fontanelle in infants.

Treatment: antipyretics as needed to lower the fever

78
Q

What is the differential diagnosis for cervical lymphadenitis in a child?

A

if acute and bilateral- usually viral
-URIs rhinovirus, adenovirus, influenza, group A streptococcus
Mono: EBV, CMV, mycoplasma
Other viruses: HIV, HSV

If acute and unilateral- usually bacterial (s. aureus, group A strep > anaerobes, GBS)

If chronic and unilateral:

  • bartonella henselae- cat scratch fever
  • toxoplamosis
  • TB- scrofula
  • actinomyces israelii- sinuses drain pus

Noninfectious causes (much less common): Kawasaki disease, Hodgkin lymphoma

79
Q

PFAPA syndrome

A

benign, recurrent 4-5 day syndrome consisting of Periodic Fever, Aphthous ulcers, Pharyngitis, and Adenitis

  • occurs monthly (every 28 days)
  • exclusion criteria include neutropenia, cough, coryza, diarrhea, severe abdominal pain, rash, arthritis, neuro defects

usually affects preschool- aged children (2-5 yo), usulaly goes away before age 10

benign, self- limiting disease
treatment:
-glucocorticoids relieve symptoms in a matter of hours
-cimetidine may be used for prevention of episodes, but is of questionable efficacy

-average duration of recurring symptoms is 4.5 years

80
Q

Pertussis (whooping cough)

A
  1. Incubation (7-10 days)
  2. Catarrhal stage (7-10 days): mild URI symptoms
  3. Paroxysmal stage (1-6 weeks): paroxysms of cough with inspiratory whoop that is worse at night and often with post-tussive emesis and exhaustion
    - often confused with acute bronchitis
  4. Convalescent stage (2-3 weeks): waning symptoms
Treatment: 
supportive care
antibiotics
-azithromycin (5 days)
shorter course, and erythromycin/clarithromycin contraindicated before 2 months

-erythromycin (14 days)
-clarithromycin (7 days)
TMP-SMX (14 days)

prophylaxis for close contacts (full course of one of the above antibiotics)

isolation from school/day care until 5 days of antibiotics have been completed, or 3 weeks after onset of symptoms in untreated patients

hospital admission (with isolation) indications for children with pertussis:

  • respiratory distress
  • PNA
  • inability to feed
  • cyanosis or apnea (with or without coughing)
  • seizures
81
Q

what additional work-up is needed in a child diagnosed with UTI?

A

renal and bladder ultrasound (RBUS)

  • child 2 febrile UTIs

82
Q

Immunodeficiency disorders- overall clues

A

recurrent infections after 3 mos

83
Q

Thymic aplasia (DiGeorge syndrome)

A

3rd and 4th pouches fail to develop
-no thymus means no mature T cells

no parathyroids means hypocalcemia, leading to tetany

Congenital defects in heart/great vessels

90% have a chromosome 22q11 deletion (detect with FISH)

84
Q

Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis

A

Treatment: antifungals (ketoconazole, fluconazole)

85
Q

  • most appear healthy
  • recurrent sinus infections
  • recurrent lung infections
  • 1/600 people of European descent
  • associated with atopy and asthma
  • There isn’t much you can do but provide antibiotics when there is an infection. It is important to diagnose this condition, as there is possible anaphylaxis to blood transfusions and blood products.
87
Q

Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)

A
  • Defect in early stem cell differentiation
