Pediatrics Charts Flashcards
skin rash found in newborns and infants: common yellow or white pustules that are surrounded by a red base
erythema toxicum
skin rash found in newborns and infants: red pustules and papules are most prominent over the cheeks and nose of some normal newborns
neonatal acne
skin rash found in newborns and infants: the salmon red, scaly eruption often involves the face, neck, axilla, diaper area, and behind the ears
seborrhea
skin rash found in newborns and infants: erythema, scaling, dry skin, and intense itching. Found on flexor surfaces
atopic dermatitis (eczema)
skin rash found in newborns and infants: more than 5 cafe au lait spots and axillary freckling. Later findings include neurobribromas and Lish nodules
neurofibromatosis
skin rash found in newborns and infants: this bright red rash involves the intertriginous folds, with the small “satellite lesions” along the edges
candidal diaper dermatitis
skin rash found in newborns and infants: this irritant rash is secondary to diarrhea or irritation and is noted along contact areas
contact diaper dermatitis
skin rash found in newborns and infants: this infection is due to bacteria and can appear bullous or crusty and yellowed with some pus (honey crusted yellow)
impetigo
what is the most common dysrhythmia in children?
paraoxysmal supraventricular tachycardia
what do infants with paraoxysmal supraventricular tachycardia present with?
some may look well or may be somewhat pale with tachypnea, but have a heart rate of greater than or equal to 240 beats per minute. Others are ill and in cardiovascular collapse. This requires medial therapy for conversion to normal rate and rhythm.
childhood hypertension is typically more likely to have what kind of causes?
renal, cardiac, or endocrine causes
in children: dry rough warts on hands
verruca vulgaris
in children: small, flat warts
verruca plana
in children: tender warts on feet
plantar warts
in children: dome-shaped fleshy lesions
molluscum contagiosum
open and closed comedones and inflamed pustules
acne
intensely pruritic, red, distinct papules characterize these lesions
bites
scaling, crusting, and hair loss are seen in the scalp, along with painful plaque and occipital lymph node
tinea capitis
this pruritic, allergic sensitivity reaction changes shapes quickly
urticaria (hives)
intensely itchy papules and vesicles, sometimes burrows, most often on extremities
scabies
this annular lesion has central clearing and papules along the border
tinea corporis
oval lesions on trunk sometimes with a herald patch
pityriasis rosea
appears within the first 24 hours from subperiosteal hermorrhage involving the outer table of one of the cranial bone. It is swelling, that is initially soft, and then develops a raised bony margin within a few days from calcium deposits at the edge of the periosteum. It tends to resolve within a few weeks
cephalohematoma
anterior fontanelle is bulging and the eyes may be deviated downward, revealing the upper scleras and creating the “setting sun” sign. This sign is also seen briefly in some normal newborns
hydrocephalus
this is a condition of premature closure of one or more sutures of the skull. This results in an abnormal growth and shape of the skull because growth will occur across sutures that are not affected but not across sutures that are affected.
craniosynostosis
which types of craniosynostosis are most common?
scaphocephaly and frontal plagiocephaly (see page 881 in bates for pictures)
