Peds Flashcards
most common bugs in Retropharyngeal abscess
Strep pyogenes
Staph aureus
oral aneaerobes
retropharyngeal abscess is an infection of what space
space between pharynx and vertebral fascia
widening of prevertebral space on neck XR
suggests retropharyngeal abscess
confirmed by CT with contrast
thumb sign on lateral neck XR
epiglottitis
swollen epiglottis
what pts get Pvalizumab for RSV ppx?
children <2 years and have
- preterm <29 wks
- chronic lung disease of prematurity
- HD signific congenital heart disease
complications of bronchiolitis
apnea, respiratory failure
most middle ear infections are caused by what bugs
strep pneumo
moraxella
H flu
treatment for history of acute rheumatic fever now with MR but otherwise healthy?
IM penicillin every 3-4wks for secondary prevention of ARF
pts with h/o ARF at high risk for recurrence and progression of rheumatic heart disease with subsequent group A strep infection
total iron binding capacity is a measure of
transferrin
stranger anxiety timing
starts 6 months
peaks 8-9 months
resolves 2 years
separation anxiety resolves when
18-24 months
Kawasaki diagnosis
fever >= 5 days and at least four of:
- conjunctivitis
- mucositis (erythematous fissured lips, strawberry tongue)
- rash
- extremity changes
- cervical LAD >1.5cm
lab findings supportive of kawasaki
high CRP hypoalbuminemia sterile pyrua anemia thrombocytosis
describe the three types of renal tubular acidosis
1 (distal)
- poor hydrogen secretion
- high urine pH
2 (proximal)
-poor bicarb resorption
4
-aldosterone resistance
hexagonal crystals on UA
cystinuria
maneuvers to fix radial head subluxation
apply pressure to radial head and
forearm hyperpronation
or supination plus flexion
kid with radial subluxation keeps hand in __ position
pronated
Crigler Najjar
absent uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase
Gilbert
mild deficiency uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase
rash on trunk –> groin, axilla –> peeling hands and feet
with headache, fever, sore throat
scarlet fever - strep pyogenes
bilirubin threshold for phototherapy
20
tx minimal change disease
corticosteroids
WAGR
wilms tumor
aniridia
GU abnormalities
retardation
screening u/s for wilms q3mo
signs/sxs HUS
thrombocytopenia
microangtiopathy hemolytic anemia
AKI
Atomoxetine moa
selective NE reuptake inhibitor
most common heart defect in Down’s syndrome
complete atrioventricular septal defect
failure of endocardial cushions to merge –> both ASD and VSD
Tetralogy of Fallot
- pulmonic stenosis
- overriding aorta
- VSD
- RV hypertrophy
clinical findings of complete atrioventricular septal defect
- heart failure (blood mixing between chambers and severe AV valve regurg leading to vol overload)
- fixed split S2 (delayed pulm valve closure from flow across ASD)
- systolic ejection murmur due to increase pulmonic flow from the atrial septal defect
what happens to most innocent murmurs upon valsalva or standing?
decreased intensity with maneuvers that decr blood flow to the heart
lymphocyte predominant leukocytosis
bordatella pertussis
firstline therapy for immediate effects on night time enuresis
desmospressin; decreases urine production
enuresis alarm is best but takes 3-4 months
what should you counsel pts on desmopressin?
minimize water intake to prevent hyponatremia
how to differentiate peripheral from central precocious puberty?
central has high LH
path and symptoms of intussception
ileum telescopes into cecum -> pain, obstruction edema -> compression of blood vessels -> bowel ischemia -> rectal bleeding (currant jelly stools)
well appearing infant with painless, bloody stools
suspect food-protein induced allergic proctocolitis
manage by eliminating maternal consumption of diary and soy
or switch to hydrolyzed formula
risk factors for baby intraventricular hemorrhage
prematurity (highest risk <32 wks; germinal matrix involutes at 32wks)
very low birth weight
imaginary friends are most common at what ages?
3-6 years
overlapping fingers
retrognathia
edwards syndrome
kid with recurrent staph abscesses
CGD
impaired NADPH oxidase complex
can’t form hydrogen peroxide
risk factors for acute OM
young age (6-18mo)
smoke exposure
daycare
no breastfeeding
common bugs bacterial rhinosinusitis
H flu
Strep pneumo
treatment bact rhinosinusitis
amox + clavulanate
