**Endomyocardial bx gold standard - inflammatory infiltrate w myocite necrosis
75% newborn mortality
25% infant and chidren mortality
If survive 66% full recovery 2-3 mos
33% dilated cardiomyopathy / chronic heart failure
Viral myocarditis more frequent and severe with higher mortality in This age group Because
Newborns
Because immature myocardium less adaptable to acute insult
Newborn viral myocarditis often misdiagnosed as …
Because…
Asthma
Pneumonia
Because viral prodrome
Followed by respiratory distress
(L heart failure)
Think viral myocarditis if holosystolic murmur (dilated cardiomyopathy)
Hepatomegaly (congestion from now R heart failure)
viral prodrome
Followed by respiratory distress
Holosystolic murmur
Hepatomegaly
Think…
Viral myocarditis
Any age but more freq and severe in newborns
Normal cardiothoracic ratio on cxr
v60% infants v1yo
v50% children ^2yo… and adults?
Peds viral myocarditis findings on
Cxr
Ekg
Echo
Labs
Gold standard for dx
Cxr - cardiomegaly +- pulm edema depending on severity
Ekg - unhelpful sinus tach and
Non-specific t wave changes
Echo - global hypokinesia
Labs
viral studies
cradiac injury studies - ckmb, troponins
Inflammatory markers - cbc, esr, crp
Gold standard for dx - endomyocardial bx
Treatment of peds myocarditis
Supportive inotropes amd diuretics
Monitoring in icu for per risk of shock and fatal arrhythmias
How is strep throat different in kids v3yo
It is uncommon v3yo
Because fewer epithelial attachment sites in the young throat… per uworld
TF
Kids v3yo are higher risk for acute rheumatic fever
F
ARF is uncommon v3yo
Because strep throat (gas pharyngitis) is uncommon
Because fewer epithelial attachment sites in the young throat… per uworld
Typical first manifestation of acute rheumatic fever
Arthritis
2-4 wks after incompletely treated group a strep pharyngitis
Clinical diagnostic criteria of kawasaki’s
5 day fever Conjunctivitis bilat non-exudative Mucositis Cervical lymph node ^1.5cm Rash of any kind pretty much Swelling and/or erythema of palms and soles
(Need fever + 4/5 of the others to dx)
Age and ancestry of kawasaki
v5yo (90% of cases)
Asian ancestry
Describe the conjunctivitis of kawasaki
Bilateral
Non-exudative
Describe the mucositis of kawasakis
Injected or fissured lips or pharynx
Strawberry tongue
Describe the lymphadenopathy of kawasaki
1+ cervical lymph node ^1.5 cm
Define morbilliform
morbilliform refers to a rash that looks like measles - macular lesions that are red and usually 2–10 mm in diameter but may be confluent in places.
Define perineum
Surface area between pubic symphisis and coccyx
Describe kawasaki rash
erythematous, polymorphous, generalized
Perineal erythema and desquamation
Morbilliform (measle-like… 2-10mm erythematous macules sometimes confluent)
Involves trunk and extremities
Treat kawasaki
Aspirin
Ivig
Complications of kawasaki
**Coronary artery aneurysm
MI and ischemia
Kawasaki disease aka
Mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome
How does a kawasaki kid appear, good or bad
Irritable
Miserable
TF
Kawasaki can occur late in childhood
T
But 90% of cases occur v5yo
The most serious complication of kawasaki
Coronary artery aneurysm
Can occur in 20% untreated
MI and death are possible consequences
So give aspirin and ivig
_____ should be performed in every pt suspected of kawasaki disease and repeated ______ to monitor for changes
Baseline echo
(for coronary artery aneurysm)
Repeat 6-8wks later to monitor for changes
When to give aspirin to kids
For kawasaki disease
(Maybe a few others too…)
For antiplatelet and antiinflammatory effects
Usually avoid in kids for reye syndrome
(Rare but life threatening hepatic encephalopathy when using aspirin for flu or varicella in kids)
Quick and dirty reye syndrome
Rare but life threatening hepatic encephalopathy when aspirin given for flu or varicella in kids
Oropharyngeal exam findings in strep throat
