peds102 Flashcards
ITP blood labs
isolated thrombocytopenia
what is bleeding in renal failure patients due to?
dysfunctional platelets
chronic granulomatous disease puts you at risk for what infections?
catalase-producing organisms like staph aureus; neutrophils filled with bacteria are classic finding because they can still chemotax and eat the bacteria but just not do intracellular killing
chronic granulomatous disease- what diseases are you susceptible to?
pneumonias and adenitis are common because theses are caused by staph
adenosine deaminase def classic finding on CBC
lymphopenia because this leads to lack of maturation of B and T cells
common organisms that you are at risk for with adenosine deaminase activity
PCP, candida, paraflu, and herpes virus
when does complement consumption happen (and lead to immunodef)
diseases like vasculitis, glomerulonephritis, and certain connective tissue diseases. SLE
C3 def exposes you to risk of what kinds of infections
encapsulated bacteria, begins shortly after birth
most common primary immunodef
B cell maturation arrest; puts you at high risk for infections with encapsulated bacteria;
types of infections diGeorge syndrome patiens get
fungi and viral since T cell dysfunction is the hallmark

Lesch-Nyan syndrome
self mutilation in the presence of dystonia; X-linked recessive; def in HPRT enzyme, leads to increased uric acid
clinical features of Lesch-Nyan syndrome
all due to build up of uric acid; hypotonia, persistent vomitting, progressive mental retard, choreoathetosis, spasticity, dysarthric speech, dystonia and compulsive self-injury; gouty arthritis, tophus formation, and obstructive nephropathy
treatemnt for Lesch-nyan
allopurinol to reduce uric acid levels; patients should also drink lots of fluids
why are SGA infants at risk for polycythemia
increased EPO in response to hypoxia
myotonia
delayed muscle relaxation
autoimmune myositis with symmetrical proximal muscle weakness, cutaneous findings, arthralgias, and dysphagia
juvenile dermatomyositis
mental retard, global developmental delay, hyperactivity, and long narrow face, large ears and macroorchidism
fragile x syndrome
contraindic to breast feeding
active untreated TB, maternal HIV, herpetic breast lesions, varicells infection less than 5 days before; certain meds; chemo or XRT; street drugs or alcohol
hand-foot syndrome (aka dactylitis)
earliest manifestation of vaso-occlusion in sickle cell anemia; acute onset of pain and swelling of hands and feet; fever sometimes
pathophys of hand-foot syndrome in sickle cell disease
vascular necrosis of the metacarpals and metatarsals, which may be seen on xray as osteolytic lesions
when giving IV fluid boluses
only isotonic solutions such as nromal saline or lactated Ringer’s should be used
hypernatremic hypovolemia bolus?
normal salie; later on you will deliver (non-bolus) hypotonic saline
signs of hypernatremia
lethargy, altered mental status, irritability, and seizures
organisms that cause septic arthritis in birth to 3 month
staph, GBS, and gram neg bacilli
antibiotics for septic arthritis birth to 3 mos
antistaph (nafcillin or vanc) PLUS gent or cef
organisms that cause septic arthritis in older than 3 mos
staph, GABHS and strep pneumo
antibiotics for septic arthritis in greater than 3 mos
nafcillin, clinda, cef, or vanc
causes of anemia of prematurity
transitions in the erythropoeisis site of the neonate; shorter life span of RBCs in neonates; diminished fetoplacental transfusion
metoclopramide
for gastric motility
4 neonatal rashes
erythema toxicum neonatorium, neonatal HSV, neonatal varicella, staph scalded skin syndrome
scttered erythematous macules, papules and pustules throughout the body of a neonate but spares palms and soles
erythema toxicum neonatorium; no treatment
vesicular clusters on skin, eyes, mucous membrnaes, CNS infection, fulminent dissem multiorgan disease
neonatal HSV
fever, rash ranges from vesicular clusters on skin to fulminant dissem disease
neonatal varicella
fever, irritability, and diffuse erythema followed by blishtering and exfoliation, pos Nikolsky sign
staph scalded skin syndrom
treatment for SSSS
oxacillin, nafcillin, or vanc
treatment for neonatal varicella
acyclovir
diagnosis of ALL
bone marrow biopsy (not lymph node biopsy) showing greater than 25% lymphoblasts
herpangina
throat infection caused by enteroviruses, like coxsackie A; ulcerative lesions on palate, tonsils, and pharynx
when herpangina is accompanied by lesions on the palms and soles
hand-foot-mouth disease
GB affects which nerves
primarily peripheral motor but sensory can also be affected
initial sx of tingling in the foot, followed by ascening weakness; polyneuropathy; flaccid paralysis in final stage
G-B
CSF analysis in G-B
elevated protein levels and mildly elevated cells
treatment for G-B
plasmapheresis or human immunoglobulin
fanconi anemia
chromosomal breaks on genetic analysis
treatment of fanconi anemia
hematopoeitic stem cell transplant
aplastic anemia, abnormal thumbs, hypogonadism, hypo or hyperpigmented skin, ear findings
fanconi anemia
total anomalous pulm venous connection
cyanotic disease; blood from lungs goes into the RIGHT atrium and there is ALSO an ASD which means this partially oxygenated blood goes from RA to LA
decreased pulmonary markings on CXR

acute drop in hemoglobin in a sickle cell patient can be caused by what?
hyperhemolytic crisis, splenic sequestration, or an aplastic crisis
aplastic crisis in sickle cell disease is not the same as aplastic anemia
aplastic crisis in SS does not have drops in other blood cells
splenic sequestraton can lead to
