tx of croup

croup
27
steeple sign
croup
28
orthomyxovirus
influenza
29
flu vaccine recommendations
* over 6 mnths of age: annual vac with inactivated virus * 6-9 y/o: need 2 doses of seasonal vaccine if it is first time * over 65 y/o: need a high dose of flu vaccine
30
flu symptoms
SUDDEN ONSET: sudden fever, myalgia, chills, dry cough, coryza, weakness. Elderly may be confused. Kids may have diarrhea.
31
initial dx test for flu
rapid test of viral antigens from nasal pharyngeal swab; will have a low sensitivity
32
definitive test for flu
DFA, viral culture(takes 3-7 days), PCR assay
33
CBC in flu
leukopenia and proteinuria
34
flu incubation period, fever, immunity
incubation 18-72 hours, fever last 1-7 days, immunity set within 2 weeks of vaccination
35
tx for flu
Zanamir or Oseltamivir (rising in resistance)
36
pertussis organism
gram neg bacillus bordetella pertussis
37
pertussis vaccine
DTap given 5 doses in early childhood; | acellular pertussis vaccine recommended in infancy
38
pertussis pts
Typically occurs before 2 years old; infection highest in premies, and those with cardiac, pulm, or neuromuscular disorder
39
3 stages of pertussis
catarrhal, paroxysmal, convalescent
40
catarrhal stage
most contagious; mild URI sx, lasts 1-2 weeks
41
paroxysmal stage
paroxysms of cough for a few minutes with high pitched INSPIRATORY whoop and post tussive emesis, ; lasts 2-3 months; fever is rare
42
convalescent
last few weeks, symptoms wane
43
labs for pertussis
increased WBC with lymphocytosis(often 70%), | gold standard is nasopharyngeal culture!!
44
tx for pertussis
treat close contacts too. Use Emcyin. | alternative: azithomycin, clarithomycin, bactrim.
45
antigenic drift vs shift
drift: small gradual changes in surface proteins throught point mutation shift: acute major change in the subtype
46
3 types of TB
primary TB; progressive primary TB; latent TB
47
what is primary TB
exposed people that mount an immune response sufficient to prevent progression from initial to clinical infection; 10% of people infected to develop the disease/ active disease kills 50% of pts
48
what is progressive primary TB?
5% of exposed people fail to contain primary infection and progress to active TB
49
how does reactivation occur with TB
immumosuppression, alcoholism, pre-existing lung disease, diabetes, old age
50
Night sweats, dry to productive cough, w/ or w/out hemoptysis, wt loss, fatigue, dyspnea
TB
51
TB symptoms
Night sweats, dry to productive cough(blood tinged sputum), w/ or w/out hemoptysis, wt loss, fatigue, dyspnea; 3 weeks duration
52
fever of unknown origin, think...
TB
53
post tussive rales, think...
TB
54
definitive dx test of TB
ACID/FAST STAIN OF SPUTUM | definitive dx: mycobacterium cultures (6-8 weeks) or DNA/RNA amplication technique (1-2 days)
55
Caseating granulomas
TB
56
hallmark of TB
caseating granulomas
57
primary TB CXR (5)
homogenous infiltrates, hilar/para-tracheal lymphnode enlargement, segmental atelectasis, cavitations
58
reactivation TB CXR
fibrocavitary apical d/s; apical and posterior segments of upper lobe superior segment of lower lobe
59
Ranke complex
The Ghon complex undergoes progressive fibrosis, often followed by radiologically detectable calcification
60
Ghon complex
Ghon's complex is a lesion seen in the lung that is caused by tuberculosis. The lesions consist of a calcified focus of infection and an associated lymph node. These lesions are particularly common in children and can retain viable bacteria, so are sources of long-term infection and may be involved in reactivation of the disease in later life.
61
TB drugs
RIPE: rifampin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, ethambutol
62
active TB tx
all 4 drugs for 2 months; then INH and RIF 4 months
63
latent TB tx
INH 9 months OR RIF 4 months OR | RIF and PZA 2 months(only if in contact with TB resistant persons)
64
rifampin SE
hepatitis, flu sx, ORANGE URINE
65
INH SE
hepatitits, peripheral neuropathy so must give with vit B6(pyridoxine)
66
hepatitis, flu sx, ORANGE URINE
rifampin SE
67
hepatitits, peripheral neuropathy
INH SE- give with vit B6(pyridoxine)
68
PPD Tuberculin skin test
5mm positive for immunocompromised pts 10mm positive for healthcare worker or moderate risk pt 15mm positive for normal healthy low risk person
69
TB usually what affect what lung fields
upper
70
pyrazinamide SE
arthralgias and hepatitis
71
ethambutol SE
optic neuritis
72
* prevention in high risk for bronchiolitis
palivizumab during first year of life for children <29 weeks, symptomatic chronic lung disease of prematurity, congenital hrt d/s, neuromuscular difficulties, immunodef. **handwashing
73
* 2 most common causes of hemoptysis
acute bronchitis or bronchogenic ca
