Viral: No fever, early resolution of fever, resolution before 10th day
Bacterial: Fever > 3 days, recurrent fever, persistent symptoms > 10 days
Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Triad
Dextrocardia, bronchiectasis, sinusitis
Early presentation of PCD (in order):
• Neonatal TTN > Delayed speech due to recurrent OM > Chronic sinusitis (Bilateral purulent discharge)
Kartagner Syndrome
Situs inversus Recurrent sinusitis Bronchioectesis Dextrocardia Infertility
Cystic fibrosis has increased risk of which syndromes?
psedobarter syndrome and Distal intestinal obstruction syndrome
Cystic Fibrosis mode of inheritance?
Autosomal recessive
Cystic Fibrosis diagnosis?
Typical Sx of CF + CFTR dysfunction:
- Sweat chloride ≥ 60 mmol/L on two occasions
- OR CFTR gene mutation
- OR abnormal nasal potential difference test
Risk of psedobarter syndrome:
- HypoNa + HypoK + HypoCl + Metabolic alkalosis
Distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) treatment
- IF no vomiting: electrolytes intestinal lavage solution (GoLYTELY)
- IF vomiting: Hyperosmolar enema + GoLYTELY
Distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) symptoms
Abdominal pain + RLQ mass + stool retention/fluid level in xray
