Q

Complex regional pain syndrome diagnostic criteria

A

Need 2/4:
1. Presence of initiating noxious event or cause of immobilization
2. Continuing pain, allodynia, or hyperalgesia with which pain is disproportionate to inciting event
3. Evidence of edema, changes in skin blood flow abnormal motor activity in the region of the pain.
4. Exclusion of alternative diagnosis

more common in teen females
do CBC, CRP, ESR - should be normal

treatment: pain goals, CBT, PT/OT

Q

CPS NAT Fracture pearls

A

high risk fractures

Labs
- add ca, po4, alp, urine
- consider pth, vit d, serum copper, ceruloplasmin

Q

Calcaneal apophysitis

A

AKA Sever disease

  • common in kids (more common than Achilles tendonitis)
  • common in active kids
  • often bilateral

presentation
- heel pain with running and jumping

- pain with squeeze test

Tx: NSAIDs, ice, PT, activity modification

24
Q

Lupus common antibodies

A

ANA + (sensitive)
dsDNA (Specific)
anti-smith (specific)
anti-Histone (drug induced lupus)

25
multi system involvement in lupus (MD SOAP BRAIN)
Malar rash Discoid rash Serositis oral ulcers arthritis photosensitivity blood (hemolysis, low WBC, low plt) renal (proteniuria, casts, hematuria) ANA + immunologic (dsDNA, smith, lupus anticoagulant) neurologic (psychosis, seizures)
26
Labs to follow in lupus
- low C3/C4, complement (lower in worse disease) - anti ds DNA - anti phospholipid ab
27
Classic rash in lupus
cheeks sparing nasolabial folds photosensitive
28
what is an important test to do in new lupus?
urinalysis (if urine involvement, admit them)
29
Investigations in lupus
- CBCd - CRP/ESR - ferritin - ANA (must be positive to be lupus) - Anti dsDNA - extractable nuclear ab (anti-sm, anti-rnp, anti-ro, anti-la) - antiphospholipid antibodies (increased risk for clotting) - C3/C4 (low) - urinalysis once diagnosied: - echo - PFT - bone density - TSH, anti TPO -consider macrophage activation syndrome labs (ferritin, trigs, fibrinogen, d-dimer)
30
Meds for lupus treatment
plaquinil for everyone - aka hydroxychloroquine - check eye exam annual steroids when unwell
31
lupus emergency complications
DIC/clotthing - pulm hemorrhage, stroke, PE - due to antiphospholipid antibody syndrome MAS - type of HLH - excessive inflammation and cytokine storm - fever, rash, HSM - high CRP, ESR (may be lower than baseline)
32
Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome
1. Evidence of involvement of three or more organs, systems, or tissues 2. Development of manifestations simultaneously or within 1 week 3. Confirmation by histopathology of small-vessel occlusion in at least 1 tissue 4. Lab confirmation of presence of APLs
33
Systemic JIA (aka Still's disease)
- daily spiking fever (quotidian) x 2 weeks - erythematous, salmon colored rash (during fever) - lymphadenopathy - HSM - serositis - arthritis (may appear months later)
34
Vacterl features
Diagnostic: > 3 ___ anomalies Vertebral defects (hemivertebrae, butterfly, rib anomalies, sacral agenesis, scoliosis, tethered cord) Anal atresia (others: imperforate anus, fistula) Cardiac anomalies (VSD, ASD, TOF) TEF Esophageal atresia Renal anomalies (renal agenesis/dysplasia, horseshoe kidney, ureteral anomalies) Limb (radial defects): underdevelopment/agenesis of thumb, radial bone
35
Legg Calves Perthes
- idiopathic AVN of femoral head in young kids age 3-10 yr Presentation - Trendelenburg gait - Pain, if present, is usually activity related and may be localized to the groin or referred to thigh/knee region - Decreased internal rotation - Decreased abduction - Thigh and buttock atrophy Imaging - Pelvic X-ray (AP + frog-leg): morphologic changes (“crumbled”) of the proximal femoral epiphysis - MRI is the best test for early Perthes - Bone scan can show decreased perfusion to femoral head early on *MR is most sensitive* *XR is first line*
36
Anti TNF side effects (ex. infliximab)
- Injection or infusion side effects - Infections - Reactivation of TB (disseminated) - Pancytopenia - Neurological (MS like syndrome) - Autoimmunity - Malignancy - Don't give live vaccines to kids on immunosuppressants !!!
37
PFAPA
Onset <5yrs Fever (recurrent, at least 5 days, regular occurence q3-6 weeks) Aphthous stomatitis and/or pharyngitis (with or without cervical adenitis) High inflamm markers during episodes Well between episodes Resolves at 5-8yrs Treatment: Prednisone single dose 1-2mg/kg and tonsillectomy (cureable) No genetic associations
38
Familial mediterranean fever
Onset <20yrs Short duration of fever 1-3days Irregular occurrences Present with erysipeloid erythema rash, monoarthritis, polyarthritis or sterile peritonitis HIGHEST RISK OF AMYLOIDOSIS (use colchicine to help reduce amyloids and avoid this risk) Genetic testing - familial

risk factors for coronary artery aneurysm in KD
Prolonged fever <1yr and >9yr Male Hypoalbuminemia Thrombocytopenia Prominent infllam markers
43
Child with recurrent 3-4d episodes of fever, abdominal pain, arthritis and erysipeloid rash, family history of renal disease. What is this? What do you treat with?
- FMF - colchicine (prevent amyloidosis)
44
CAP - Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Fever
periodic fever syndrome assocaited with hearing loss
45
Ewing sarcoma classic findings
EEWWW - moths EEWWW - onions (periosteal rxn with new bone formation) EEWWW - axial
46
osteosarcoma common findings
sunburst sign on Xray (radiating calcifications around the bone) - think O the Sun!
47
methotrexate side effects
Immunosuppression Transaminitis GI upset *Oral ulcers* Pulmonary toxicity (rare and usually only upon initiation of methotrexate) Teratogenic Avoid alcohol (exacerbates transaminitis) No live vaccines Pulmonary toxicity
48
Tricky lab test consistent with lupus
positive RPR suggestive of lupus
49
What is the most clinically significant complication of neonatal lupus?!?!
HEART BLOCK!! Can also get cardiomyopathy and valve regurg and effusions - Screen with serial echos from weeks 18-30, treat with dexamethasone from time of diagnosis to delivery
50
Spondylosis
Defect in the pars interarticularis, the segment of bone connecting the superior and inferior articular facets in the vertebra Mechanism: repetitive hyper-extension stresses (think gymnast, football, wrestlers) most commonly at L5 most common cause of back pain in adolescents **Discomfort with spinal extension**
51
JIA criteria
JIA = chronic arthritis (single joint >/= 6 weeks) with onset before age 16
52
Lyme disease
Presentation: Erythema migrans - 89% Rash that appears at the site of the tick bite, usually within 7-14 days after bite Can be accompanied by fever, fatigue, headache, neck pain, arthralgia, myalgia Arthritis - 7% Most common clinical manifestation of systemic untreated lyme Typically a knee that is ++ swollen but not that painful Facial nerve palsy (typically bilateral)- 3% Aseptic meningitis - 1% Carditis - 0.5% Diagnosis: Clinical - Serum antibody testing is highly sensitive AFTER 4 weeks Treatment: Early localized - Doxycycline x 10 days for children > 8 yo Alternate children < 8 yo - Amoxicillin or cefuroxime x 14 days Neuro Lyme: IV ceftriaxone, IV penicillin, or PO doxy 2-3 weeks
53
juvenile dermatomyositis terrible D's
Always ask about the dangerous Ds - dysphagia, dyspnea (ILD or Resp wall weakness), dysphonia - need to be admitted and kept NPO
