Rheum and Ortho Flashcards
Hip causes of limp based on age
2-6 yrs: transient synovitis
4-10 yrs: Legg-Calve-Perthes
10-14 yrs: Slipped capital femoral epiphyses
Septic joint cardinal features
- Fever
- Pain
- Edema
- Redness
Septic joint management
Surgical emergency:
- joint aspirate and culture
- irrigate joint
- antibiotics
Uveitis in JIA - 4 RFs
- associated with positive ANA
- most common in oligoarticular JIA (10-20%)
- younger age of diagnosis
- more recent diagnosis
(highest risk = q3 month checks, lower risk = q12 months)
Complications of uveitis
- synechiae - irregular pupil
- glaucoma
- cataract
- visual loss
Systemic JIA definition
- > 2 weeks of fever
- arthitis
and 1 of:
- rash
- generalized lymphadenopathy
- hepatosplenomegaly
- serositis
Macrophage activation syndrome lab findings
Low/dropping:
Fibrinogen low (dropping)
ESR decreasing
High/increasing: D-dimers CRP Ferritin Triglycerides Liver enzymes
Acute Rheumatic Fever - major criteria
J - joints = arthritis (migratory and poly) O - heart = carditis N - subcutaneous nodules E - erythema marginatum S - sydenham chorea
*2 major
*1 major and 2 minor
and evidence of GAS
(or just chorea)
Acute Rheumatic Fever - minor criteria
Long PR interval
Elevated ESR + CRP
Arthralgia
Fever
FMF features and prophylaxis
- fever (brief 1-3 days)
- polyserositis [peritonitis, pleuritis, arthritis (70%)]
Prophylaxis: colchicine
PFAPA tx
- prednisone single dose with exacerbations
Autoantibodies found in SLE
- ANA (most sensitive)
- Anti DsDNA
- Anti-Ro (SSa)
- Anto-La (SSb)
- Anti phospholipid antibody (check annually)
- Anti Smith
HSP treatment:
Supportive Analgesia/NSAID Steroids indicated for: 1. severe abdominal pain 2. severe renal disease 30% recur within first 1-2 months
High dose ASA
Low dose ASA
High: 80-100mg/kg
Low: 3-5mg/kg/day
Salter Harris fracture types
- Separated = physis
- Above = through physis and metaphysis)
- Lower = through physis, epiphysis and into joint
- Through = across metaphysis, physis and epiphysis
- Rammed = crush injury to the physis
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
curve
and when to do surgery
> 10 degrees = scoliosis
> 50 degrees = surgery
Congenital scoliosis associations
Think VACTERL
vertebral, cardiac, TEF, renal
