AB hemolytic streptococci
inflammatory hemorrhagic bullous lesions
Ascher bodies
Skin rush)
-development of subcutaneous nodules
erythema marginatum
sudden aimless irregular weakness, speech disturbances
movements of the extremities, facial grimace, muscle weaknes, speech disturbance
Chorea
sign resulting from the disturbances in the dynamics of CSF which caused by various conditions such as:
Congenital Acquired condition
(intraventricular hemorrhage, tumor, CSF infection, or head injury)
Hydrocephalus
predominant sign of hydrocephalus in infancy
head enlargement
predominant sign of hydrocephalus in older infants and children
lesions

Intraventricular hemorrhage
neurologic disorder characterized by carly onset and impaired movement and postur
Cerebral Palsy

Intrinsic asthma
measuring the movement of air in and out of the lung
Spiromer
Medical Treatment For Asthma
Oxygen - 95%
beta2-adrenergic receptor agonist : Salbutamol
Terbutaline
anaphylactic drug
Aminophylline
Used for long-term to control the infammation and to prevent further attacks
Steroids
Theophylline
usually attributed to extreme heat source but may also result from exposure to cold, chemicals, electricity, or radiation.
BURNS
require the services and facilities of a specialized burn center with expertise
- Major burn
be treated in the hospital : burn
- Moderate burn
be treated in an outpatient basis.
- Minor Burns
Etiology
burn cause
Thermal
Electrical
Chemical
Radiation
Inhalation
Zones of Burn Injury
The inner zone or Zone of Coagulation”
The middle area or Zone of Stasis
The outer zone or “Zone of Hyperemia
- is common during the first week of the acute phase, as water shifts from the interstitial space to the vascular space.
Hyponatremia.
