26
What is the prognosis of pulmonary TB?
Good
27
What is the prognosis of bone, joint, meningitis TB?
Depend on the time of adminstration of medications
28
How to prevent TB infection
- isolation of TB + in negative pressure room - airborne isolation - BCG vaccine
29
how long does small and large droplets pass
- 3 feet large | - 6 feet small
30
Incidence of TB in KSA
Declined
31
When to suspect UTI?
Temperature >38 and no other cause of infection is found
32
What are the RF for UTI in children?
- previous UTI - poor urine flow\constipation - spinal lesion - renal abnormality - abdominal mass - high BP
33
What is the risk in females vs males for UTI?
If <1 year, boys more than girls School age: 3x more in girls Adolescence: far far more in girls
34
If urine dipstick is - positive nitrate - positive leukocyte
UTI
35
If urine dipstick is - positive nitrate - negative leukocyte
Start treatment if sample was fresh
36
If urine dipstick is - negative nitrate - positive leukocyte
Treatment not started “Unless there’s good evidence of UTI”
37
If urine dipstick is - negative nitrate - negative leukocyte
Not UTI
38
If urine dipstick is - positive pyuria - positive bacteriuria
Definite UTI
39
If urine dipstick is - negative pyuria - positive bacteriuria
Regarded UTI
40
If urine dipstick is - positive pyuria - negative bacteriuria
if clinically UTI: start Ab
41
If urine dipstick is - negative pyuria - negatibe bacteriuria
No UTI
42
What is pyuria
WBC > or = 5 “centerfuged” | WBC > or = 10 “uncenterfuged”
43
What is the likelihood of having UTI infection if SPA showed gram negative bacili
Any number is UTI

- 10^5 - 50.000 - 10^4 - 10^3
45
What are the indications for hospitilization of UTI patinets?
- less than 3m - concern for bactermia\urosepsis - immunocompromised - can’t tolerate oral medics - renal insufficency
