not ever vaccinated with shortness off breath - what needs to be ruled out
poliomyelitis
tetanus
what do you think in a child younger than 1 who has new onset resp distress with vomiting and diarrhea. started eating honey this morning
Clostridium botulinum source of contamination by honey cause resp distress
incubation is only a few hours. symptoms include cranial nerve involvement, diplopia, weak suck, facial weakness and absent gag. hypotonia and weakness => resp failure
not ever vaccinated with shortness off breath - what needs to be ruled out
poliomyelitis tetanus pertussis influenza covid
what do you think in a child younger than 1 who has new onset resp distress with vomiting and diarrhea. started eating and trying new foods
Honey - botulism
Clostridium botulinum source of contamination by honey cause resp distress
incubation is only a few hours. symptoms include cranial nerve involvement, diplopia, weak suck, facial weakness and absent gag. hypotonia and weakness => resp failure

edema of lower extremeties
think increased r heart filling -> primary lung disease or Left ventricular failure
in young infants edema appears as
hepatomegaly and periorbital or flank edema
crepitus
chest injury
pneumothorax
cutaneous emphysema
tactile fremitus is diminished in
pneumothorax
asthma
emphysema
other conditions that trap air in the lung
can cause a spontaneous pneumo from rupture of subpleural blebs located at the apex of the upper lobe or in the superior seg of the lower lobe
cystic fibrosis
most common cause of persistent stridor in infancy
bronchomalacia
brassy cough and difficulty swallowing in infants with inspiratory stridor and expiratory wheeze
vascular ring
cough that is paroxysmal and young child or infant not vaccinated
pertussis “whooping cough”
Persistent nocturnal paroxysmal coughing
asthma
coughing at night usually between midnight and 2 am
Asthma hallmark
caused by the low level of cortisol (glucocorticoid) in the body at that time
a severe cough in the early morning indicates
postnasal drip, CF or bronchiectasis
Cough that is worse at night
croup
postnasal drip
lower resp tract infection
allergic reaction
a cough that disappears with sleep
habit cough
dry brassy cough indicates
pharyngeal or tracheal irritation, allergy or habit
paroxysmal cough
asthma
pertussis
CF
foreign body aspiration
sudden short burst of cough in infants (Staccato cough)
C. trachomatis
a harsh dry cough caused by airway compression from enlarged nodes in the perihilar or paratracheal regions seem to occur with
TB
fungal infection
sudden short burst of cough in infants (Staccato cough)
C. trachomatis (chlamydial pneumonia)
causes cough through direct sim of cough receptors by gastric acid
GERD
cobblestone appearance of the posterior pharynx
caused by lymphoid hyperplasia secondary to chronic stimulation of postnasal drip
Barrel chest
AP diameter is 1/3 -1/2 of Lateral diameter
COPD
also children with chronic cough secondary to CF or severe asthma
diagnostic for CF
sweat test
eosinophilia
bronchial asthma
allergic rhinitis
atopic dermatitis
greenish or rusty colored sputum
Bacterial pnemonia
most common cause of infection in the lower resp tract in children and young adults
