Q

If Grade 4-5 VUR and starting Abx- what do you start? + for how long?

A

Septra (Trimethoprim/ Sulfamethoxazole)
OR nitrofurantoin

1/4-1/3 of daily total tx dose

Max 3-6 mon.
If abN persist then prophylaxis R/A at that time (as increased risk of resistance w/ time)

49
Q

What gene causes undifferentiated gonads to become testis?

A

SRY gene

= Sex-Determining Region on Y chromosome

= Leydig Cells= T

Note: 5 alpha reductase covert 10% of T to DHT (dihydrotestosterone)

DHT= critical for N + complete male virilization

    - Ovotesticular DSD (extra testicular tissue)
    - Maternal androgen
  2. Undervirilized M= lack T or extra E
    - Gonadal dysgnesis (Klinefelter)
    - Testicular regression (Vanishing testes)
    - Defect in T synthesis (Leydig cell hypoplasia)
    - Defect in androgen at target tissue= 5 alpha reductase deficiency, androgen insensitivity syndrome
    - mother’s ingestion of E
  3. OR Mixed chromosome pattern= mixed gonadal dysgensis = 45 X/ 46 XY
55
Q

Key P/E findings in DSD:

A

  • midline defect
  • hydration, BP
  • genitalia: symmetry, measure clitoris or penis
  • palpate labioscrotal folds
    to R/O gonad, R/O fusion
  • hypospadias
  • anogenital ratio (>0.5 weird)
56
