self-limiting. no complications |
Reye's syndrome | caused by use of ASA for VIRAL illness
Ssx: rash, vomiting, lethargy, encephalitis, coma
BUT ASPIRIN is ok for KAWASAKI d/o |
Septic arthritis in peds | MCC < 15yo = staph aureus
MCC >15yo = nisseria gonorrhea
FVR, pain, swelling, limited joint motion
Tx: MUST TAP = arthrocentesis + IV abx |
Roseola infantum | acute viral disease = HHV6 + HHV7
Ssx: starts with FUO 3-5d with no other clinical signs. When FVR drops get significant rash spreading from trunk outward
Key: if rash and FVR at same time = not roseola
Ddx:
Rubella
Rubeola (measels) |
abrupt onset of FVR in peds with no other signs, followed by rash | Roseola
Very high FVRs in roseola = febrile seizure risk |
Congenital rubella | TRIAD: cataracts, deafness, heart defects
PE: blueberry muffin baby |
peds rashes | 1. FVR then rash = roseola
2. head cold/photophibia + FVR, then rash + FVR = meseals
3. Sandpaper rash, finely papular = scarlet fvr
4. slapped cheeks then rash = erythema infectious
5. dew drop on a rose petal = varicella |
Scarlet FVR clues | 1. Sandpaper papular rash
2. Strawberry tongue
3. Pastia's lines = rash in flexor creases does not blanch esp axilla and groin
Ssx: acute onset FVR, sore throat, chills, hypermic tonsils, exudates
Tx: penicillin, amoxicillin |
Salicylate poisoning | causes anion-gap metabolic acidosis
Tx: maintain hyperventilation to compensate (pt on vent)
Activated charcoal if <2hrs
Correct fluid deficits to get urine output 1-1.5ml/kg/hr
ALKALINIZE URINE (bicarb bolus) - prevents salicylate reabsorption |
neonatal septic workup | Get LP on any febrile neonate <28d
Otherwise LP any infant with CNS signs (irritability, lethargy)
MCC: GBS, E/coli from maternal GU tract
Dx: LP, blood culture, urine culture, CXR
Tx: ampicillin and gentamycin |
6mo infant brought in by mom for seizure, FVR 103 x 3d. On PE irritable, shallow breathing, delayed cap refill, BP 80/20 | most likely dx = FEBRILE SEIZURE 2/2 SEPSIS
must order septic eval:
CBC + D
CSF analysis
blood / urine cultures
CXR |
Varicella | HIGH pruritic rash that is vesicular
best initial test = TZANCK smear showing multinucleated giant cells
Tx: supportive, antihistamines to decrease itching
Cx: staph aureus super-infection
Prevention: vaccine at 12 mo |
peritonsilar abscess | UVULA is not midline - deviates away from abscess
Hot potato voice
MCC = GABHS
Tx: ceftriaxone + drainage (always drain abscess)
Cx: can cause obstruction around carotids |
Vaccines given at 2, 4, 6, & 15mo schedule | CHID
conjugated pneumo
H flu
Inactivated polio
DTaP |
Muscular dystrophy | X-linked
Progressive degeneration of skeletal muscle
GOWLER maneuver to stand
dead by 25 from respiratory failure |
Absence seizure | School age 5-12 peak incidence
NO POST ICTAL PERIOD
Amnesia after each seizure
Ssx: sudden stare, stop verbal/motor activity
"day dreaming" "impairment of consciousness"
Tx: ethosuximide |
Tonic-clonic seizure | Grand mal = associated with Epilepsy
MC type of seizure d/o
Ssx: frequently aura, HA, amnesia
Jacksonian march = seizure is generalized
Todd's paralysis = weakness in post-ictal period
Tx: anticonvulsants |
Status epilepticus | Prolonged seizure > 30 min w/o regaining CNS funx
risk of brain damage from hypoxia
Tx: intubate / airway support
2 IV
O2 mask
Lorazepam (1st choice)
Fosphenytoin
Send labs for TOX screen, metabolites, sepsis workup |
Infectious diarrhea in peds | Bloody stools and + cultures (E.coli / shigella) = do not use ABX - will cause the bacteria to release toxins
In peds tx all diarrhea with aggressive fluid rehydration and caloric support
No opiates (loperamide) for infx diarrhea ever |
Tinia capitis | Peak = school age kids
Superficial fungal infx of the scalp = scalp ringworm
Ssx: scaling, erythema, partial alopecia, itching, red raised patches
Tx: ORAL GRISEOFULVIN
unlike other tinia this one does not respond to topicals, must give PO |
Head lice | due to direct contact / sharing hats
Ssx: Nits are firmly attached white lesions (vs. dandruff)
Tx: Permethrin
Must re-treat 1 week later |
Hemophilia A vs. B | A = factor VIII defect
Tx: cryoprecipitate
B = factor IX defect
Tx: FFP - there is no factor IX in cryoprecipitate
Both types give hemearthrosis and increased PTT |
Hemorrhagic disease of the newborn | gut is not colonized so bacteria are not making VitK
Give VitK IM shot immediately after birth |
Hemolytic uremic syndrome | follows acute gastroenteritis
E.Coli infection releases toxins
Ssx: TRIAD follows episode of diarrhea
- hemolytic anemia - jaundice
- thrombocytopenia - petechiae
- acute renal failure - oliguria, edema, HTN

Ssx: may be asymptomatic
- can swallow liquids but difficulty with solids
- copious DROOLING in toddlers |
retinopathy of prematurity | disorganized retinal vessels in premeeis that had NICU stays likely due to overexposure to supplemental O2
RF:
- premature
- O2 |
7yo presents with NO IMMUNIZATIONS, which are the most appropriate to start with | Tdap, polio (OPV), measles-mumps-rubella (MMR)
children not immunized in the 1st year of life and you are >7yo = give Tdap (not DTap) |
