Pediatrics Notes
Females: Thelarche (breast buds) 1st sign of puberty at about 11yo, followed by adrenarche (pubic hair). About 1yr after thelarche at Tanner 3, peak growth spurt occurs. About 6mo after growth spurt at Tanner 4, menarche occurs. Breast development from Tanner 2-5 takes 4yrs on avg. and pubic hair development takes 2.5yrs. Males: Testicular growth at about 11.5yrs is 1st puberty sign, marking Tanner 2. Pubic hair appears next with penile enlargement within 1yr of testicular enlargement. Progression to Tanner 5 over 3yrs, with growth spurt in Tanner 4-5. Infant Diet Guide 1st 4-6mo of life: Breast milk or formula; water (helps with constipation) Supplement with vitamin D (if breast fed), fluoride (if not in water) Premies: multivitamin, Fe, +/- folate and fluoride Require 100-120kcal/kg/d After 4-6mo: Start solids (preferably after 6mo) and decrease breast/bottle feeds to <32oz/d; may need to increase water (higher renal solute load) Start 1 new single ingredient food at a time, new foods only q3-4d. Cereal (rice, oatmeal, barley); Fruit (banana); Vegetables (orange before green); juices (0.5 adult juice, 0.5 water). DO NOT give eggs, citrus, desserts, or whole cows milk (can lead to allergies) Decrease breast/bottle feeds as increase solids. Decrease breast/bottle feeds to <24oz/d when teething and DO NOT leave bottle in crib (milkbottle caries). APGAR Scoring Heart Rate: 0 (absent); 1 (<100/min); 2 (>100/min) Respiratory Effort: 0 (absent); 1 (slow, weak cry); 2 (good, vigorous cry) Muscle Tone: 0 (limp); 1 (some extremity flexion); 2 (arms/legs well flexed) Reflex Irritability: 0 (none); 1 (some motion); 2 (cry, withdrawal) Color: 0 (blue, pale); 1 (blue extremities, pink body); 2 (pink all over) Notes: Insert nasal catheter and observe reflex irritability. APGAR is taken at 1 and 5 min, and again at 10 and 20 min in compromised infant. Record lost points (eg. 1min APGAR=9, -1 for color)

Fluids & Dehydration: Assessment of Hydration Status 1. Parent estimate of intake: fluid type (water, formula, juice, etc) and amount retained 2. Parent estimate of output: urine, stool, vomit, drainage, insensible losses (# of diaper changes now vs. usual, consistency of stool) 3. Physical signs (% Dehydrated) Skin Turgor: good (5%), good/slight tenting (10%), tented (15%) Mucous Membranes: moist (5%), tacky (10%), dry (15%) Eyes: normal (5%), deep set (10%), sunken (15%) Fontanelle: flat (5%), soft (15%), sunken (15%) Mental Status: consolable (5%), irritable (10%), lethargic/coma (15%) Cardiovascular: normal (5%), tachy, normal BP (10%), decreased BP, poor capillary refill (15%) Urine/tears: concentrated urine, poor tear production (5%), oliguria, poor tear production (10%), oliguria/anuria, no tears (15%) Note: dehydration estimated from % wt loss from premorbid state Initial Bolus Give a bolus of isotonic (NS or Lac Ringers) to rapidly re-expand the intravascular volume.

Diarrhea Mechanisms 1. Osmotic: ingestion of poorly absorbable solutes. - Dx: diarrhea ceases when osmolytes are removed from intestine. - Increased stool osmolality (>280 mosm) - eg. intestinal disaccharidase deficiency, monosaccharide malabsorption, cathartics (phos and magnesium salts) 2. Secretory: pathological stimulation of normal Na, K, Cl, HCO3 secretion. - Dx: diarrhea continues with fasting. - Stool is isosmotic to plasma (280 mosm) - eg. toxin producing bacteria (E.coli, V. choerae, staph), hormones (gastrin, histamine, prostaglandins, VIP), drugs (phenophthalein, ricinoleic acid) 3. Malabsorptive: - Inflammatory conditions (Crohn's, Sprue), drugs (Digitalis, colchicine, Abx), digestive enzyme deficiency (pancreatic insufficiency), obstruction 4. Exudative: damage to intestinal mucosa resulting in discharge of mucus, serum proteins, and blood into bowel lumen - egs: infection (amebiasis, shigellosis, staph), inflammation (UC, pseudomembranous colitis), ischemia, drugs(Abx, heavy metal poisoning) 5. Increased intestinal motility Bacterial diarrhea Si & Sxs: Bloody stool Dx: Wright stain of stool for poly's; if <3 months, consider bacteremia Causes 1. Yersinia (pseudo-appendicitis, erythema nodosum) 2. Campylobacter 3. Salmonella (cystitis) 4. Shigella (generalized seizures due to toxin, hi temp, hyponatremia) 5. E. coli Tx: Give Pedialyte; feed through diarrhea; DO NOT give Anti-diarrheals (may cause toxic megacolon and retention of toxins) Causes of Chronic Childhood Diarrhea Neonates Infections: previous infections decrease enterocytes Protein intolerance: causes damage to enterocytes Short bowel syndrome NEC Congenital absorptive defect Congenital disaccharidase defect CF

Bacterial Meningitis General -Meningoencephalitis with vascular involvement > pure meningitis in kids. -Most common entry into CNS is via bacteremia -3 mo-8 mo age of peak incidence Etiology Neonate <28 days -Foci of infection: gut, bladder, swallowing of vaginal/perineal flora intrapartum or in utero infection -Pathogens: GBS, gram negatives (E.coli, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas), Listeria Infant/Children 3 mo-5yrs -Pathogens=pneumococcus, meningococcus, H. flu -Children >3mo have decreased immunity, low nasopharyngeal IgA -Bacteremia can seed CNS, joints, heart, lungs -Most virulent meningitis but most easily treated Labs(LP) -Glucose <50, protein >50, WBC >10. -Opening pressure >140-180 mm /H2O in BM or in a small crying child. -If bloody tap fluid does not decrease with flow, then has hemorrhagic CNS disease (HSV). -Pus=100 PMN's/ml. -Protein cause turbidity -Yellow csf indicates bilirubin Sequelae of BM -Deafness/hearing loss (mild or total)due to CN VIII swelling; etiology: pneumococcus > meningiococcus>H.flu. (pmh). More H.flu in prevaccine population. -Seizures-tonic clonic sz can be presenting symptom of BM in 20-30% of pts. Leukocytes release cytokines which cause cerebral edema. Focal sz can be seen 3-4 days into MB due to localized dz (brain abscess, subdural effusion, empyema). Focal sz indicate poor prognosis. -Cranial nerve palsies-mostly CN VI, the longest intracranial course -increased ICP -Cerebral Palsy/Mental Retardation -Speech problems -Focal neural loss -Death- 5-10% even with abx (GM 20-25%, Strep 10-15%) -Hydrocephalus- increased CSF production in lateral ventricles. Communicating or noncommunicating. Tx with VP shunt (complications: obstruction with no long term mental sequelae to infection with Staph epidermidis with mental sequelae). Aseptic Meningitis -Pathogens=80% Enteroviruses (Coxsackie, polio, echo), 7-8% Arbovirus -Peaks in summer -CSF- lympocytosis at 6-8 hours -Herpes rarely causes meningitis, usually encephalitis

Antibiotics for Meningitis Neonates <28 days Pathogens 1.GBS-Amp and Gent. Many are pen/gent resistant, but amp (cell wall inhibitor) helps. 2. E. coli-Gent 3. Gram (-) (Klebsiella)-Gent 4. Listeria (tumbling gram (+) rod)-Amp Infants 4-8 weeks All pathogens for infants and kids should be considered and treated. Abx=Amp and Cefotaxime Infants >8 weeks Encapsulated pathogens 1. Strep pneumo 2. Hib 3. N. meningitides Abx=Amp (enterococcus and listeria) and Cefotax; rifampin for HIB or N. meningitides to decrease carrier state. Chloramphenicol is no longer used; can cause bone marrow suppression and gray baby syndrome (vascular collapse) in neonates always treat h. Flu or neisseria also with rifampin to decrease carrier state (treat contacts also) If no improvement with abx think -not enough or wrong drugs -new pathogen (secondary infection) -abx not penetrating (ie. Abscess) -viral infection Meningococcus: better prognosis if presenting as meningitis (pt survived seeding) rather than bacteremia; most rapidly fulminant but easiest treated.

Pneumonia An inflammation of lung parenchyma Viruses are the most common agents in infants Mycoplasma pneumoniae most common in children Bacterial PNA, bugs isolated from blood: strep pneumo, H. flu, Staph aureus in infants, debilitated pts, and adolescents with widely disseminated disease Predisposition to bacterial pna: aspiration, immunodeficiency, congenital anolamies (TE fistula, cleft palate) abnormal mucus clearance (CF, ciliary dysfunction ie Kartagener's, bronchiectasis), CHF. Pneumococcal pna: only signs may be fever + tachypnea. In adults the classic picture is shaking chills, pleuritic pain, prostration, rusty sputum and high mortality Involvement is characteristically lobar consolidation. Complications include empyema & septicemia. Sicklers are particularly susceptible to overwhelming pneumococcal infections. Tx with penicillins Hemophilus influenza: also lobar pna. Distinguished from pneumococcal pna by more indolent course and inadequate response to penicillin. Abx include amox or amp PO but if PO inadequate may require IV amp. 20% of H. flu is resistant to amox/amp, use Augmentin or IV cephalosporin. Staph pna: most common in first year, usually unilateral, abscess, tissue destruction, overwhelming septicemia. 2 typical features: pneumatocele, rapid progression. Empyema with thick purulent fluid is a hallmark. Tx is chest tube for drainage Mycoplasma pna: #1 cause of adolescent pna (25-35%). Incubation period is 2-3 weeks. Sx of headache, malaise, fever, cough. WBC and diff usually normal, "cold agglutinins" may be + after 1st week of illness. CXR looks worse than the pt. Can be fulminant in SS dz pts. Abx = erythromycin. Assoc with bullous myringitis Chlamydia trachomatis: contracted from birth thru infected vagina, usually presents at 1-2 months with low grade fever, machine gun or "staccato cough". Increased eosinophils on differential. cxr will have diffuse interstitial infiltrate. 50% have proceeding conjunctivitis. Dx by giemsa stain of conjunctival inclusion bodies. Abx with erythromycin.

Bordetella pertussis: 2000-4000 cases per year in US. Is an encapsulated gram negative rod, infects ciliated epithelium of upper respiratory tract. Pertussis toxin increases adenylate cyclase, organism also synthesizes and exports adenylate cyclase. Dx with culture on Bordet-gengou medium (high % of blood) ID by agglutination with specific antiserum or by fluorescent Ab staining. Assoc with apnea 3 stages of clinical dz: 1) Catarrhal phase, lasts 2 weeks, coryza with increased mucus and secretions, sx similar to cold 2) Paroxysmal phase: usually lasts 1-2 weeks but up to 4 weeks, consists of paroxysms of hacking cough with copious mucus followed by inspiratory " whoop" air rushes past narrowed glottis. 3) Convalescent phase: can last for months. Abx erythromycin, but does not work well after phase I. If used after phase I, will decrease # of organisms in the throat to prevent spreading. Contraindications to giving pertussis vaccine: previous hx of serious reactions to vaccine (temp >105 or severe swelling at injection site) seizure disorder or other significant neurological disorder Indication for admission: age <4-6 months, resp distress, toxic appearing, dehydration, vomiting if not taking PO's, social factors, immunocompromised patients, esp sickler's, CF patients Indic for d/c home: not hypoxic, good sats on room air, good PO intake, good UOP, negative bcx Viral PNA RSV, parainfluenza, influenza A & B Otitis Media Pathogens 1. Strep pneumo (30%) 2. Hib (22%) 3. Moraxella cararrhalis (7%) 4. Group A Strep (2%) 5. Staph aureus (1%) 6. Sterile (35%) 3 tiers of management 1. Amox or amp (amp is QID, causes more GI upset, is not absorbed as well as amox) 2. Pediazole (erythromycin EES + sulfisoxazole) /Bactrim (trimethoprim + sulfamethoxazole) 3. Augmentin-useful against beta-lactamase producing H. flu 4. Ceclor- 2nd gen cephalosporin, can cause serum sickness Wait 48 hours then usually increase from tier 1 to tier 3.

Pediatric Emergencies Fever in the neonate (8 weeks)=ROS Fever=temp > 100.4 or 38 C Labs= CBC c diff, BCX, UA, UCX, CSF protein, glucose, cell count, CX If pt rules out then dx is viral syndrome. 6-7% of neonatal swu's are positive. Of these, 3-4 look sick, 2-3 have an identifiable source of infection and 1-2 would have been missed. The 1-2 that would have been missed is the reason we are so aggressive . Symptoms to look for: changes in mental status, changes in feeding, hypthermia (esp in immediate neonatal period) Fever + SS disease = ROS Sicklers can be functionally asplenic as early as 6 months (when fetal hgb drops) see Howell Jolly bodies (nuclear remnants normally removed by spleen) in blood smear. Asplenics are susceptible to encapsulated organisms (h.flu, meningococcus, pneumococcus) Sicklers with influenza, viral syndromes have 500 times the risk of pneumococcal infection so CX's and ABX are necessary 3 clinical scenarios: 1)"sick" at any age gets admitted for iv abx 2) well appearing and < 4yrs admitted for abx and cx's 3) well appearing and >4 yrs may be treated as an outpt with po ampicillin and blood cx's SS dz + positive CXR = r/o chest crisis A positive CXR in a sickler may be ateletasis, infiltrate or pulmonary infarction In children the cxr appearance will lag weeks behind clinical improvement Chest Crisis: pulmonary infection causes hypoxemia and acidosis which makes RBC's sickle and leads to vasoocclusion which leads to more hypoxemia and acidosis (viscious cycle) This creates an environment for pulmonary infection to thrive TX: fluids and O2 to prevent sickling, PRBC if needed, abx (cefotax or cefurox for encapsulated bugs)
