6-10%
shigellosis clinical features:
bloody diarrhea, high fever, malaise; NOT vomiting
acute gastroenteritis characteristics:
<4d, N/V/D, no blood or pus, highly contagious, almost always VIRAL; determine hydration status via "When was the last urination?"

early pubic hair growth

<8y
girls achieve all height by:
1 year after first menses
precocious puberty in boys, onset is:
<9y, refer, as this is most likely a gonadal or adrenal tumor
murmur of ASD is:
first found on a 2 to 6 month WC exam
for low-pitched heart sounds, use
bell of stethoscope
for high-pitched heart sounds, use
diaphragm of stethoscope
body temp. increase from fever causes:
lower viral replication rates, toxic effect on certain bacteria, negative effect on S. pneumonia growth
in aseptic / viral meningitis, the CSF will have:
predominance of lymphocytes
sepsis, defined:
clinical manifestation of systemic infection
febrile seizure occurs at what point in illness?
most likely to occur as fever is increasing, rather than at its peak
seizures in first 2y of life?
yes, commonly 4-6 acute febrile episodes per year (parents seek health care in 2/3 of cases)
if fever persists, should RTC, when:
1-2d; sooner if fever worsens
onset of action of IBU and APAP
within 30m
duration of APAP action
4h
duration of IBU action
6h
antipyretic effects of IBU and APAP at lower grade fevers (<102.5):
equivalent
antipyretic effects of IBU and APAP at higher grade fevers (>102.5):
IBU has greater antipyretic potential than APAP during higher fevers
used during varicella outbreak
APAP, because IBU is implicated in necrotizing fasciitis
if sepsis is suspected, what is empirical antimicrobial tx?
IM ceftriaxone at 50mg/kg q 24h + supportive care, need culture and sensitivity
"left shift" causes:
severe bacterial infection, appendicitis, pneumonia
bacterial infection look on CBC with differential:
leukocytosis, neutrophilia, bandemia; toxic granulation; REALLY BAD if:myelocytes or metamyelocytes are seen
viral infection look on CBC with differential:
total WBC usually nml, lymphocytes predominate
CSF results in viral infection:
nml glucose, lymphocytosis, probably normal protein levels
tx of suspected aseptic / viral meningitis:
acyclovir, seek help
tx of suspected septic / bacterial meningitis:
ceftriaxone with vancomycin; pending bacterial sensitivity results; seek help
m/c pathogen in CAP in child:
virus
most appropriate antimicrobial for CAP in 2y/o:
azithromycin
% of children who have pneumonia by age 5?
20%
antimicrobial effective agains atypical pathogens of pneumonia?
clarithromycin
crawl and creep at how many months?
9-11m for crawl and creep
peek a boo and pat a cake at how many months?
9-11m for peekaboo and patacake
says mama and dada with meaning at how many months?
9-11m
follows simple commands at ___ m/o?
9-11m
can run, turn, and balance at what age?
4-5y
count to 4 at what age?
4-5y "count to 4 at 4"
buttons clothes and dresses self at what age?
4-5y
plays without adult input for 30 minutes at what age?
4-5y
backbone tx for mild persistent, moderate persistent, or severe persistent asthma
inhaled corticosteroid; could mast cell stab. (cromolyn) or LKT modifiers (montelukast, zafirlukast)
effects for corticosteroids or LKT modifiers take place in:
1-2w
a LABA example:
formoterol, salmeterol
a SABA example:
albuterol, levalbuterol (better than the other two: greater bronchodilation at a lower dosage with fewer SE's), pirbuterol
asthma, clarified:
a lower airway disease, more problems with expiration - "air trapping"
asthma, findings:
decreased PEF, prolonged expiration, thoracic hyperresonance on percussion, hyperinflation seen on xray; O2 desat is a LATE finding
sx onset for food poisoning with Staph:
1-4h
