3-year old with a firm inflamed swelling in the right submandibular area. Initial medical management with intravenous antibiotics was ineffective. Fine needle aspiration of the lesion reveals acid-fast bacilli on Ziehl-Neelsen staining. Subsequent biopsy demonstrates a granulomatous reaction in keeping with a Mycobacterial infection. Specific questioning reveals no family history of tuberculosis, abscesses or infections; there are no family pets, no exposure to birds and no unpasteurised milk consumption. An initial chest x-ray was normal and Mantoux testing was negative. Conventional anti-tuberculous therapy (Isoniazid, Rifampicin, and Pyrazinamide) is commenced.

6-year-old who comes to the clinic with limp and left knee pain. He is notably short for his age. The pain is worse after soccer practice and exacerbated by internal rotation of his hip. At times the pain is severe enough that he refuses to walk. His temperature is 37.1°C (98.8°F), pulse is 102/min, respirations are 24/min, and blood pressure is 102/74 mm Hg. A hip radiograph is obtained and shows the left proximal femoral epiphysis to be misshapen and more horizontal compared to the unaffected right hip, the femoral head appears collapsed.

Clinical features: Dull ache or throbbing pain localized to the groin, lateral hip, or buttocks. Pain with weight-bearing and activity that is relieved with rest Loss of rotation (internal and external) or abduction Sntalgic limp are observed. Children - persistent pain - a limp, - loss of motion, particularly internal rotation and abduction Adverse outcomes: - secondary OA, femoral head collapse, and disability
Avascular Necrosis of the Proximal Femur
Imaging: MRI is the study of choice for early detection. Radiography - normal early in the course of adult disease - later reveals a crescent sign in lateral films Radiography in children - show soft-tissue swelling - joint distension - increased bone density - fragmentation - deformed femoral head
Avascular Necrosis of the Proximal Femur
Results from loss of blood supply to the trabecular bone which causes a collapse of the femoral head Often bilateral. In children - Legg-Calvé-Perthes (LCP) disease - 2-11 y.o. Cause is generally unknown, but it is often seen in patients with a history of trauma, steroid use, alcohol abuse, RA, radiation therapy, and SLE.
Avascular Necrosis of the Proximal Femur
Treatment Protected weight-bearing for early stage disease is considered to be a temporary treatment Alendronate has been used to prevent early collapse. Surgical options range from core decompression to total hip replacement. In children - protected weight-bearing - little benefit has been shown from bracing.

Anorexia Nervosa
Treatment: Family members usually are first to bring this disorder to attention A multidisciplinary approach to treatment is essential. 1. Restore the patient's nutritional state. - Hospitalization often is indicated, especially if the patient is more than 20% below the expected body weight. 2. Outpatient management consists of behavioral therapy, family therapy, and supervised weight gain programs. This can be initiated by adding 500 calories more than the amount needed to maintain present weight and then increasing gradually by spreading feedings to 6/day. Certain antidepressants (amitriptyline, paroxetine, mirtazapine) can be used, especially when depression is present. - medications do not play a major role in the treatment of this disorder.

Burns
Health care providers are required to alert the appropriate authorities if suspected. When a young patient presents with any condition that appears questionable for physical, emotional, or sexual abuse or neglect, it is best to consult with a mental health professional or family social services. The child must be protected from further abuse as well as treated for current injuries.
Child Abuse
Physical signs: Any injury that cannot be adequately explained or is not consistent with the history given has the potential of being abuse. Bruises, lacerations, soft-tissue swelling, dislocations, or fractures and spiral fractures are common. Burns that are doughnut shaped, in a stocking-glove distribution, or symmetrically round (e.g., caused by a lit cigarette) Bruises or injuries that form regular patterns on the face, back, buttocks, or thighs Other physical signs are internal hemorrhages, abdominal injuries, bite marks, and injuries that have the shape of the instrument used to make them (e.g., belt, cord, hand).
Child Abuse
Psychiatric disturbances as a result are common Can be manifested in subtle ways, such as failure to thrive. Corporal punishment within reason is not normally considered to be abuse; it becomes abuse if the parent indicates receiving gratification while administering the punishment.
Child Abuse
When an adult allows a minor to engage in potentially harmful behavior (e.g., alcohol consumption) or remain unattended. In some states, leaving a child younger than 13 years of age at home alone is indicative.

Contact Dermatitis
Diagnostic studies: Direct visualization of the epiglottis is diagnostic, but manipulation may initiate sudden, fatal airway obstruction in children. This is less common in adults. Once the airway is secured, obtain a CBC and blood and epiglottic cultures. A lateral neck radiograph shows a swollen epiglottis (thumbprint sign)
Epiglottitis
Management: Secure airway: Do not move or upset the child unless prepared to manage the airway. Administer broad-spectrum second- or third-generation cephalosporin such as cefotaxime or ceftriaxone for 7 to 10 days. Dexamethasone may also be indicated to reduce inflammation.

Pinworms (enterobiasis)
Humans are the only host for Enterobius vermicularis Adult worms are loosely attached to the mucosa, primarily in the cecum Gravid females pass through the anus to lay eggs on the perianal skin. Infection is easily passed through hands, food, drink, and fomites. The eggs are swallowed and hatch in the duodenum; larvae pass to the cecum and mature in 3 to 4 weeks. The lifespan is 30 to 45 days
Pinworms (enterobiasis)
Treatment a.All members of the household should be treated concurrently. b.Albendazole, mebendazole, or pyrantel is administered in a single dose and then repeated 2 to 4 weeks later. c.Hand washing after defecation and before meals must be stressed. Bed sheets should be washed thoroughly.

15-year-old boy with severe lower abdominal pain that awoke him from sleep about 3 hours ago. The pain is sharp and radiates to the left thigh. While in the emergency room, the patient experiences one episode of vomiting. He denies any fever, dysuria, or chills. The mom reports a childhood history of cryptorchidism. Physical examination reveals normal vitals with blood pressure 100/60 and a temperature of 98.6F. The abdominal examination is relatively benign. Scrotal examination reveals an elevated left testis that is diffusely tender. Lifting of the left testicle does not relieve pain and there is a loss of a cremasteric reflex. Transillumination test is negative. Doppler ultrasound shows absent blood flow.

Involuntary loss of urine in a child older than 5 years Clinically significant = occurs > two times per week for > three consecutive months or affects day-to-day life Primary: - patients who have never successfully maintained a dry period - due to delayed maturational control or inadequate levels of ADH secretion during sleep Secondary enuretics: - dry for several months before regular wetting occurs
Enuresis
Treatment: Patients younger than 5 years of age do not require investigation or treatment Behavioral modification: - Nighttime audio alarm that sounds as soon as the child starts to urinate, eventually conditioning controlled bladder emptying Medications: - Desmopressin acetate (DDAVP) acts to concentrate the urine. If given in the evening, less urine is produced overnight, decreasing the likelihood of wetting With all therapies, the cure rate is 15% per year after the age of 5 Children who remain enuretic past age 8 have a 10% risk of never resolving their symptoms
Enuresis
Apparent before the second year of life that manifests as a deceleration in height. Height is hereditary and closely matches the parental height. Physical examination: The child has normal development without other signs or symptoms of disease.
Familial short stature
Special testing: It is rare that additional workup is necessary. Further testing to rule out other causes may include: - CBC - ESR - urinalysis - BUN and creatinine - serum electrolytes, including calcium and phosphorus - examination of stool for fat content - karyotype - intrinsic growth factor (IGF)-1 and IGF-binding protein 3 Radiography of the distal radius reveals bone age equal to chronological age. Treatment: Reassure parents that deceleration is normal and expected, especially if both parents are short.

Febrile Seizures
Diagnosis: Clinical diagnosis Consider lumbar puncture if suspicious of meningitis - lack of HiB or s. pneumoniae vaccination Physical exam suggesting meningitis or some CNS infection
Febrile Seizures
Risk factors: Elevated fever (≥ 38°C) Age - potentially due to developing nervous system being vulnerable to fever Viral infection (i.e., HHV-6, Influenza virus) Family history - potential genetic component Recent immunizations - the absolute risk is small
Febrile Seizures
Treatment: Mostly counseling, reassurance, and educating the parent Antipyretics help alleviate symptoms of fever Consider obtaining EEG though not required May treat with benzodiazepine if lasts >5 minutes Terminate status epilepticus with benzo or phenytoin Initiate status epilepticus protocol if continues Rarely develops into epilepsy Monitor complex febrile seizures as more likely to recur

Pneumonia may develop secondary to aspiration of toxic materials. Acute gastric aspiration is one of the most common causes of ARDS
Foreign Body Aspiration
Management Bronchoscopy may help to establish the diagnosis but can also be the treatment of choice for removal of the object. Cultures should be obtained if postobstructive pneumonia is suspected.
Foreign Body Aspiration
Unintentional inhalation of foreign body into the airway. MC in children <3 years and adults older than 50. Heimlich maneuver is lifesaving. The degree of injury depends on the substance aspirated. Most often food and can be life-threatening. 80% in mainstem or lobar bronchus right > left
Foreign Body Aspiration
Aggressive flushing can cause perforation of the tympanic membrane, so caution is advised while irrigating After each flush, it is prudent to recheck the external canal for retained foreign body (FB) fragments, which can occur with an insect Irrigation of the external ear can be uncomfortable for the child consider treating with topical pain agents such as benzocaine-anti-pyrene

13-year-old girl who is being seen in your office for a routine well-child exam. She denies back pain and states she began her menses 3 months ago. On Adams forward bending asymmetry in scapular height is noted. She has 5 of 5 motor strength in all muscle groups in her lower extremities and symmetric patellar and Achilles reflexes. You obtain standing PA and lateral radiographs.
Scoliosis
Clinical features: Asymmetry in the shoulder and iliac height Asymmetric scapular prominence Flank crease with forward bending, showing right thoracic and left lumbar prominence Gait and neurologic examinations are normal. Curves of less than 20 degrees, diagnosed less than 2 years postmenarche, and Risser stage 2 to 4 are less likely to progress than are other curves.
Scoliosis
Imaging: Single, standing AP radiographs if scoliometer readings of greater than 5 degrees Vertebral levels are identified on radiography. The greatest anterior tilt is measured by the Cobb method (measurement is perpendicular to the end plate of the most tilted [end] vertebra). - Curves of greater than 15% are significant. - Accurate measurement is best performed by an orthopedic specialist.
Scoliosis
Secondary to underlying causes (i.e., upper or lower motor neuron disease, myopathies) Idiopathic adolescent = MC spinal deformity evaluated by a clinician. - highest risk = girls b/n onset of puberty growth spurt and cessation of spinal growth A thoracic curve to the left is rare; other spinal cord pathology needs to be ruled out before making a diagnosis
Scoliosis
Treatment: Curves of 10 to 15 degrees - 6- to 12-month follow-up with clinical evaluation and possibly x-rays. Curves - 15 to 20 degrees need serial AP radiographic - every 3 to 4 months for larger curves - every 6 to 8 months for smaller curves or for patients near the end of growth Curves of 20 degrees or greater - referral to an orthopedist for continuous monitoring and management (bracing, electrical stimulation, or surgery).

6-month old girl is brought by her father for a scheduled check-up. The patient's father says they recently started feeding her mushy cereal, which she seems to like but occasionally spits up. He also reports that she has started teething and sometimes becomes "fussy." Vital signs are within normal limits. You note a happy appearing child with an "open mouth look" and drooling.
Teething
Classic signs and symptoms: Excessive drooling Chewing on objects Irritability or crankiness Sore or tender gums A slight increase in temperature — but no fever
Teething
Treatment: Chewing on a chilled [not frozen] ring or other devices - Rings and other chewing devices should be one piece - These devices should not be dipped in sugary substances - Necklaces, bracelets, or anklets that are made of beads should be avoided Avoid OTC or prescription topical analgesics (eg, lidocaine, benzocaine) for pain If especially fussy - Acetaminophen (Tylenol) - Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)
Teething
Common characteristics: Short stature Webbed neck Prominent ears Low posterior hairline Broad chest with widely spaced nipples Increased carrying angle Congenital lymphedema. Other characteristics may include: - hearing impairment - visual and spatial perceptive disabilities - primary amenorrhea - ovarian dysgenesis - absence of secondary sex characteristics - coarctation of the aorta - horseshoe kidney - aortic stenosis
Turner Syndrome
Diagnosis: Based primarily on physical exam and patient history Labs ⇒ low anti-Mullerian hormone Karyotype analysis is the diagnostic test of choice Fertility testing may identify 45XO, confirming the diagnosis Endoscopy may identify GI telangiectasias causing lower GI bleeding

16-year-old female presents for evaluation of delayed onset of menstruation. She is concerned as her friends have all had their first menese. She denies any additional significant PMHx. On physical exam, her temperature is 98.8°F, blood pressure is 114/64 mmHg, pulse is 73/min, and respirations are 13/min. The patient is short statured, has a short neck and wide torso. You note webbing skin between the neck and shoulders. She has Tanner stage I breast development and pubic hair with normal external female genitalia. On bimanual exam, the vagina is of normal length and the cervix is palpable.
Turner Syndrome
9-month-old female with nasal congestion and cough is brought to your clinic by her mother who reports that the child is very fussy, has been tugging at her right ear, and refuses to eat. On physical exam, you note copious green/yellow nasal discharge and right-sided otorrhea. An otoscopic exam reveals a significant amount of clear/white discharge obstructing your view. With careful examination, you are able to observe a ruptured right tympanic membrane.
Tympanic Membrane Perforation
Causes: - infection (acute otitis media) - trauma (i.e., barotrauma, direct impact, or explosion). Most cases will resolve on their own; Surgical repair of the tympanic membrane as well as the ossicular chain (with persistent hearing loss) may be necessary. Water/moisture to the ear should be avoided to prevent a secondary infection that can impede closure.
Tympanic Membrane Perforation
3-year-old girl is brought to your office for a routine checkup. She was recently adopted and her past medical history is unknown. The patient's parents state that she was very emaciated when they adopted her and noticed she has trouble seeing in the evening. They also note that she was experiencing profuse foul-smelling diarrhea as well, which is currently being worked up by a gastroenterologist. Her temperature is 98.3°F, blood pressure is 106/64 mmHg, pulse is 104/min, respirations are 17/min, and oxygen saturation is 99% on room air. The girl appears very thin. She has dry skin noted on physical exam.

Vitamin A Deficiency
MC cause = pernicious anemia because of a lack of intrinsic factor Other causes - strict vegan diet - gastric surgery - blind loop syndrome - pancreatic insufficiency - metformin use - Crohn disease. Irreversible neurologic damage can be caused by uncorrected deficiency. Absorption occurs in the terminal ileum and storage is in the liver.
Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Treatment: Lifelong supplemental vitamin B12 given IM for pernicious anemia. Daily oral cobalamin may be effective, especially after an adequate parenteral loading. Strict vegans; patients with gastric bypass, gastrectomy, or resection of the ileum; and those with blind loop syndrome require vitamin B12 supplementation Neurologic signs and symptoms are reversible if treated within 6 months.

13-year-old boy who presents with a rash. He is accompanied by his mother who first noticed red dots on his skin last week that have been spreading over the last few days. The patient's mother notes that his gums have begun to bleed after brushing his teeth and he has been sleeping more than usual. He has not been ill recently or received any vaccines. The boy had an unremarkable birth history and was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at age three. He is primarily nonverbal and attends a school for children with special needs. Exam reveals a thin boy who avoids eye contact and does not respond to verbal questions. Cardiopulmonary exams are unremarkable. The hair on his arms is coiled. The child's leg shows diffuse petechiae on the leg and you note gingival hemorrhage.
Vitamin C Deficiency
Responsible for scurvy The body cannot synthesize, must obtain from the diet Risk factors include: - food insecurity - feeding infants evaporated/boiled cow's milk
Vitamin C Deficiency
5-year-old who presents to your office for an initial visit. The child just immigrated from Africa and is now living in his new home. The patient is small for his age and is in the 5th percentile for height and 10th percentile for weight. His parents are concerned as the child has complained of leg pain and chest pain ever since he fell off the monkey bars at school. A radiograph of the chest demonstrates expansion of the anterior rib ends at the costochondral junctions and a radiograph of the legs demonstrates genu varum. The cardiac and pulmonary exam are within normal limits.
