Editor's Notes

  • #23 Goblet cell is a glandular, modified simple columnar epithelial cell whose function is to secrete gel-forming mucins, the major components of mucus. Mucin: hydrated mucinogen, a secretion containing CHO such as those from the goblet cells of gut, submaxillary g, and other mucous glands; it is also present in the ground substance of con. tissue, especially mucous CT, is soluble in alkaline water, and is precipitated by acetic acid; mucins lubricate and protect body cavity linings
  • #30 SS: symptoms and signs
  • #33 WHO pn. is the leading c/of death in children worldwide; kills an estimated 1.1 million U-5 children/y – more than AIDS, malaria and TB combined can be prevented by immunization, adequate nutrition and by addressing environmental factors c/by bacteria can be Rx with ABs, but 30% of children with it receive the ABs Death from diarrhoeal D has been dramatically lowered by successful ORT
  • #36 Under-five mortality: situation: 6.3 million died in 2013, 17000/d Highest in  Africa (90/1000 lb), x7 higher than that in Europe (12/1000lb). Many countries still have v high mortality – particularly those in Africa, home to 11 of 12 countries with a rate &amp;gt;100/1000lb. In 2013, the U-5MR in low-income countries was 76/1000lb – x13 the average rate in high-income countries (6/1000lb). Reducing these inequities across countries and saving more children’s lives by ending preventable child deaths are important priorities
  • #42 Pneumocystis jirovecii: a yeast-like fungus; causes Pneumocystis pneumonia, an imp. pathogen, particularly among immunocompromised; aka P. carinii
  • #56 HW: health worker
  • #57 G+ve capsulated diplococcus. Some have a halo: capsule. The capsule gives a survival advantage
  • #64 Pneumatoceles are thin-walled, air-filled cysts within lung; can be single emphysematous but are more often multiple. Most often seen in ac. Pn., commonly by S aureus; also with S pneumoniae, Hib, E coli, GAS, Serratia marcescens, K pneumoniae, adenovirus, TB; generally seen soon after pn. but can be observed initially. Noninf. causes: hydrocarbon ingestion, trauma, and PP ventilation. In preemies with RDS, pneumatoceles result mostly from ventilator-induced lung injury. Mostly they are asymptomatic and do not require surgery. Rx of pneumonia with ABT is the first-line therapy. Close observation in the early stages and periodic FU care is usually adequate. The natural course is slow with no further clinical sequelae. Invasive approaches should only be reserved for patients who develop complications
  • #65 Fig. 1A: CXR: ill-defined R perihilar opacity obscuring R heart border and contains no air bronchograms. Lateral XR: Fig. 1B: a corresponding triangular opacity with its base abutting the sternum and its apex directed toward hilum. Note anterior displacement of oblique fissure and elevation of R hemi-diaphragm. Dx: : R Middle Lobe Atelectasis (Endobronchial Sq Cell Lung Ca)
  • #68 ABT: usually ampi-genta, chloramphenicol When the child is kept at home, teach the mother how to observe s/of breathlessness. Ask her to report to the HC immediately if there is deterioration
  • #69 WHO classification and Rx of childhood pn. at health facilities 2 major changes: (A) now just 2 categories of pn. instead of 3 (“pn.” which is treated at home with oral amoxicillin and “severe pn.” which requires Injectable AB and (B) oral amoxicillin replaces oral cotrimoxazole as DoC, preferably in 250mg dispersible tablet form, 2/d x5d which can be reduced to 3 in low HIV settings
  • #71 For persistent cough (&amp;gt;30d) full Ix are required to exclude TB, cong. HD, FB, atopy, etc.
  • #84 Epiglottis: ceftriaxone is DoC. This is broad-spectrum against gram-negative, lower efficacy against gram-positive: 100mg/kg/d IV on first day; follow with 50 mg/kg on day 2 or 75 mg/kg qDay for 10-14 days
  • #85 Croup is a common resp. problem in young children. Common in the fall and winter. Main symptom is a harsh, barking cough. Causes edema in larynx, trachea, bronchi. This can make it hard for your child to breathe. It can be scary, but rarely serious; usually better in several days with rest and care at home C/by the same viruses of common cold.
  • #88 Laryngitis is one of the most common conditions in the larynx. It manifests in both acute and chronic forms. Ac laryngitis is usually self-limited. If &amp;gt;3w, it is chronic. The etiology of AL: vocal misuse, exposure to noxious agents, URTI. Mostly viral but sometimes bacterial. Pix: larynx of a 62y F with an intermittent exudative AL treated conservatively. Rarely, laryngitis is autoimmune (RA, relapsing polychondritis, Wegener granulomatosis, sarcoidosis). CL may be c/by cigarette smoke or polluted air (chemicals), irritation from asthma inhalers, vocal misuse, or GERD. Vocal misuse: increased adducting force of the vocal folds: increased contact and friction between folds. The area becomes swollen. Vocal therapy has the greatest benefit in the patient with CL Although AL is usually not a result of vocal abuse, vocal abuse is often a result of AL. The underlying inf/inflam results in a hoarse voice. Typically, the pt exacerbates dysphonia by misuse of the voice in an attempt to maintain premorbid phonating ability
  • #98 WHO Zinc is imp for cellular growth, cellular differentiation and metabolism. Deficiency limits growth and decreases immunity. Although severe deficiency is rare, mild to moderate may be common worldwide. Zinc may reduce frequency and severity of ARI. Zinc deficient children are at increased risk of restricted growth and developing D, ARI. D and pn. are the 2 most common c/of U-5MR in LICs. Undernutrition is considered the underlying c/of 50% of pn.. Pn alone kills more than AIDS, malaria or measles combined. Zn may reduce the number of episodes and severity of bronchiolitis and pn. Zinc and ORS is the basis of management of D.
