27 Sick vs Not Sick Focus vs No Focus Well vs Unwell
28 15 m/o boy 3 days of fever Previously well- normal development 3 day history of fussiness, fever UTD on vaccines - Prevnar x 3 No focus on exam
29 What work-up would you do? A. UA & UC B. CBC, UA & UC C. CBC, BC, UA & UC D. Reassurance, watchful waiting
30 Same patient, but also RSV (+) A. UA & UC B. CBC, UA & UC C. CBC, BC, UA & UC D. Reassurance, watchful waiting

32 Bilateral frontal infarcts T2 DWI
33 10 m/o boy 1 day of fever Previously well- normal development Seen in ER with 1 day of fever, 12 hour so vomiting, loose stool UTD on vaccines - Prevnar x 3 No focus on exam
34 What work-up would you do? A. UA & UC B. CBC, UA & UC C. CBC, BC, UA & UC D. Reassurance, watchful waiting

36 Admitted to Pediatric ward around 7 a.m. On rounds at 10:30, parents and baby were sleeping, so they were not interrupted Intern mentions that since WBC was elevated, maybe we should get a BC and give a dose of Ceftriaxone. Attending and SR remark that the guidelines state that CBC was not even recommended, and WBC is no longer a discriminator.
37 What would you do? A. Continue to watch clinically B. Send a blood culture, do not give antibiotics C. Give antibiotics, no BC is needed D. Send a blood culture and give ceftriaxone
38 At 1:30 p.m. parents called nurse to room Child was having extensor posturing A code was called Intubated, BC drawn, Vanc/Ceftazidime started CT scan showed herniation Blood culture grew S. pneumo (non-vaccine strain)

43 The emerged themes were fear of complications by 18 (75%), perception that LP was unnecessary by 5 (21%), and distrust of the motives behind the request for consent. Fear of paralysis and conviction that LP is unnecessary encompassed 80% of the causes for refusal. Eleven families (46%) stated that nothing would have made them consent, and 10 (42%) would agree only if the child looked unwell or deteriorated.
44
45 Let s divide the risk people are worried about into two components. The technical side of the risk focuses on the magnitude and probability of undesirable outcomes: paralysis, other complication, poorly performed procedure, discomfort of their child. Call all this hazard. The non-technical side of the risk focuses on everything negative about the situation itself (as opposed to those outcomes). Is it voluntary or coerced, familiar or exotic, dreaded or not dreaded? Are you trustworthy or untrustworthy, responsive or unresponsive? Call all of this outrage.
46 My recommendations 0-30 days- Temp 38 Complete work-up for all babies Blood, Urine CSF HSV PCR and Acyclovir for babies with seizures, skin lesions, CSF lymphocytosis, elevated ALT/AST days- Temp of 38.3 Toxic- Full evaluation Unwell- Urine and WBC Well- Urine
47 My recommendations 3-6 month- Temp of 39 Toxic- Full evaluation Unwell- CBC, BC, Urine Well- Urine > 6 months, fully immunized- Temp of 39.5 Non-Toxic- CBC, Urine Well- Urine or nothing >6 months, under-immunized- Temp of 39.5 CBC, BC, Urine
48 What if there is a focus on exam? Is a Recognizable Viral Syndrome a focus? NB: Vomiting is not a focus, it is a RED FLAG
