Presentation transcript:

Wheezing in infants A wheeze is a musical and continuous sound that originates from oscillations in narrowed airways. Wheezing is heard mostly on expiration as a result of critical airway obstruction.

Acute bronchiolitis Predominantly a viral disease. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is responsible for >50% of cases.Other agents include parainfluenza,adenovirus, Mycoplasma, and, occasionally, other viruses. Acute bronchiolitis is characterized by bronchiolar obstruction with edema, mucus, and cellular debris.

CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS The infant 1st develops a mild upper respiratory tract infection with sneezing and clear rhinorrhea. fever of 38.5–39°C Gradually, respiratory distress ensues, with paroxysmal wheezy cough, dyspnea, and irritability.

physical examination wheezing. The degree of tachypnea does not always correlate with the degree of hypoxemia or hypercarbia nasal flaring and retractions. fine crackles or overt wheezes, with prolongation of the expiratory phase. Hyperinflation of the lungs may permit palpation of the liver and spleen.

DIAGNOSIS The diagnosis is clinical, particularly in a previously healthy infant presenting with a first-time wheezing episode during a community outbreak. chest radiography reveals hyperinflated lungs with patchy atelectasis. The white blood cell and differential counts are usually normal. Viral testing

TREATMENT Infants with acute bronchiolitis who are experiencing respiratory distress should be hospitalized. mainstay of treatment is supportive. If hypoxemic, the child should receive cool humidified oxygen. The infant may be fed through a nasogastric tube. Frequent suctioning of nasal and oral secretions often provides relief of distress or cyanosis.

TREATMENT A trial dose of inhaled bronchodilator may be reasonable, with further therapy predicated on response in the individual patient. Corticosteroids are not recommended in previously healthy infants with RSV

TREATMENT Ribavirin, an antiviral agent administered by aerosol, has been used for infants with congenital heart disease or chronic lung disease. Antibiotics have no value unless there is secondary bacterial pneumonia. No support for RSV immunoglobulin administration during acute episodes of RSV bronchiolitis.

PROGNOSIS The case fatality rate is <1%, with death attributable to apnea, uncompensated respiratory acidosis, or severe dehydration. Infants with conditions such as congenital heart disease, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and immunodeficiency often have more severe disease, with higher morbidity and mortality.

PROGNOSIS There is a higher incidence of wheezing and asthma in children with a history of bronchiolitis unexplained by family history or other atopic syndromes.

PREVENTION pooled hyperimmune RSV intravenous immunoglobulin (RSV-IVIG) and palivizumab, an intramuscular monoclonal antibody to the RSV F protein, before and during RSV season. Palivizumab is recommended for infants <2 yr of age with chronic lung disease (bronchopulmonary dysplasia) or prematurity. Meticulous handwashing is the best measure to prevent nosocomial transmission.

Wheezing associated conditions Bronchial asthma Cystic fibrosis Congenital malformations (Rings and slings ) Foreign body aspiration Gastro esophageal reflux Trauma and tumors

Bronchial asthma Asthma is characterized by airway inflammation, bronchial hyperreactivity, and reversibility of obstruction. Of all the infants who wheezed before 3 yr old, almost 60% stopped wheezing by 6 yr. Risk factors for persistent wheezing included maternal asthma, maternal smoking, allergic rhinitis, and eczema at <1 yr of age.

Cystic fibrosis Persistent respiratory symptoms, digital clubbing, malabsorption, failure to thrive, electrolyte abnormalities, or a resistance to bronchodilator treatment.

Congenital malformations External vascular compression includes a vascular ring, or a vascular sling Cardiovascular causes of wheezing include dilated chambers of the heart, and pulmonary edema.

Foreign body aspiration 78% of those who die from foreign body aspiration are between 2 mo and 4 yr old. Atypical histories or misleading clinical and radiologic findings may be misdiagnosed with asthma or another obstructive disorder as inflammation and granulation develop around the foreign body.

Gastroesophageal reflux Can cause wheezing with or without direct aspiration into the tracheobronchial tree. Without aspiration, the reflux is thought to trigger a vagal or neural reflex, causing increased airway resistance and airway reactivity

Trauma and tumors Accidental or nonaccidental aspirations, burns, or scalds of the tracheobronchial tree can cause inflammation of the airways and subsequent wheezing. Any space-occupying lesion either in the lung itself or extrinsic to the lung can cause tracheobronchial compression and obstruction.

PNEUMONIA Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) :acute infection of the pulmonary parenchyma in a patient who has acquired the infection in the community, as distinguished from…. hospital-acquired pneumonia (nosocomial).

Viral pneumonia Most children younger than 5 years of age who are admitted to the hospital with pneumonia have viral pneumonia. Viral pneumonia does not require antibiotic therapy, unless a mixed infection or secondary bacterial infection is suspected.

Typical bacterial pneumonia Typical bacterial pneumonia may occur in children of all ages. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common type of bacterial cause of pneumonia in children of all ages. S. aureus Strept pyogenes H. influenzae type b,nontypeable H. influenzae, and M. catarrhalis. Antibiotic regimens include: amoxicillin,Ceftriaxone or cefotaxime.

Atypical bacterial pneumonia (M. pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae) is most common in children older than 5 years. Antibiotic include: Erythromycin or Azithromycin For children older than 8 years: Doxycycline

Nosocomial pneumonia S. aureus, Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and anaerobes. Acceptable broad-spectrum empiric regimens include an aminoglycoside plus: Piperacillin-tazobactam or Meropenem. clindamycin plus an aminoglycosides

Aspiration pneumonia Appropriate antibiotics regimens for hospitalized children include: Clindamycin or Meropenem Immunocompromised host : vancomycin if methicillin-resistant staphylococcus is considered. and possibly trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for Pneumocystis jirovecii.

DURATION OF TREATMENT Uncomplicated cases : 7-10 days or at least one week beyond resolution of fever. Complicated cases (necrotizing pneumonia and lung abscess) : four weeks or two weeks after the patient is afebrile and has improved clinically.

PROGNOSIS Most otherwise healthy children with pneumonia recover without sequelae, even if the pneumonia is complicated.
