Outpatient Pediatric Potpourri 3 Things You Need to Know About… Miranda D. Lu, MD Emily Hersh-Burdick, MD Lindsey Hay, MD October 15, 2013
2
Case 1 3:10PM – 3mo F here for WCC
3
Background WA had the highest exemption rate in the country in 2011 2011 Immunization Exemption Law dropped rates by ~25% A lot of misinformation. Even parents who do vaccinate have concerns about vaccinations. CASE 1 3:10pm
4
3 common concerns re: vaccinations 1. Overwhelming the Immune System 2. Thimerosal 3. Link to autism CASE 1 3:10pm
5
How would you respond? 1. Overwhelming the Immune System No scientific evidence for harm to the immune system or blunted response. A child receiving 11 vaccines in 1 day would use up <1% of his or her immune system. CASE 1 3:10pm
6
How would you respond? 2. Thimerosal Ethylmercury preservative Removed in 1999 to eliminate possibility of risks associated w/ methylmercury Current use: multi-dose influenza 2004 IOM review: no link between autism & thimerosal 2012: AAP recommends continued use CASE 1 3:10pm
7
How would you respond? 3. Autism controversy 1998- Andrew Wakefield Lancet review suggests link between MMR & autism 2004- 10 of 13 authors retract papers interpretation 2010- Wakefields license revoked & Lancet retracts paper 2011- BMJ concludes research was fraudulent Evidence does NOT support link CASE 1 3:10pm
8
What options & resources can you suggest? WA DOH Publication: Plain Talk about Childhood Immunization Alternative Schedules: The Vaccine Book, by Robert W. Sears, MD CASE 1 3:10pm

14
Should this patient be treated with antibiotics? Why or why not? CASE 2 3:25pm AgeTreatWait & see <6moall 6mo - 2yoSevere Nonsevere bilateral Nonsevere unilateral 2yoSevereNonsevere severe = moderate or severe otalgia, otalgia >48hrs, T>39C nonsevere = mild otalgia <48hrs, T<39C
15
What is your treatment plan? Treat otalgia Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, Benzocaine gtt Antibiotics 1 st line: Amoxicillin (80-90 mg/kg/d, BID dosing) PCN allergy: cefuroxime, cefdinir, cefpodoxime, CTX Amox in last 30d, purulent conjunctivitis, or failed amoxicillin: Augmentin Duration: 10d 7d if 2-5yo w/ mild or moderate AOM 5-7d if >5yo Side effects of Abx: Diarrhea, diaper dermatitis, allergic reaction, overuse> Abx resistance CASE 2 3:25pm

How should we test her for IDA? CASE 3 3:40pm Hemoglobin: poor Se & Sp 10-11 therapeutic trial of Fe <10 Ferritin + CRP or CHr (reticulocyte Hgb concentration) <7 or >2- 3yo Work up other causes ZPPH Additional Work-up: Reticulocyte count PBS FOBT + Se Fe, ferritin, TIBC, TF saturation Hgb electrophoresis B12, Folate
