1
Respiratory tract infectious
2
Respiratory tract infectious Upper Lower Common cold Bronchitis Pharyngitis Bronchiolitis Laryngitis Pneumonia Acute otitis media Acute sinusitis
3
Upper respiratory tract infection Etiology: Viruses: e.g rhinoviruses, adenoviruses, RSV, enteroviruses, EBV, Bacteria: e.g Streptococcus. Pnumococcus, Hemophilus influezna,moraxella catarrhalis Fungi: e.g Candida albicans,
4
Common cold -coryza Viral ethiology Clear or mucopurulent nasal discharge or nasal blockage Fever may occur Other symptoms : tiredness, headache, Treatment : paracetamol, ibupropfen,
5
Pharyngitis Symtoms: Throat pain, Fever Physical exam: Inflammed,red pharynx, lymph nodes can be enlarged Etiology: 2/3 viral, 1/3 bacterial
6
Viral Bacterial drops of dew- like pharynx distinctly red accompanying coryza coryza lymph nodes slightly enlarged or not enlarged lymph nodes prominently enlarged and tender Laboratory test Usually low CRP,WBC, Lymphocyte in Blood film High CRP, WBC low or high Neutrophil granulocyte
7
Viral
8
Bacterial
9
Tonsilitis Fever red and/or swollen tonsils white or yellow patches on the tonsils tender, stiff, and/or swollen neck(swollen lymph nodes) painful or difficult swallowing Sore throat Abdominal pain, vomiting Antibiotic should be given (penicillin, macrolid)
10
Tonsilitis
11
Mononucleosis(glandular fever) fever tonsilitis (sometimes causing airway narrowing) prominent lymphadenopathy (Neron ’ s neck) hepatosplemomegaly a maculopapullar rash no positive reaction to antibiotic most commonly contracted by adolescents and young adults ages Etiology: mostly EBV
12
Mononucleosis
13
Scarlet fever acute, bacterial, rash disease of childhood caused by β hemolytic streptoccoccus, group B incubation period 1-7 days ( average-3 days) acute onset, fever,vomiting, abdominal pain, pharyngitis, tonsilitis rash appears on 1 or 2 day- macular,punctate intensively red characteristic location on face- paleness around mouth, spreading downwords
14
Scarlet fever characteristic tongue ( white strawberry tongue → red strawberry tongue haemorrhagic lesions in articular fossae ( Pastia lines) Desquamation begins after a week from face to limbs
18
Acute infection of the middle ear fever, pain in ear, irritation, loss of appetite examination of tympanic membrane: loss of normal light reflection, bulging, red membrane
20
acute infection of the middle ear Complications: mastoiditis meningitis Reccurent ear infection may cause chronic secretory otitis media( glue ear), leading to hearing loss
23
Sinusitis Sinusitis is inflammation of the paranasal sinuses Most cases are due to a viral infection Pain, swelling, tendreness over a cheek, nasal blockage, headache Treatment: antibiotics, histamine blockers, decongestants,
26
Laryngitis Symptoms Hoarseness or no voice at all Dry, sore burning, throat Coughing, barking cough stridor Difficulty swallowing Sensation of swelling in the area of the larynx Cold or flu-like symptoms Swollen lymph nodes Fever Difficulty breathing (mostly in children) Difficulty eating Increased production of saliva in mouth
28
Comparison of clinical features of subglottic laryngitis and epiglottitis Subglottic laryngitis Epiglottitis Onset over days over hours Preceding coryza + - Cough severe, barking slight or absent Ablity to swallow + - Drooling saliva - + Appearence unwell unwell toxic, very ill Fever <38,5 <38,5 >38,5 >38,5 Stridor harsh, rasping harsh, rasping soft,whispering soft,whispering Voice,cryhoarse Reluctant to speak
29
Treatment of suglottic laryngitis Nebulised steroids and 0,9 % NaClsaline Systemic steroids Oxygen therapy Usually no antibiotics are needed Etiology: mostly viral or allergens
30
Epiglottic laryngitis Etiology: Haemophilus influenzae HIB, rare after HIB vaccinations Treatment of epiglottitis In intensive care unit Intubation Antibiotic (cephalosporin II, III generation)
31
LTRI Bronchitis (acute, obturative) Bronchiolitis Pneumonia
32
Bronchitis Bronchitis is inflammation of the mucous membranes of the bronchi Etiology: Viruses ( Parainfluenzae, Adenovirus, RS-virus, Rhinovirus) Bacteria (Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus) Atopy
33
Symtoms of bronchitis non-productive cough productive cough dyspnoe (due to obturation) fever vomiting wheezing dry rale coarse rattling
34
Treatment mucolitycs (eg cysteine derivates, Ambroksol) bronchodilating drugs- Beta Agonist, Ipratropii bromidum Steroids Antibiotics- mainly used in newborns and small chlildren when bacterial infection is suspected (eg Amoxicilline, Cephalosporin antibiotics I, II generation- Cefalotin, Cefuroxim)
36
Broncholitis Etiology: viruses (RS virus, Parainfluenzae, Influenzae, Adenovirus) One of the most danger LRTI due to lifethreatening respiratory insufficiency
37
Bronchiolitis Typical childhood infection Most often in infancy Cough,expiratory dyspnoe, fever Involvment of bronchioli Respiratory insufficinecy Wheezing, crackles
38
Bronchiolatis Oxygen therapy, Bronchodilators- Berodual, Ventolin, Atrovent Steroids-nebulized and/or systemic Nebulized epinephrine Nebulized hypertonic saline (3%)
39
dyspnoe Sternal, subcostal and intercostal recession Nasal flaring Hyperinflation of chest (sternum prominent, liver displaced downward) Dyscoordination of chest and abdomen movment
42
Pneumonia Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs. It is a serious infection in which air sacs in the lungs fill with pus and other liquid. Pneumonia may be lobar or bronchial Pneumonia is most common in winter and spring. About 10 to 15 percent of children with a respiratory infection have pneumonia.
43
Pneumonia The pathogens causing pneumonia vary according to the child's age: Newborn - organisms from the mother's genital tract, particularly group B streptococcus, but also Gram-negative enterococci
44
Pneumonia Infants and young children -mostly respiratory viruses, particularly RSV, are most common, but olso bacterial infections include Streptococcus pneumoniae or Haemophilus influenzae. Bordetella pertussis and Chlamydia trachomatis can also cause pneumonia at this age. An infrequent but serious cause is Staphylococcus aureus Children over 5 years - Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae are the main causes. At all ages Mycobacterium tuberculosis should be considered
45
Pneumonia-symptoms: fever and cough are the first to develop persistent cough that may last three to four weeks severe cough that may produce some mucus chest or stomach pain decrease in appetite chills breathing fast or hard vomiting headache not feeling well
46
Pneumonia tachypnoea, nasal flaring chest indrawing crackles over the affected area dullness on percussion, decreased breath sounds bronchial breathing
47
Pneumonia-diagnosis chest x ray- segmental involvement,diffuse peribronchiolar densities,effusion blood tests- e.g. blood cell count, CRP, sputum culture pulse oximetry
50
Treatment antibiotics Increased fluid intake oxygen therapy frequent suctioning of your child's nose and mouth (to help get rid of thick secretions) medication for cough sometimes bronchdilators
51
Pneumonia Complications: most common: abscesses, empyema less common: peritonitis, pericarditis,
