  16. Chest pain: possible differential diagnosis • Infectious costochondritis: Tietze syndrome • Pleurodynia • Pneumonia: Pyogenic Empyema Necessitatis • Musculoskeletal chest wall pain: Osteomyelitis

  17. Dyspnea: possible mechanism Pediatric Respiratory Medicine P370 • ↓Pulmonary compliance: Inflammation • ↑Airway Resistance: Airway inflammation & hyperreactivity • ↑Sensory Stimuli: Chest wall • ↑Chemical Stimuli: Hypoxemia, CO2, Acidosis

  18. Chest wall lesions in childhood • A wide range of pathologies. I. Benign lesions: include a. Lipoma /Lipoblastoma: usually painless, occur in the first 2 years b. Neurofibroma: Painless, associated with neurofibrosis type I c. Lymphangioma: Painless,associated with a variety of other syndromes such as asplenia,Noonan’s syndrome, and tuberculosis.

  19. Chest wall lesions in childhood d. Haemangioma and AVM : congenital lesions. e. Mesenchymal hamartoma : benign lesion of infancy with most lesions presenting before 2 years of age.

  20. Chest wall lesions in childhood II. Malignant lesions: include a. Neuroblastoma: occur before 5 years of age, abdominal mass b. Rhabdomyosarcoma:common found in head/ neck or extremities c. Ewing’s sarcoma, Askin tumour, Primitive neuroectodermal tumours: : all belong to the group of small round blue cell tumor of childhood. : Usually presenting in the second decade of life.

  21. Chest wall lesions in childhood II. Manifestations of systemic diseases: e. Leukaemia/ Lymphoma : always be excluded in a child : presenting with multiple bone lesions or bone pain, hematologic finding. f. Langerhans cell histocytosis

  22. Chest wall lesions in childhood III. Infections a. Tuberculosis: -TB on the chest wall can occur as an isolated primary infection with no evidence of pulmonary disease - Spread to the chest wall from pulmonary infection may also occur althrough symptoms may be minor - Presentation may be similar to pyogenic abscess or simply an enlarging mass.

  23. Chest wall lesions in childhood b. Actinomycosis : rare, may mimic TB with pulmonary infiltration and spread to the chest wall c. Aspergilosis: in immunocompromised patients, usually by local invasion from the lung. d. Progenic abscess : Staphylococcus, Klebsiella infection e. Other infection illness: Strongyloidiasis (Strongyloides stercoralis)糞小桿線蟲

  24. Chest wall lesions in childhood IV. Other lesions: a. Pseudo-lesions: found in cildren of early teenage years presenting with a hard lump in costochondral cartilage. : Usually no specific symptoms. b. Thoracic cage anomalies,osteochondroma, hemangiopericytoma

  25. Chest wall mass: possibile DDx • Tuberculosis • Actinomycosis • Pyogenic abscess • Strongyloidiasis (Strongyloides stercoralis)

  26. Differential diagnosis Chest pain • Infectious costochondritis: Tietz syndrome • Pleurodynia • Pneumonia- Pyogenic Empyema Necessitatis • Osteomyelitis Chest mass • Tuberculosis • Actinomycosis • Pyogenic abscess • Strongyloidiasis • Dyspnea • ↑Airway Resistance: Airway inflammation & hyperreactivity • ↓Pulmonary compliance: Inflammation • ↑Sensory Stimuli: Chest wall • ↑Chemical Stimuli: Hypoxemia, CO2, Acidosis

  27. 1. Tietze syndrome: infectious costochondritis • Inflammation of the costal cartilages (Costochondritis) with a large, tender, fusiform (spindle-shaped), nonsuppurative swelling at the costochondral or chondrosternal junction. Principles and Practice of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 2nd ed • Etiology: -Exact cause unclear -Most often idiopathic -Associated with excessive exercise, chest injury or a preceding viral respiratory illness (postinfectious)

  28. 1. Tietze syndrome • Epidemiology -Generally occurs in late teens to early twenties, but has been described in young children. • S/s: sharp pain in anterior chest wall, may radiate to back or upper abdomen. : varies in intensity and quality. • PE: Tender by palpation at local site or movements of the arm or shoulder. :May show evidence of tachypnea, tachycardia or systolic HTN. : Distortion of local soft tissue.

  29. 1. Tietze syndrome • Diagnostic workup -Made with historical and physical clues. -Biopsy: increased cartilage and lack of inflammatory fibrosis. • Management: NSAIDs, Injections into the painful area with triamcinolone are sometimes curative. Question: Fever ? preceding viral respiratory illness?

  30. 2. Pleurodynia Nelson 17ed p1045, Principles and Practice of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 2nd ed P1183 • Etiologic agents are most frequently coxsackieviruses B3 and B5, as well as coxsackieviruses B1 and B2 and echoviruses 1 and 6. Nelson 17ed p1045 • Sex:Males are affected more than females. Half of these patients are younger than 5 years, and 30% are younger than 1 year. • Coxsackievirus B usually causes an asymptomatic or brief upper respiratory tract or gastroenteric infection. Nelson 17ed p1045 • The virus has an incubation time of 1 week in the GI tract and subsequently involves the target organs through hematogenous dissemination.

  31. 2. Pleurodynia Nelson 17ed p1045, Principles and Practice of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 2nd ed P1183 • Prodromal symptoms such as malaise, myalgias, headache and diarrhea are followed by sudden onset of fever and pain. Principles and Practice of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 2nd ed P1183 • Involvement of the intercostal and other muscles of respiration results in enhanced pain with deep breathing and a sensation of “pleuritic” pain that can result in splinting of the chest and rapid, shallow breathing. Principles and Practice of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 2nd ed P1183 • Pain, typically located in the chest or upper abdomen, and is spasmodic and can be excruciatingly severe. Nelson 17ed p1045 • During spasms, respirations are usually rapid, shallow, and grunting, pale, sweaty, and shock-like appearance.Nelson 17ed p1045

  32. 2. Pleurodynia Nelson 17ed p1045, Principles and Practice of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 2nd ed P1183 • Causes necrosis of the striated intercostal muscles in patients with pleurodynia. • Muscle tenderness can be detected by direct palpation; less commonly, localized swelling is observed ( Sylvest, 1934 ) • Associated symptoms related to the viral infection may include the following: -Upper respiratory tract symptoms, including sore throat, rhinitis, and cough. -Constitutional symptoms, including headaches (50%), fever, and malaise

  33. 2. Pleurodynia Nelson 17ed p1045, Principles and Practice of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 2nd ed P1183 -GI symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (50%), and in children, abdominal pain (usually in the epigastric area) • Diagnosis: -Viral cultures(throat) isolation of coxsackievirus B in cell cultures . -RT-PCR(throat) -Histologic Findings: Necrosis of the striated intercostal muscles is visible . -Serum creatine kinase is usually elevated because of muscle necrosis. -CxR: reveals clear lung fields; less than 10% of patients have a pleural friction rub or pleural fluid evident on chest radiographs.

  34. 2. Pleurodynia Nelson 17ed p1045, Principles and Practice of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 2nd ed P1183 • Illness usually lasts 3–6 days, but can last up to a couple of weeks. • Illness may occasionally be associated with meningitis, orchitis, myocarditis, or pericarditis. • Management: -Analgesics and limitation of physical activity are helpful in reducing pain, which is generally most severe on presentation and then progressively diminishes during the course of illness (which is typically 4 to 6 days but which may last as long as 3 weeks) ( Warin et al., 1953) • Question: Serum creatine kinase within normal range

  35. 3. TuberculosisPrinciples and Practice of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 2nd ed I. Bony tuberculosis • Osteomyelitis is otherwise most frequently found in the metaphysis of long bones, although theribs, pelvis and skull may be infected. • In children in countries in which TB is prevalent, osteomyelitis is a significant cause of crippling deformity. • Trauma does not predispose to tuberculous osteomyelitis

  36. 3. Tuberculosis Principles and Practice of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 2nd ed • Bony TB may be accompanied by sinus tracts or soft tissue masses. • Diagnosis: -May be difficult because lesions can appear osteolytic or sclerotic on radiography. -Biopsy : acid-fast bacilli (AFB) stains, culture or PCR

  37. 3. Tuberculosis Principles and Practice of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 2nd ed II. Tuberculous abscesses: • May form in most soft tissues, including muscle . • This is usually secondary to contiguous spread of infection but may follow hematogenous dissemination. • The classic abscess site is in the psoas muscle, and such an abscess can occur with or without localizing signs • Cough, diarrhea and vomiting can be happened, but rare and chronic when the pulmonary and gastointestinal were involved. • Question: Contact history? insidious enlarging mass? Chronic steroid usage? Body weight loss? Night weating?

  38. 4. Actinomycosis Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics, 17th • Actinomyces israelii , a slow-growing, gram-positive bacteria that are part of the normal oral flora in humans. • Infection caused by these bacteria is termed actinomycosis, which is a chronic, granulomatous, suppurative disease characterized by peripheral spread with extension to contiguous tissue in the formation of numerous draining sinus tracts. • 7% of the patients <10 yr of age. The youngest patient in this series was 28 days old.

  39. 4. Actinomycosis Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics, 17th • Actinomycosisis usually not an opportunistic infection, disease has been described in patients receiving corticosteroids and those with leukemia, renal failure, congenital immunodeficiency diseases, and HIV infection • three important sites of Actinomyces infection in order of frequency are cervicofacial, abdominal, and thoracic • Pulmonary actinomycosis may present as fever, productive cough, chest pain, and weight loss. • Infection frequently dissects along tissue planes and may extend through the chest wall or diaphragm, producing numerous sinuses.

  40. 4. Actinomycosis Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics, 17th • Diagnosis : confirmed by examining purulent sinus tract drainage for sulfur granules, and by appropriate cultures. • The differential diagnosis of pulmonary actinomycosis includes lung abscess and tuberculosis. • Tx: mainstay of treatment for actinomycosis is prolonged antibiotic therapy (Penicillin) and an appropriate surgical approach to sinus tracts and abscesses.

  41. 4. Actinomycosis Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics, 17th Question: Chronic process, underlying immunocompromise status; diarrhea? Vomiting?

  42. 5. Pneumonia- Pyogenic Empyema Necessitatis • Pyogenic Empyema Necessitatis: A rare complication of empyema; is a collection of inflammatory tissue that usually extends directly from the pleural cavity into the thoracic wall forming a mass in the extrapleural soft tissues. • The hallmark of empyema necessitatis is a mass • The most common etiologies are tuberculosis and actinomycosis.

  43. 5. Pneumonia- Pyogenic Empyema Necessitatis • 1-year-old boy with Streptococcus pneumoniaeempyemanecessitatis and review previously reported . Pediatr Infect Dis J - 01-FEB-2004; 23(2): 177-9 • Symptoms: as the underlying disease, fever, chest pain, chest wall mass,cough and short of breath may be occur. Pediatr Infect Dis J - 01-FEB-2004; 23(2): 177-9 • The mass might be painful and fluctuant.

  44. 5. Pneumonia- Pyogenic Empyema Necessitatis • Diagnosis: -Chest radiograph: Pleural effusion, with thickening of the pleura at the involved site, may be an enlargement of the overlying ribs with a thick, calcified pleural rind. -CT scan: may show a thick-walled, possibly well-encapsulated, pleural mass that protrudes through the chest wall.(Virtually diagnostic of empyema necessitatis)

  45. 5. Pneumonia- Pyogenic Empyema Necessitatis Questions: Rare chronic complication of pneumonia, decreased breath sounds, dull percussion on physical examination, vomiting, diarrhea?

  46. 6. Pyogenic abscess • Pyogenic abscesses involving Staphylococcus or Klebsiella infection of the chest wall may also occur and may be due to central line or catheter-related sepsis in immunocompromise. • Large multifocal lesions may develop . • Question: diarrhea, vomiting? Cough? No predisposing factor? Not multifocal mass?

  47. 7. Osteomyelitis: Rib or sternum Nelson 17ed P2297 • Most cmmon in young children, more common in boy than girl(2:1) • The majority of infection in otherwise healthy children are hematogeneous origin. • Long bone is principlly involved in osteomyelitis (2.9% in chest bones) • Blunt trauma, bacteremia, illness, malnutrition, immune system deficiency have been described as predisposing conditions.

  48. 7. Osteomyelitis • Etiology: S. aureus is the most frequently isolated pathogen excluding patients with hemoglobinopathies, such as SCD, where Salmonella sp. is more likely . • Primary viral infections of bone are exceedingly rare, but accompanied viral syndrome, suggesting immune-mediated pathogenesis. Nelson 17ed P2298 - Extremely rarely, the viruses which cause chickenpox and smallpox have been found to cause a viral osteomyelitis.

  49. 7. Osteomyelitis • Clinical features may including chills, fever,chest pain,tenderness,swelling and erythema over the involved bone. Scand J Infect Dis 1999 ;31: 98–100. • Insidious onset of nonspecific symptoms associated with gradual painful swelling over the bone area. • Pediatr Infect Dis J 2001; 20: 547–50

  50. 7. Osteomyelitis • Diagosis: -CBC: leukocytosis with left shift, and a thrombocytosis may be present.Pediatric Clinics of North America 43: 933-947, 1996 -ESR and CRP are the nonspecific sign of inflammation. -Culture taken from the bone, either surgically or by needle aspiation. -CT or Three phases bone scan • Question: More insidious process? Chickenpox? Smallpox?
