Measles Koplik Spots
Measles (Rubeola) 8-12d 24h • Exposure Fever, malaise Coryza, cough, conjunctivits Koplik spots Exanthum • Exanthem: red/ purple papules appear at hairline, then spread downward (@ toes by day 3) • Coalescence common on face and upper body • Fades in same fashion (headtoe) 48h 2-3d
Measles (Rubeola) • Control Measures • Isolation (airborne precautions) • Immunization/ Immune globulin • First determine who is susceptible • <2 doses of MMR vaccine after the first birthday • Low titers in response to vaccine administration • No documentation of measles by a physician • If susceptible: • MMR vaccine within 72hours of exposure • Immune globulin to household contacts or immunocompromised patients within 6 days of exposure if vaccine not given within 72h

Congential Rubella Highest rate of infection 1st and 3rd trimesters, morbidity associated with 1st trimester infection Presentation: TTP Blueberry muffin lesions Radiolucencies in metaphyseal long bones PDA (or ASD/VSD) Sensorineural deafness Cataracts/ glaucoma HSM
Parvovirus B19 (Fifth’s Disease) “Slapped cheek” appearance
Parvovirus B19 (aka: Fifth disease, ErythemaInfectiosum) • Seen most often in children 4-15 in winter and spring • Exposure HA, coryza, low-grade fever, malaise “slapped cheek appearance” erythematous, maculopapular rash on trunk and ext central clearing with lacy/ reticular appearance periodic increases in rash intensity (x1-3 wks) 4-15 d 7 d 1-4 d end
Parvovirus B19 (aka: Fifth disease, ErythemaInfectiosum) • Aplastic crisis in children with hemolytic anemias • Chronic infection in immunocompromised patients • Fetal infection • Hydropsfetalis, fetal death, miscarriage • Highest risk during second trimester
Varicella (Chicken Pox) Vesicular lesions in different stages of healing
Varicella 10-21d 24-48h • Exposure low-grade fever, malaise, HA vesicular exanthem crusting • Exanthem: “dew drops on a rose petal,” occurs most commonly on trunk and extremities • Contagious 1-2 days before rash appears and until all the lesions are crusted over 3-5 d
Varicella Immune Globulin • Consider immune globulin (within 96h) for exposed susceptible children at risk for severe dz: • Immunocompromised children • Pregnant women • Newborns whose mothers had varicella<5 days before delivery or <48h after • Hospitalized premature infants >/= 28 weeks born to a varicellaAb-negative mother • Hospitalized premature infants </= 28 weeksor <1000g
EBV (Mono) Clue: This patient was recently treated with Ampicillin
HHV 6 (Roseola) Clue: This patient had a h/o 3 days of fever (that has since defervesced) before the appearance of the rash
HHV 6 (Roseola) • Non-specific rubelliform eruption • Central distribution (trunk, face, proximal extremities) • Follows 3-5 days of spiking fevers in a young child • Child looks well
Scarlet Fever (Group A Strep) Sandpaper rash Strawberry Tongue
Scarlet Fever (Group A Strep) • Acute streptococcal pharyngitis with fine, diffuse red rash • “Sandpaper rash” • Usually appears 24-48h after illness begins, but can be the presenting symptom • Begins on neck and upper chest and spreads • Lasts ~1wk, fades with subsequent desquamation of trunk, hands and feet
Toxic Shock Syndrome Clue: You might be more suspicious of this illness if this picture was a hypotensive woman
S.Aureus- Cutaneous Manifestations • Impetigo • Abscess • Staph scalded skin • Caused by exfoliating toxin • Fever common, +/- bacteremia • +Nikolsky sign • Toxic Shock Syndrome • Hypotension, fever, diarrhea, hypocalcemiaScarlatiniformerythroderma (within 24 h of fever), hyperemia of MM and conjuntivae • Can also be caused by Group A Strep (pyogenes)- post-op and with chicken pox
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome • Major causes: • Drugs: Abx (BACTRIM!!), anticonvulsants, NSAIDS • Infectious: Herpes virus, Mycoplasma • Prodrome of fever and malaise erythematous or purpuricmacules or plaques sloughing • Mucous membrane involvement: • ErythemaMultiforme (0) SJS (<10%) TEN (>30%)
Kawasaki Disease Red, cracked lips; conjuntivitis Bright red diaper area with desquamation Red palms
Kawasaki Disease • Clinical criteria: • Fever lasting >/= 5days plus 4 of the following: • Bilateral bulbar conjunctival injection • Oral mucous membrane changes • Peripheral extremity changes • Polymorphous rash (greatly variable) • Cervial LAD (with at least 1 LN> 1.5cm in diameter)
Meningococcemia ~Caused by Neisseriameningitidis ~Usually seen in patients < 2yo ~Penicillin G is treatment of choice (once Neisseria is confirmed) ~Hearing loss is a common complication of meningococcal meningitis
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever • Caused by the Gm- coccobacillusRickettsiarickettsii, which is transmitted by tick bite • Usually seen in Southeastern US • Clinical course • Abrupt onset of fever, HA, myalgias • After 2-5 days, exanthem appears • Maculopapular • Distribution involves flexural areas of wrists and ankles then spreads toward the center • Becomes petechial within 1-3 days, then confluent and hemorrhagic with areas of necrosis
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever • Have a low threshold to treat • Doxycycline for all ages
A 6-day-old infant is brought to the emergency department in August with a 1-day history of decreased feeding, decreased activity, tactile fever, and rapid breathing. He was born at term by normal spontaneous vaginal delivery and weighed 3,742 g. His mother reports that she had a nonspecific febrile illness 1 week before delivery for which she received no treatment. Her group B Streptococcus screen was positive at 36 weeks' gestation, and she received two doses of ampicillin (>4 hours apart) during labor. The baby received no antibiotics and was discharged at 48 hours of age. Physical examination today reveals a toxic, lethargic infant who is grunting and has a temperature of 39.4°C, heart rate of 180 beats/min, and respiratory rate of 60 breaths/min. His lungs are clear, with subcostal retractions. He has a regular heart rhythm with gallop, his pulses are thready, his capillary refill is 4 seconds, and his extremities are cool. Of the following, the MOST likely cause of this baby's illness is: A. early-onset group B Streptococcus infection B. echovirus 11 infection C. herpes simplex virus infection D. hypoplastic left heart syndrome E. respiratory syncytial virus infection
A 13-year-old girl presents with a 2-day history of fever, sore throat, and a rash that began on her arms and legs and spread to her chest and back. Physical examination reveals pharyngeal exudate; bilateral cervical adenopathy; and a "sandpapery" rash over her arms (Item Q157), legs, and trunk. A rapid diagnostic test for group A Streptococcus yields negative results. At 48 hours, a throat culture is growing small colonies with narrow bands of hemolysis on sheep blood agar.Of the following, the MOST appropriate antibiotic for treating this patient is • A. ceftazidime • B. erythromycin • C. penicillin • D. tetracycline • E. trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole
