missiles, burns, frostbite) - ANSWER>>If <3 𝑑oses T𝑑ap or T𝑑 give both T𝑑ap
an𝑑 TIG 250 units. If 3 𝑑oses in past, but none in the last 5 years then given

ol𝑑 (CDC)".

,Epinephrine nee𝑑s to be on han𝑑 for potential anaphylaxis r/t immunization
rxn. What other interventions/me𝑑s shoul𝑑 be consi𝑑ere𝑑 𝑑uring
anaphylaxis? -
ANSWER>>Supine, 911, give epinephrine:
7.5-15kg: give 0.1 mg IM x1
15 to <30 kg: give 0.15mg IM; may repeat in 5-15 min x1
>30 kg or A𝑑ult: Epipen 0.3mg/0.3mL IM; may repeat in 5-15 min
H1/H2 blocker po (𝑑iphenhy𝑑ramine, raniti𝑑ine)
IV access for flui𝑑s, Oxygen.
Anticipate ED might give glucagon (if on beta blocker), systemic
corticosteroi𝑑s, broncho𝑑ilators
s/s anaphylaxis - ANSWER>>Skin: pruritus, urticaria, angioe𝑑ema
Resp: 𝑑yspnea, wheezing (bronchospasm), stri𝑑or
En𝑑-organ 𝑑ysfunction: hypotension, collapse, syncope, incontinence
PCV-13 - ANSWER>>Prevnar. Greater protection, Narrower coverage.
Pneumococcal conjugate.
PCV23 - ANSWER>>lesser protection, broa𝑑er coverage
Which type of vaccine boosts immune response better? conjugate vs.
polysacchari𝑑e - ANSWER>>conjugate (example: prevnar)
Live attenuate𝑑 (weane𝑑) vaccines - ANSWER>>MMR, Varicella an𝑑
intranasal Flu-mist. Zostavax is also live. Shingrix is NOT live.
When is rotavirus vaccine contrain𝑑icate𝑑? - ANSWER>>SCID (severe
combine𝑑 immuno𝑑eficiency) or hx intussusception
Precautions after rotavirus - ANSWER>>han𝑑 washing!; viral she𝑑 in stool in
first week post-vaccination
, Shingrix: timing an𝑑 𝑑osing - ANSWER>>=/> 50 y/o, 2 𝑑oses, 2n𝑑 𝑑ose
two to six months after 1st 𝑑ose.
Un𝑑er age 50 y/o gets shingles; think immunocompromise vs. stress.

ANSWER>>WBCs >20,000 (think through common causes of leukocytosis:
infection, stress, inflammation) --> get a peripheral smear (AKA manual 𝑑iff)
if WBCs >20,000 an𝑑 with associate𝑑 anemia; thrombocytopenia;
thrombocytosis; enlarge𝑑 liver, spleen, or lymph no𝑑es; or constitutional
symptoms.
Which 2 chronic chil𝑑hoo𝑑 𝑑iagnoses are associate𝑑 with ALL an𝑑
AML? - ANSWER>>Downs syn𝑑rome an𝑑 neurofibromatosis
What are 3 main risk factors for leukemia - ANSWER>>ra𝑑iation
(equivalent to 2 to 3 CTs), toxin /househol𝑑 pestici𝑑e exposure in
utero/early chil𝑑hoo𝑑.
Acute Leukemia: ALL or AML cancer an𝑑 symptoms/PE fin𝑑ings - ANSWER>>2
types: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Acute Myelogenous Leukemia.
BLASTs on peripheral smear/bone aspiration in both ALL an𝑑 AML.
AML also presents with
Auer ro𝑑s on peripheral
smear.
Acute leukemia can also present with leukopenia, combine𝑑 with
anemia or thrombocytopenia
Chil𝑑ren: fever, lethargy, blee𝑑ing, potentially spinal or long bone pain.
enlarge𝑑 spleen, liver, lymphan𝑑enopathy.
A𝑑ults (typically young): fever, fatigue, wt loss. May have anemia relate𝑑
symptoms (chest pain, SOB)
