Physical Exam
• growth parameters
• screening examination (paediatric gait, arms, legs, spine exam)
• joint exam: inspection/palpation (swelling, erythema, warmth, tenderness,deformity), ROM
• adjacent structures (bone, tendon, muscle,skin)
• leg length
• neurologic exam
Investigations
• basic:CBC and differential, blood smear, ESR,CRP, x-ray
• as indicated:blood (ANA,RF,culture, viral/bacterialserology, CK, PTT,sickle cell screen,
immunoglobulins, complement), urinalysis,synovial fluid (cell count,Gram stain, culture),TB skin

<8>
Red Flags for Limb Pain
• Fever
• Pinpoint pain/tendemess
• Pain out of proportion todegree of
inflammation
• Night pain
• Weight loss
• Erythema
• Unexplained fractures
Lyme Arthritis
• see Infectious Diseases.1D22
• caused by spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi
• incidence highest among 5-10 yr
• do not treat children <8 yr with doxycydine (may cause permanent tooth discolouration)
Reactive Arthritis
• see Rheumatology, RH 27
• arthritis(typically the knee) follows bacterial infection, especially with Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia,
Campylobacter, Chlamydia, and most commonly Streptococcus (post-streptococcal reactive arthritis)
• typically resolves spontaneously
• may progress to chronic illness or Reiter’ssyndrome (urethritis, conjunctivitis)
Septic Arthritis and Osteomyelitis
• MEDICAL EMERGENCY: prompt intravenous antibiotics, followed by 4 wk of oral antibiotics or 4 -6
wk of oral antibiotics if the hip is involved
• see Orthopaedic Surgery,ORI 1

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
• see Rheumatology, RH 11
• autoimmune illness affecting multiple organ systems
• incidence 1 in 1000, more commonly age >10, F:M=10:1
• childhood-onset SLE vs. adult-onset SLE:children have more active disease,are more likely to have
renal disease, and receive more intensive drug therapy and have a poorer prognosis compared to
adults
Transient Synovitis of the Hip
•benign,self-limited inflammatory joint disorder, usually occurs alter URT1, pharyngitis, ADM
•key is to differentiate from septic arthritis
Epidemiology
•3-10 yr, M>F,more common on right side

P98 Paediatrics Toronto Notes 2023
Clinical Features
• afebrile orlow-grade fever; pain typically occursin hips or knees(referred from hip)suddenly; painful
limp but full ROM (pain not as pronounced asin joint or bone infections); child does not look “toxic"
pain is not disabling and gradually worsens overfew days, can have sudden onset ofsymptoms
• symptomsself-resolve over 7-10 d
Investigations
• WBC within normal limits; HSR and CRP may be mildly elevated
• joint effusions maybe seen on ultrasound
aspirate joint and examine synovial fluid ifsuspiciousforseptic arthritis
MR1 if suspicious for osteomyelitis or periarticular pyomyositis
• diagnosis of exclusion
Management
• goal isto manage symptoms(anti-inflammatory medications and bedrest)
usually resolves within 24-48 h
Complications
• Legg-Calve-Perthes disease
Vasculitides
HENOCH-SCHONLEIN PURPURA
• most common childhood vasculitis, peak incidence 4-10 yr, M:H=2:1
• vasculitis of small vessels
• often have history of URT11-3 wk before onset ofsymptoms
Clinical Features
• clinical triad:1) palpable purpura, 2) abdominal pain, 3) arthritis
• skin: palpable, non-thrombocytopenic purpura in lower extremities and buttocks, edema,scrotal
swelling
• joints:arthritis/arthralgia involving large joints associated with painful edema
• GI:abdominal pain,G1bleeding, intussusception
• renal:microscopic hematuria, IgA nephropathy, proteinuria, HTN,renal failure in <5%
Investigations
• no routine investigations performed - diagnosis is mainly based on clinical features
• urinalysis (blood, protein creatinine ratio),serum (urea/electrolytes, creatinine, albumin, elevated
IgA)
• skin/renal biopsy -IgA deposition
• ultrasound -intussusception/perforation, testicular pain/swelling
• rule out other autoimmune conditions/vasculitides
Management
• mainly supportive (e.g. elevation for edema)
• anti-inflammatory medications for joint pain,corticosteroidsfor select patients
• monitor for protein on urinalysis and hypertension every month for 6 mo to check for renal disease,
which may develop late (immunosuppressive therapy ifsevere)
Prognosis
• self-limited, resolves within 4 wk
• recurrence in about one-third of patients
• long-term prognosis dependent on severity of nephritis
KAWASAKI DISEASE
• acute vasculitis of unknown etiology (likely triggered by infection)
• medium-sized vasculitis with predilection for coronary arteries
• most common cause of acquired heart disease in children in developed countries
• peak age: 3 mo-5 yr;Asian people>Black peoploWhite people
Diagnostic Criteria
• fever persisting >5 d AND £4 of the following features
1. bilateral, non-exudative conjunctival injection
2. oral mucous membrane changes (fissured lips,strawberry tongue, injected pharynx)
3. changes of the peripheral extremities
acute phase: extremity changes including edema of hands and feet or erythema of palms or
soles
subacute phase: periungual desquamation

polymorphous rash
5. cervical lymphadenopathy >1.5 cm in diameter (usually unilateral)
•exclusion of other diseases (e.g.scarlet fever, measles)
•incomplete Kawasaki disease:fever persisting >5 d and 2-3 of the above criteria
further evaluation dictated by CRP, ESR, and supplemental laboratory criteria
Management
•initial therapy:lVlg (2 g/kg) and low dose of ASA (3-5 mg/kg/d, max 325mg/d)
•lVlg within 10 d of fever onset reduces risk of coronary aneurysm formation
•if fever persists 24-36 h after lVlg, repeat lVlg treatment at the same dose; ifsecond dose fails, trial a
third lVlg treatment, IV pulse methylprednisolone or consult rheumatology for next steps
•baseline 2D-echo and follow-up periodic 2D-echo (usually at 2 and 6 wk)
Complications
•coronary artery vasculitis with aneurysm formation occurs in 20-25% of untreated children, <5% if
receive lVlg within 10 d of fever
•50% of aneurysms regress within 2 yr
•anticoagulation for multiple or large coronary aneurysms

Landmark Paediatric Trials
Trial Name Reference Clinical Trial Details
NUTRITION
NEJM 201S;372(9):803-813 Purpose: To assess the impact of peanut avoidance andconsumption on the development of a peanut allergy ininfants at high risk for the
allergy.
Methods:RCT consisting of 640 infants aged between 4 and 11 mo with severe eczema,egg allergy,or both.Infants were randomized to
consume or avoid peanuts until the age of 60 mo. The primary outcome was the proportion of infants that developed a peanut allergy.
Results: The infants randomized to consume peanuts resultedin a smaller proportion of children developing peanut allergies (1.9%) when
compared to the group that avoided peanut consumption (13.7%).Increased levels ol peanut- specific lgG4 antibody was prevalent in the
consumption group.Raised litres of peanut-specific IgE antibodies were prevalent in theavoidance group.
Conclusion:Prevalence ol peanut allergy at 60 months of age was significantly reduced in the consumption group.
LEAP
DIABETES
10DAY NEJM 2012;366|24):2247 Purpose:1o assess the efficacy of different treatment regimens in attaining glycemic control in youth with type 2 diabetes.
Methods:RCT consisting of 699 patients between the ages of 10 and17 yr with recent onsetI2DM.Patients were assigned to continue
metformin alone,or inconjunction with tosiglilazone,or a lifestyle modification focused on weight loss.Ihe outcome of interest was loss of
glycemic control indicated by glycated hemoglobin levelol >8% for at least 6 mo.
Results:Metformin alone resulted in a 61.7% failure rale, metforminnosiglitazonc resulted in a failure rate ol 38.6%. and
melfotmuHifoslylc intervention resulted in a failurerate of 46.6%.
Conclusion: Metformin plus rosiglitarone was significantly belter than metformin alone in achieving glycemic control within youth.
Metformin plus lifestyle intervention did not have a signilicant impact on glycemic control when compared to metformin alone
ELLIPSE NEJM 2019:381|7):637 Purpose: To assess Ihe efficacy ol liraglutlde in combination with metlormin as a treatment for type 2 diabetes inyouth.
Methods: RCT consisting ol 134 patients between the ages ol 10 and17 yr with a BMI greater than Ihe 86th percentile and a glycated
hemoglobin levelbetween 6.5 and 11%.Patients wererandomized to receivemetformin alone or metlorminincombination with
liraglutide.The outcomeol Interest was the change In glycatedhemoglobin level alter 26 wk ol treatment.
Results: Alter 26 wk.treatment with metlormin alone resultedin a 0.42% inciease in glycated hemoglobin levels and treatment with
metlormin and liraglutide in combination resultedin a 0.64% decrease in glycated hemoglobin levels. Youth taking liraglutide reported
Increased overalladverse events and gastrointestinal adverseevents.
Conclusion: Metlormin
-liraglutide combination therapy demonstrated increased elticacy in maintaining glycemic control compared to
metlormin monotherapy.
RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS
MELODY N Engl J Med.2022;386|9):837 Title: Nirsevimab lor Prevention of RSV inHealthy Late-Preterm and Term Infants.
Purpose: To study the efficacy and safety ol Nirsevimab,amonoclonal antibody against RSV.inlate preterm and full-term babies.
Methods:RCT consisting of 1490 Infants born at gestational age of 35 wk were randomized in a 2:1ratio to receive nirsevimab or a
placebo, respectively.The outcome of interest is the presence of RSV infection within150 d of treatment dosage.
Results:RSV Inlections occurred within 1.2% of intanls in the nirsevimab group and 5% olpatients In the placebo group.
Conclusion: Use ol nirsevimab results in effective protection ol preterm and full-term infants from RSV infection.
ASTHMA
N Engl J Med 2022: 386:2071- Titlc:Albuterol-Budesonide Fixed-Dose Combination Rescue Inhaler for Asthma
Purpose: To assess the efficacy ol budesomde (corticosteroid) in combination with albuterol (bronchodilator) as a rescue medicine lor
asthmatic patients.
Methods:RCT consisting of 3132 patients aged 4 11yr with uncontrolled moderate to severe asthma.Patients were randomized to receive
inhaled albuterol (180 pg) and budesonide|160 pg),albuterol (180 pg) and budesonide (80 pg). or 180 pg olalbuterol alone for 24 wk of
rescue treatment. The outcome of interest was the presence of a severe asthma exacerbation.
Results:In the higher dose combination-treated group the risk of severe exacerbation was lowered by 26% when compared to the albuterol
monotherapy.
Conclusion:Use of albuterol in combination with budesonide as a rescue therapy reduces the risk of severe asthma exacerbation compared
to albuterol monotherapy.

Palliative Care Assessment
• comprehensive and includes physical, psychosocial, and spiritual domains of care
• complete medical history -includes determining the patient’s knowledge of their illness and their
goals of care
• physical symptom assessment- patient'
s opinion of severity is the gold standard, and may be
measured using assessment toolssuch asthe Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS)
• functional status assessment
- ability to perform ADLs, measured using toolssuch as the Palliative
Performance Scale (PPS)
• psychosocialsymptom assessment- anxiety,depression,family/caregiver distress, and cultural/
financial status
• spiritual assessment-religious beliefs, values, coping mechanisms, and distress
• medication review -limit polypharmacy
Pain and Symptom Management
Assessment Tools
• Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS):a tool used to screen for common symptoms
seen in palliative care. Patients/caregivers are asked to rate the intensity of symptoms front 0 to 10
on a numeric rating scale where 0 representsthe absence of the symptom and 10 represents the worst
severity of the symptom. Assesses:pain, tiredness, nausea, depression, anxiety,drowsiness, appetite,
well-being,shortness of breath, and “other problems"
associated with specific conditionssuch as
pruritusin liver disease and cough in lung disease, lhe ESAS provides a measure ofsymptom burden
and allows for tracking the efficacy'of interventions over time
