Can you differentiate between Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN)❓

A thread 🧵...

[Kristy Mallon @KMallonPNP]

Tylenol makes up over 5% of cases, making it one of the more common causes of TENS/SJS, despite it being a lesser known cause.

Multiple case reports demonstrate children being misdiagnosed with Chicken Pox post acetaminophen use later found to have TENS/SJS.🤒

Did you know that Tylenol is the 3rd most common cause for Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TENS) aka Stevens-Johnson Syndrome? 💊

@DaniSebbens @AimeeBucci Yes, this is the reason why we always offer weight based Tylenol prescriptions for children even in the ED setting even though it’s available over the counter!

Infection/peritonitis 🔜 systemic inflammation 🔜 fibrosis and cirrhosis of the liver🔜portal hypertension🔜 systemic vasodilation 🔜 hypovolemia 🔜 pre-renal kidney injury

How can we detect HRS early on to lead to a better prognosis?

Test your knowledge of HRS ✔️

What is the best initial treatment in the stabilization and management of HRS❓

Yet another complication of #COVID-19... 😷

Who would have thought COVID-19 would be a cause of #GuillianBarreSyndrome ?

Interesting article, related to #PediatricMedicine, right here!

Just because it's organic does not mean its good for your infant. Honey is increasingly being placed into organic products and can be deadly to babies. #Reasonstoconsultyourpediatrician before trying over the counter products.

Also remember your baby only needs the same amount of layers you are wearing plus maybe one more in colder environments as a basic rule of thumb!

Febrile Illness or Heat exhaustion?

Another element to add to your differential this summer are heat related illnesses...

[Kristy Mallon @KMallonPNP]

This makes the #backtosleep campaign especially important during those summer months. Infants should be placed in their cribs, on their back, and alone without the use of blankets and stuffed animals.
