    Study Notes

    Hirschsprung Disease

    • A congenital condition characterized by the absence of ganglion cells in the intestines.
    • Often involves the rectum, causing a lack of intestinal motility.
    • Results in difficulty passing stool.
    • Diagnosis often involves rectal biopsy.
    • Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the affected portion of the intestine.

    Intussusception

    • A telescoping of one part of the intestine into another.
    • Often presents with intermittent abdominal pain.
    • Can lead to a significant blood supply blockage to the affected intestines.
    • Diagnosis typically involves imaging techniques such as abdominal ultrasound.
    • Treatment often involves pneumatic or saline enemas.

    Cystic Fibrosis

    • A genetic disorder affecting the exocrine glands.
    • Characterized by thick, viscous secretions.
    • Results in impaired digestion and absorption of nutrients.
    • This leads to lung problems and pancreatic impairment.
    • Diagnosed by sweat chloride test, chest X-ray, pulmonary function tests, and stool analysis.
    • Treatment involves respiratory support, nutritional support, and medication.

    Kawasaki Disease

    • An acute systemic vasculitis.
    • Predominantly affects children under five.
    • Characterized by fever, rash, and inflammation of blood vessels.
    • Can potentially lead to heart complications.
    • Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation and preventing complications.

    Epiglottitis

    • An inflammation of the tissues above the vocal cords.
    • Often caused by bacterial infection (typically HIB).
    • A very serious and potentially life-threatening condition.
