There are 2 algorithms - do you know what your lab uses?
📘Trad'l starts with nontrep test ➡️then uses trep test to confirm dx

Children born outside of the US are vulnerable to increased morbidity due to the lack of awareness of their migration journey and indications for screening/tx. @AliceCLehman outlined some of the definitions that are often used Image
3/
A key point from @AliceCLehman: refugee children are provided predeparture screening/treatment, which is coordinated with the International Office of Migration -- but immigrant/migrant children do not always undergo the same screens; may have variable predeparture environments Image

Liver abscess is estimated to occur in about 1/3 of patients with CGD. In the episode, we discussed how a liver abscess may have distinct characteristics in the setting of CGD

#IDTwitter #IDMedED #PedsID @ID_fellows

PLA = pyogenic liver abscess
2/
PLA in CGD:
📌septate mass surrounded by a thick pseudocapsule
📌Inside=dense inspissated fluid.
📌Can be homogenously enhancing on imaging while small, but then develop mult locules separated by thick enhancing septations with intense halo/rim of enhancement around abscess

1/ We didn’t cover all of this in Ep.4, but the case is a good reminder to think about the various imaging findings in liver infection

Knowing the defining features & ddx of liver abscess; hydatid cysts; and mult small nodules is very useful!

#IDTwitter #IDMedEd #MedTwitter

A lot of info for 1 page but a few 🗝️points:
🔸Pyogenic+amebic liver abscess can be indistinguishable on imaging
🔸Echinococcus: check out the WHO classification
🔸Ddx mul small solid nodular liver lesions has a wide ddx. For ID, includes TB/Bartonella/Disseminated fungal inf
3/
Here is a nice summary article tackling liver infection imaging + potential pitfalls:

pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/rg…

The authors had a flowchart to help think about ddx based on imaging ➡️their 1st branch point = dominant cystic lesion or multiple small solid nodular lesions?
