Meningitis
Meningitis is a clinical syndrome characterized by inflammation of the meninges, the three layers of membranes that enclose the brain and spinal cord.
Anti-Infective Drugs (Antibiotics, Antivirals)
Measles (Rubeola)
Measles is marked by prodromal fever, cough, coryza, conjunctivitis, and pathognomonic enanthem (ie, Koplik spots), followed by an erythematous maculopapular rash on the third to the seventh day.
Otitis Media
Otitis media is the inflammation and infection of the middle ear, often resulting from viral or bacterial pathogens. Otitis media can lead to various symptoms, including ear pain, fever, hearing difficulties, and fluid buildup behind the eardrum.
Epiglottitis
Acute epiglottitis is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition that involves inflammation and swelling of the epiglottis, a small cartilage at the base of the tongue that covers the windpipe during swallowing to prevent food from entering the airway.
Respiratory Syncytial Virus
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes infections of the lungs and respiratory tract. Infection with respiratory syncytial virus which manifests primarily as bronchiolitis or viral pneumonia, is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in infants and young children.
Acute Nasopharyngitis
Acute nasopharyngitis is caused by any number of different viruses, usually rhinoviruses, respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, influenza virus, or parainfluenza virus.
Chicken Pox (Varicella)
Chickenpox is a highly contagious viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). It is characterized by a distinctive rash of itchy, fluid-filled blisters that cover the body.
Croup Syndrome
Croup is a common, primarily pediatric viral respiratory tract illness. The hallmark symptom of croup is a harsh, barking cough, often accompanied by stridor (a high-pitched, crowing sound) and respiratory distress.
Imperforate Anus
Imperforate anus is a congenital abnormality that occurs when the opening of the anus is either absent or improperly formed in newborns. This condition can range from a partial obstruction to a complete absence of the anal opening, leading to difficulties in passing stool.
Tonsillitis and Adenoiditis
Tonsillitis is the inflammation of the pharyngeal tonsils; the inflammation usually extends to the adenoid and the lingual tonsils.
