In small infants under 6 months of age, tetany is a decreasing trend in the incidence of the disease, but in pediatric outpatient or emergency can encounter from time to time. Once your baby suddenly ventilation, parents anxious mood; at the same time have to calm down, for emergency treatment at the same time, pay attention to the observation and analysis, to provide reliable and leads to the doctor.
So baby echo of tetany which differentiate diseases?
Should first exhaust heat and no phase differential: such as a birth injury, congenital malformations of the brain development and jaundice, congenital hydrocephalus. Such ventilation caused by recurrent attacks may occur in all age groups and accompanied by mental retardation, consciousness and motor dysfunction. Should also be identified is epilepsy, seizures occur in school-age children. Infantile spasms are a type of epilepsy, in the pathogenesis of within 2 years, when the exhaust fan looks completely different with the baby of tetany, surrounded by special attack is nodding her head and upper limb forward attitude, more performance accompanied by mental retardation, or cerebral palsy.
Second, if ventilation accompanied by high fever, because it is a small baby it should differentiate the following diseases:
1, hyperpyrexia convulsion: is the most common cause of infant cause convulsions in the period, at the age of 6 months to 3. Ventilation often occurs when sudden high fever of 39-40 degrees, generally rarely attack more than 2. This convulsion due to acute infection, especially viral upper respiratory tract infection, which often have corresponding symptoms exist.
2, central nervous system infections caused by convulsion: found in purulent meningitis, encephalitis, and so on. General histories of the many days of high fever, and accompanied by irritability, sleepiness, vomiting, Rave, or even coma, severe symptoms.
3 convulsions, other acute severe infection: if poisoning such as severe diarrhea, sepsis and pneumonia. Ventilation at this time unless there are factors of high fever, toxic encephalopathy, cerebral blood circulation disorders caused by brain cell hypoxia, edema is also causing ventilation reasons. It is obvious that the exhaust has a primary disease-related symptoms.
As a parent, when the case of ventilation in infants, need to know is likely to be the baby of tetany, and understand the corresponding identification of disease also is enough. Clear diagnosis and further treatment is of course the doctor.
