• Subacute (2-8 weeks from onset)– Desquamation, may have persistent arthritis
or arthralgias– Gradual improvement even without treatment
• Convalescent (Months to years later)- In this phase remaining symptoms resolve &
laboratory values normalize.

causes lupus in children• Genetics• Environmental exposures?• Medications:
– Minocycline (an antibiotic often used for acne in adolescents) is a well-known cause of positive ANA and lupus-like syndromes. Symptoms often resolve after discontinuation.
– Antiseizure medications, antihypertensive (blood-pressure), and several other medications can have similar effects, though are less commonly used in children and teens.

Treatment of lupus in children
• Generally similar to that of adults.corticosteroids (e.g. prednisone or SoluMedrol) to control symptoms–Mild lupus
• Often responds to hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil).
• May benefit from NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen, etc.) for musculoskeletal symptoms.
–Moderate lupus• azathioprine (Imuran) or mycophenolate (CellCept). These are often
used for hematologic or renal involvement of the disease.
–Severe lupus• cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) or sometimes rituximab (Rituxan), for
involvement of the central nervous system or for severe kidney or hematologic disease.

• Leukemia results from an event in a bone marrow precursor cell which gives rise to immature progeny that have lost the capacity to differentiate and proliferate in an uncontrolled manner
• Immature progeny (blasts) expand in marrow and impair normal hematopoiesis
LEUKEMIA
![Page 44: Prolong fever editted](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5466058db4af9fdf3f8b4e0e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Childhood Leukemia
• Leukemia is the most common form of cancer of childhood (30%)
• Peak incidence 2-5 years of age• males > females• Incidence of ALL (acute lymphoblastic
leukemia) is 5 times higher than incidence than AML (acute myeloid leukemia)
![Page 45: Prolong fever editted](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5466058db4af9fdf3f8b4e0e/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Causes of acute leukemias
• idiopathic (most)
• chemicals, drugs
• ionizing radiation
• viruses (HTLV I)
• hereditary/genetic conditions
![Page 46: Prolong fever editted](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5466058db4af9fdf3f8b4e0e/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Classification of leukemias
Acute Chronic
Myeloid origin
Lymphoid origin
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)

![Page 47: Prolong fever editted](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5466058db4af9fdf3f8b4e0e/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Common Presenting Signs and Symptoms
• Expanding blast population in bone marrow causes bone and joint pain
• Pallor and fatigue due to anemia• Bruising, petechiae and bleeding due to
thrombocytopenia• Fever due to infection and cytokines from leukemia • Adenopathy, hepatomegaly and splenomegaly due
to blasts migrating out of marrow
![Page 48: Prolong fever editted](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5466058db4af9fdf3f8b4e0e/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Clincal manifestations
• symptoms due to:– marrow failure– tissue infiltration– leukostasis– constitutional symptoms– other (DIC)
• usually short duration of symptoms
![Page 49: Prolong fever editted](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5466058db4af9fdf3f8b4e0e/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Marrow failure
• neutropenia: infections, sepsis
• anemia: fatigue, pallor
• thrombocytopenia: bleeding

• weight loss less common
![Page 52: Prolong fever editted](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5466058db4af9fdf3f8b4e0e/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Laboratory features
• WBC usually elevated, but can be normal or low
• demonstrate anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukocytosis or leukopenia with circulating blasts
• normocytic anemia
• DIC
![Page 53: Prolong fever editted](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5466058db4af9fdf3f8b4e0e/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Distinguishing AML from ALL
• light microscopy– AML: Auer rods, cytoplasmic granules– ALL: no Auer rods or granules.
• flow cytometry
• special stains (cytochemistry)
![Page 54: Prolong fever editted](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5466058db4af9fdf3f8b4e0e/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
TREATMENT
Choice of Rx is influenced by:
• type (AML vs ALL)• age
Treatment of leukemias – – There are 2 goals:
• Eradicate the leukemic cell mass• Give supportive care
![Page 55: Prolong fever editted](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5466058db4af9fdf3f8b4e0e/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
There are four general types of therapy• Chemotherapy – usually a combination of drugs is
used• Bone marrow transplant• Radiotherapy• Immunotherapy – stimulate the patients own
immune system to mount a response against the malignant cells
• Monoclonal antibodies – examples include Rituxin

(DLBCL)- frequent Mediastinal involvement- More like Hodgkin lymphoma than other
NHLs- “Peripheral T-cell” lymphoma- Often involves skin, CNS, lymph
nodes, lung, testes, muscles, and GI tract

Burkitt Facts• 100 new cases/year in US, 2-3:1
male:female; mean age 11 years (in non-endemic form)
• small, noncleaved cell; mature B phenotype; intraabdominal (sporadic) or jaw (endemic) most common primary site
• Extremely rapidly-growing; tumor lysis issues

Clinical Presentations Abdomen: (35%): pain, distention,
jaundice, GI problems, mass Head/neck (13%): lymphadenopathy,
jaw swelling, single enlarged tonsil, nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, cranial nerve palsies
Mediastinum (26%): SVC syndrome CNS (rare): HA, V, irritability,
papilledema+Fever, malaise, night sweats, wt. loss,

Hodgkin’s Disease
Immune system malignancy, involving B or T lymphocytes
Reed-Sternberg cells Spread: slow, predictable, with
extension to contiguous lymph nodes
Infiltration to non-lymphoid organs is rare

Types of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Nodular sclerosing (NS), 40-60%, lower cervical, supraclavicular, mediastinal nodes
Mixed cellularity (MC), 15-30%; advanced disease with extranodal involvement
Lymphocyte predominance (LP), 5-15%, presents as localized disease
Lymphocyte depletion (LD) (<5%); widespread disease

Clinical Presentation
Painless lymph node swelling (90%) that persists despite antibiotic therapy
Palpable non-tender, firm, mobile, rubbery nodes; Mediastinal adenopathy (60%); SVC
Bulky: when mass is > 1/3 thorax diameter
symptoms: Fever of >38C for 3 days, drenching night sweats, 10% weight loss
