Clinical algorithm for malaria during low and high transmission seasons. (1/34)
OBJECTIVES: To assess the proportion of children with febrile disease who suffer from malaria and to identify clinical signs and symptoms that predict malaria during low and high transmission seasons. STUDY DESIGN: 2490 children aged 2 to 59 months presenting to a health centre in rural Ethiopia with fever had their history documented and the following investigations: clinical examination, diagnosis, haemoglobin measurement, and a blood smear for malaria parasites. Clinical findings were related to the presence of malaria parasitaemia. RESULTS: Malaria contributed to 5.9% of all febrile cases from January to April and to 30.3% during the rest of the year. Prediction of malaria was improved by simple combinations of a few signs and symptoms. Fever with a history of previous malarial attack or absence of cough or a finding of pallor gave a sensitivity of 83% in the high risk season and 75% in the low risk season, with corresponding specificities of 51% and 60%; fever with a previous malaria attack or pallor or splenomegaly had sensitivities of 80% and 69% and specificities of 65% and 81% in high and low risk settings, respectively. CONCLUSION: Better clinical definitions are possible for low malaria settings when microscopic examination cannot be done. Health workers should be trained to detect pallor and splenomegaly because these two signs improve the specificity for malaria. (+info)Clinical pallor is useful to detect severe anemia in populations where anemia is prevalent and severe. (2/34)
Clinical pallor is recommended as a simple way to detect severe anemia, but more data are needed on its accuracy and usefulness when assessed by nonphysicians in diverse settings. We measured hemoglobin and trained non-physician health workers to assess clinical pallor of the conjunctiva, palm and nail beds in five population samples in Nepal and Zanzibar, where severe anemia is common. In total, 5,760 individuals were examined, 3,072 of whom were anemic and 192 of whom had severe anemia (hemoglobin <70 g/L). The prevalence of pallor did not correspond to the prevalence of anemia or severe anemia in the groups studied. However, in all studies, pallor at each anatomical site was associated with a significantly lower hemoglobin concentration. The relative performance of different anatomical sites was not consistent among studies, and we recommend that multiple sites be assessed. Pallor at any of the three sites detected severe anemia with >84% specificity. However, the sensitivity varied from 81% in Nepalese postpartum women to 29% in Zanzibari preschoolers in 1996. Overall estimates for sensitivity and specificity were 50 and 92%, respectively. Although imperfect, use of pallor to screen and treat severe anemia by primary care providers is feasible and worthwhile where severe anemia is common. Usually, the majority of persons with severe anemia will be detected at practically no cost. Many people who are not severely anemic will also receive treatment, but the costs of this error are low compared to the benefits. (+info)Field trial of a haemoglobin colour scale: an effective tool to detect anaemia in preschool children. (3/34)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of the Haemoglobin Colour Scale, developed by Stott and Lewis, to diagnose anaemia in a primary health care setting where anaemia was prevalent and severe. Three measures of anaemia were compared in 535 preschool children: haemoglobin based on the Haemoglobin Colour Scale, clinical assessment in three sites (conjunctiva, palm and nail bed) and haemoglobin based on a digital haemoglobinometer (HemoCue method) taken as gold standard. A statistically significant correlation (r = 0.80, coefficient = 0.77 and Y intercept = 2.33) was obtained between the results of the Haemoglobin Colour Scale and the HemoCue. In more than 80% of cases, the difference between the colour scale readings and the results of the HemoCue was within 1 g/dl. Of 415 anaemic children (Hb < 11 g/dl by HemoCue), 85.2% were so identified by the Haemoglobin Colour Scale and 19.7% were classified anaemic by clinical pallor. Of 19 severely anaemic children (Hb < 7 g/dl by HemoCue), 73.6% were identified as severely anaemic and 100% were classified as anaemic by the colour scale, 61.1% were classified as anaemic using clinical pallor. We found the Haemoglobin Colour Scale to be a useful tool in identifying anaemic and severely anaemic children. Efficiencies in term of cost, accuracy and time make it an important resource in primary health care settings in developing countries. Further testing with other staff in other settings is recommended to determine the usefulness of large-scale distribution. (+info)Palmar pallor as an indicator for anthelminthic treatment among ill children aged 2-4 years--Western Kenya, 1998. (4/34)
Infections with the soil-transmitted intestinal helminths (i.e., Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and hookworm), estimated to affect approximately 1 billion persons, are among the most common and widespread human infections. Among children aged <5 years, intestinal helminth infections cause malnutrition and anemia, two important causes of mortality. Anthelminthic treatment (deworming) improves nutritional status of school-aged children. The World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) have developed guidelines that include interventions for anemia and malnutrition in the integrated management of childhood illness (IMCI) for children aged <5 years seen at first-level health-care facilities in developing countries. Under the IMCI guidelines, in geographic areas where hookworm or Trichuris infections are endemic, children aged 2-4 years with palmar pallor are treated with an anthelminthic drug. This report summarizes an investigation of the use of palmar pallor as an indication for anthelminthic treatment among ill children aged 2-4 years seen at first-level health-care facilities in rural western Kenya; the investigation found that palmar pallor was associated with anemia but not with intestinal helminth infection. (+info)The influence of experience and specialisation on the reliability of a common clinical sign. (5/34)
OBJECTIVES: To explore the influence of experience and specialisation on clinical judgement by comparing accuracy in diagnosing anaemia between a consultant general surgeon, a consultant ophthalmologist and their registrars. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Conjunctival inspection of 101 patients, subsequent correlation with haemoglobin concentration. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Number of correct and incorrect diagnoses of anaemia. RESULTS: 54 patients were anaemic and 47 were not. Overall accuracy in diagnosing anaemia ranged from 0.61-0.69, sensitivity 0.52-0.65 and specificity 0.62-0.83. Agreements between pairs of examiners were 0.68-0.81, with kappa values of 0.36-0.60 when adjusted for chance agreement. CONCLUSIONS: Neither experience nor specialisation significantly influenced our ability to diagnose anaemia, based on conjunctival inspection. Without critical analysis of clinical signs, we are unaware of their diagnostic limitations. (+info)Evaluation of clinical pallor in the identification and treatment of children with moderate and severe anaemia. (6/34)
BACKGROUND: Anaemia from malaria is a common problem in developing countries. Blood transfusion in developing countries is available in few hospitals. Children who are severely anaemic and may require urgent blood transfusion usually present to peripheral first-level health facilities from where they must be referred to hospitals. Since most peripheral facilities do not determine haemoglobin levels, the decision on referral has to be made on clinical grounds. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of clinical pallor of the palms, nailbeds, conjunctivae, buccal mucosa or tongue against haemoglobin values and their reproducibility among health workers. METHODS: A total of 2540 children 2 months to 5 years of age presenting to a rural health centre in Ethiopia were enrolled. Clinically detected pallor was compared with measured blood haemoglobin concentrations. RESULTS: Any anaemia (haemoglobin < 11 g/dl) was found in 61% of the children. Severe anaemia (haemoglobin < 5 g/dl) was found in 4%. The presence of any pallor clinically correlated with moderate anaemia (haemoglobin level < 8 g/dl) could be detected with a sensitivity of 95% and a specificity of 64-68% when the palm and nailbeds were used and a sensitivity of 84% and a specificity of 81% when the conjunctivae were used. Severe anaemia was detected clinically as severe pallor in 50-56% of cases (with a specificity of 95-96%). Agreement between physicians was highest for conjunctivae and nailbed pallor (87%) and lowest for palm pallor (73%). Using multivariate analysis, identification of a systolic ejection murmur or altered sensorium, the presence of splenomegaly or malarial parasitaemia were independently predictive of severe and moderately severe anaemia. CONCLUSIONS: Moderate and severe anaemia can be identified clinically in most cases for treatment and referral purposes. A systolic ejection murmur, altered sensorium, the presence of splenomegaly or malarial parasitaemia may be used as additional tools in considering urgent referral for blood transfusion. (+info)Adverse reactions triggered by dental local anesthetics: a clinical survey. (7/34)
One hundred and seventy-nine patients completed a questionnaire focusing on adverse reactions to dental local anesthetics as manifested by 16 signs and symptoms. Twenty-six percent of the participants reported having at least 1 adverse reaction. It was found that most of the adverse reactions occurred within the first 2 hours following the injection of local anesthetics. Pallor, palpitations, diaphoresis, and dizziness were the most common adverse reactions reported in the study. The results pointed to a significant relationship between anxiety, gender, injection technique, and procedure with a higher incidence of adverse reactions. (+info)Clinical differences between benign and malignant pheochromocytomas. (8/34)
Most pheochromocytomas can be cured by resection. In view of the unfavourable prognosis for surgical therapy in cases of late tumour detection and malignant tumours, the aim of the present study is to differentiate between typical signs and symptoms of malignant versus benign pheochromocytomas. We investigated the records of 133 patients retrospectively (1967-1998). In cases of benign tumours (104 of 133, mean age 42+/-15.8 years) tumour size was 5.9+/-3.4 cm, and history was 47.4+/-75.4 months. 7.7% of the tumours were extraadrenal, and 77% had paroxysmal manifestations. The other 29 patients (mean age: 39.2+/-21.9 years) had malignant lesions (tumour size: 9.4+/-5.9 cm (p=0.0022); history: 7.4+/-5.6 months (p=0.0137); extraadrenal: 24.1% (p=0.0219); paroxysmal: 37.9% (p=0.0012)). Symptoms of patients with benign tumours were hypertension (80%), headaches (42.3%), sweating (30.8%), tachycardia (26%) and pallor (24%) (Malignant: Hypertension 46%, p=0.0873; headaches 11%, p=0.0008; sweating 11%, p=0.0196; tachycardia 14%, p=0.1961 and pallor 0%, p=0.0010). Abdominal pain and dorsalgia occurred more frequently in malignant pheochromocytomas (26% versus 7%, p=0.0014). Unusually short histories and extraadrenal localization appear to be suspicious for malignancy. The "typical" clinical signs and symptoms occur more frequently in patients with benign tumours and can therefore be regarded as typical signs of benign pheochromocytomas. (+info)Pallor refers to an abnormal pale appearance of the skin and mucous membranes, often indicative of anemia or other systemic disorders affecting oxygenation or perfusion.
Pallor is a medical term that refers to an abnormal pale appearance of the skin, mucous membranes, or nail beds. It can be a sign of various underlying medical conditions such as anemia (a decrease in red blood cells or hemoglobin), blood loss, malnutrition, vitamin deficiencies, or certain diseases that affect circulation or oxygenation of the blood. Pallor can also occur due to emotional distress or fear, leading to a temporary reduction in blood flow to the skin. It is important to note that pallor should be evaluated in conjunction with other symptoms and medical history for an accurate diagnosis.
A systematic and thorough inspection of the body's organ systems using specific methods of observation, palpation, percussion, and auscultation to gather data for assessing health status, detect potential diseases or disorders, and guide further medical workup if necessary.
A physical examination is a methodical and systematic process of evaluating a patient's overall health status. It involves inspecting, palpating, percussing, and auscultating different parts of the body to detect any abnormalities or medical conditions. The primary purpose of a physical examination is to gather information about the patient's health, identify potential health risks, diagnose medical conditions, and develop an appropriate plan for prevention, treatment, or further evaluation.
During a physical examination, a healthcare provider may assess various aspects of a patient's health, including their vital signs (such as blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and respiratory rate), height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and overall appearance. They may also examine different organ systems, such as the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, neurological, musculoskeletal, and genitourinary systems, to identify any signs of disease or abnormalities.
Physical examinations are an essential part of preventive healthcare and are typically performed during routine check-ups, annual physicals, and when patients present with symptoms or concerns about their health. The specific components of a physical examination may vary depending on the patient's age, sex, medical history, and presenting symptoms.
Anemia is a condition characterized by a decrease in the total amount of red blood cells or a lower than normal level of hemoglobin in the blood, leading to insufficient oxygen transportation to body tissues.
Anemia is a medical condition characterized by a lower than normal number of red blood cells or lower than normal levels of hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin is an important protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Anemia can cause fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and a pale complexion because the body's tissues are not getting enough oxygen.
Anemia can be caused by various factors, including nutritional deficiencies (such as iron, vitamin B12, or folate deficiency), blood loss, chronic diseases (such as kidney disease or rheumatoid arthritis), inherited genetic disorders (such as sickle cell anemia or thalassemia), and certain medications.
There are different types of anemia, classified based on the underlying cause, size and shape of red blood cells, and the level of hemoglobin in the blood. Treatment for anemia depends on the underlying cause and may include dietary changes, supplements, medication, or blood transfusions.
The conjunctiva is the mucous membrane that lines the inner surface of the eyelids and covers the front part of the eye, serving to protect and lubricate the eyeball.
The conjunctiva is the mucous membrane that lines the inner surface of the eyelids and covers the front part of the eye, also known as the sclera. It helps to keep the eye moist and protected from irritants. The conjunctiva can become inflamed or infected, leading to conditions such as conjunctivitis (pink eye).
'Nails' in medical terms primarily refer to the hard, protective plates made of keratin protein that grow from the matrix of the dorsal aspect of fingers and toes, providing physical protection and aiding in tactile sensation.
In the context of medical terminology, "nails" primarily refer to the keratinous plates that are found at the tips of fingers and toes. These specialized structures are part of the outermost layer of the skin (epidermis) and are formed by a type of cells called keratinocytes. The nails serve to protect the delicate underlying tissues from trauma, and they also aid in tasks such as picking up small objects or scratching itches.
The medical term for fingernails and toenails is "unguis," which comes from Latin. Each nail consists of several parts:
1. Nail plate: The visible part of the nail that is hard and flat, made up of keratin.
2. Nail bed: The skin beneath the nail plate to which the nail plate is attached; it supplies blood to the nail.
3. Matrix: The area where new cells are produced for the growth of the nail plate; located under the cuticle and extends slightly onto the finger or toe.
4. Lunula: The crescent-shaped white area at the base of the nail plate, which is the visible portion of the matrix.
5. Cuticle: The thin layer of skin that overlaps the nail plate and protects the underlying tissue from infection.
6. Eponychium: The fold of skin that surrounds and covers the nail plate; also known as the "proximal nail fold."
7. Hyponychium: The area of skin between the free edge of the nail plate and the fingertip or toe tip.
8. Perionychiun: The skin surrounding the nail on all sides.
Understanding the anatomy and medical aspects of nails is essential for healthcare professionals, as various conditions can affect nail health, such as fungal infections, ingrown nails, or tumors.
The optic disk, also known as the optic nerve head, is the point where the optic nerve and blood vessels enter the back of the eye, forming a pale, slightly elevated area that is devoid of photoreceptors, and represents the blind spot in the visual field.
The optic disk, also known as the optic nerve head, is the point where the optic nerve fibers exit the eye and transmit visual information to the brain. It appears as a pale, circular area in the back of the eye, near the center of the retina. The optic disk has no photoreceptor cells (rods and cones), so it is insensitive to light. It is an important structure to observe during eye examinations because changes in its appearance can indicate various ocular diseases or conditions, such as glaucoma, optic neuritis, or papilledema.
Hemoglobin is a tetrameric protein in red blood cells that consists of two α-globin and two β-globin polypeptide chains, each associated with a heme group, responsible for oxygen transport throughout the body. (27 characters left)
Hemoglobin (Hb or Hgb) is the main oxygen-carrying protein in the red blood cells, which are responsible for delivering oxygen throughout the body. It is a complex molecule made up of four globin proteins and four heme groups. Each heme group contains an iron atom that binds to one molecule of oxygen. Hemoglobin plays a crucial role in the transport of oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues, and also helps to carry carbon dioxide back to the lungs for exhalation.
There are several types of hemoglobin present in the human body, including:
* Hemoglobin A (HbA): This is the most common type of hemoglobin, making up about 95-98% of total hemoglobin in adults. It consists of two alpha and two beta globin chains.
* Hemoglobin A2 (HbA2): This makes up about 1.5-3.5% of total hemoglobin in adults. It consists of two alpha and two delta globin chains.
* Hemoglobin F (HbF): This is the main type of hemoglobin present in fetal life, but it persists at low levels in adults. It consists of two alpha and two gamma globin chains.
* Hemoglobin S (HbS): This is an abnormal form of hemoglobin that can cause sickle cell disease when it occurs in the homozygous state (i.e., both copies of the gene are affected). It results from a single amino acid substitution in the beta globin chain.
* Hemoglobin C (HbC): This is another abnormal form of hemoglobin that can cause mild to moderate hemolytic anemia when it occurs in the homozygous state. It results from a different single amino acid substitution in the beta globin chain than HbS.
Abnormal forms of hemoglobin, such as HbS and HbC, can lead to various clinical disorders, including sickle cell disease, thalassemia, and other hemoglobinopathies.
