Sample Pediatrics Practice Question

An ill-appearing 9-year-old presents with a fever for two days. He has a productive cough, rhinorrhea, and fatigue. His appetite is decreased, but his fluid intake is adequate. His medical history is unremarkable, but his immunization history is unknown. Vital signs include a temperature of 102.8°F (39.3°C), heart rate of 112/min., respiratory rate of 24/min., and oxygen saturation of 89% on room air. The physical examination is remarkable for rhinorrhea, right-sided rales, and scattered rhonchi. A chest x-ray is shown. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this patient's illness?  

Correct Answer: A. Lobar pneumonia

Pneumonia is a lung infection associated with fever, respiratory symptoms, and evidence of parenchymal involvement – either by physical examination or the presence of infiltrates on a chest X-ray. A discrete, unilateral infiltrate confined to a single lobe is termed lobar pneumonia. Consolidation in lobar pneumonia is primarily found in the alveolar air spaces with relative sparing of bronchi. This results in air bronchograms on X-rays, representing non-opacified bronchi within consolidated parenchyma. The consolidation spreads across segmental boundaries, but the lobar appearance results from the limitation of spread across pleural boundaries. The most common cause of lobar pneumonia in children is Streptococcus pneumoniae. Other causative organisms include Klebsiella pneumoniae, Legionella pneumophila, Haemophilus influenzae, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Patients present with fever, productive cough, dyspnea, rigors, malaise, and pleuritic chest pain. Hemoptysis may occur. Physical examination reveals bronchial breathing, adventitious breath sounds, and dullness to percussion in a lobar pattern. A pleural rub may also be present. 
 
Incorrect Answers: 
B. A pneumatocele appears as a gas-filled cavity in the lung parenchyma. 
 
C. Miliary pneumonia occurs in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections and is associated with multiple discrete lesions due to the hematogenous spread of the pathogen within the lungs. 
 
D. Interstitial pneumonia appears as patchy or diffuse infiltrates of the interstitium. It is usually caused by viruses.
 
E. Bronchopneumonia is characterized by a pattern of patchy consolidation in one or more secondary lobules of a lung. It reflects peribronchiolar inflammation and is most commonly caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Streptococcus pneumoniae
 
Vital Concept:  
Lobar pneumonia is characterized by opacification in a lobar pattern caused by alveolar consolidation. Air bronchograms represent non-opacified airways. Lobar pneumonia is usually bacterial; the most common organism is Streptococcus pneumoniae
