All infants should receive hearing screening before 1 month of age
Evoked otoacoustic emission (EOAE) testing is the method of
hearing screening used for universal newborn screening
What are recommendations for screening retinoblastoma
● The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)
recommendations for vision screening for children six
months to 5 years of age
● The American Association of Ophthalmic
Oncologist and Pathologists (AAOOP)
screening recommendations for children at
risk for retinoblastoma all infants and children
should have a red reflex exam before
discharge from the newborn nursery and after
that at every health maintenance visit
Education for preventing eye injuries
● Using safety gates and cushions/pads at sharp corners,
storing sharp utensils/tools out of reach of children, and
storing chemicals securely
● Restraining children properly in the car
(seatbelt), not allowing children under 12 years
of age to sit in the front seat
● Limiting/supervising the use of laser pointers, BB
guns, air rifles, paintball devices, darts, and
fireworks
Scabies diagnosis and treatment
● Key finding: Itching, worse at night, initially mild but
progressively more intense
○ Fitful sleep, crankiness, or rubbing of hands
and feet (infants) lesions include curving S-
shaped burrows, especially on webs of fingers
and sides of hands, folds of wrists and
armpits, forearms, elbows, belt line, buttocks,
genitalia, or proximal half of foot and heel.
● Diagnostics: Microscopic examination of scrapings
from an unscratched burrow in saline or mineral oil
can reveal an eight-legged mite, eggs, or feces. Do
not use KOH because it dissolves the mites, eggs,
and feces. Burrows and fresh papules are best for
specimen collection
, ● Treat with permethrin 5%, repeated in 1 week;
use an antihistamine, hydrocortisone, or
nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
for itching; simultaneously treat family members
(even if asymptomatic), friends, and
school/daycare contacts
● At the time of treatment, linens and any clothing worn
during the past 48 hours should be washed with hot
water, put into a hot dryer for 20 minutes, or dry-
cleaned. The house should be vacuumed
● Educate the family about the course of the
disease. Rash and itching persist for up to 3
weeks following treatment
● The child should not be infectious 24 hours after
treatment and may return to school or daycare.
