What this deck covers
Interstitial Lung Disease in Children in twelve illustrated clinical cases with worked explanations – case presentations built around clinical images, radiology, teaching illustrations and real laboratory data, with the reference range beside every value a case quotes. This visual, data-interpretation style of practice suits candidates preparing for MRCPCH AKP in particular, alongside the Saudi Prometric (SCFHS) exam, the Arab Board, DHA and OMSB. Each case gives you a clinical vignette, four options, the correct answer, and an explanation of why each of the other three is wrong.
The twelve cases, in order
- The baby who never slowed down
- Five doors before the rare one
- Term, ventilated, and not getting better
- The ladder that ends before the knife
- The scan that names it
- The steroids question
- Why the oxygen falls
- The fingers knew
- The bird in the house
- More than oxygen
- Two genes, two conversations
- What not to do next
What this deck teaches
- Since the first weeks is a different disease. Persistent tachypnoea with crackles, not episodes of wheeze – that child needs the chILD question asked.
- Exclude the common five first. CF, immunodeficiency, cardiac disease, aspiration, infection – each has a cheaper test.
- A term baby with a premature film. Genetic surfactant disease until the panel says otherwise – send it early.
- Scan and genes before the knife. A classic NEHI CT or a diagnostic variant ends the workup without a biopsy.
- NEHI improves and steroids do not help it. Oxygen, calories and a confident prognosis are the treatment.
- The thickened wall is the physiology. Gas crosses a widening gap – desaturation shows at exertion, feeds and sleep first.
Exam pearls from this deck
- The infant who has breathed fast since birth has a different disease from the infant who started last week.
- Five commoner causes, five specific tests – the label chILD is only allowed after all five doors are closed.
