Laboratory testing in children is not just a smaller version of adult diagnostics: physiological differences, sample limitations, age-specific norms, and unique disease patterns make interpretation far more nuanced. Missteps in ordering, sampling, or interpreting pediatric lab tests can easily lead to misdiagnosis, unnecessary treatment, or missed red flags.

In this focused session, Dr. Tushar Maniar will walk clinicians through the most common and clinically important pitfalls encountered in pediatric laboratory testing. From understanding age-dependent reference ranges to recognizing errors, the session will provide practical guidance on how to avoid misinterpretation and improve diagnostic accuracy.

Nausea and vomiting are very common symptoms in the pediatric population. Whether presenting in the emergency department or in an outpatient clinic, they are a frequent reason for parents to seek medical attention. Vomiting in children is most commonly acute infectious gastroenteritis; However the differential diagnosis of vomiting in the pediatric age group may be a result of a range of causes, including GI (i.e., obstructive and inflammatory) etiologies, CNS disease, pulmonary problems, renal disease, endocrine/metabolic disorders or drug related. Persistent and severe vomiting, if untreated, may result in clinically significant volume depletion and electrolyte disturbances. Dr. Tushar Maniar, Head of Dept of Paediatrics at Nanavati Max Superspecialty Hospital, discusses his specialised approach to treating children who present with nausea and vomiting.

Children with a history of recurrent, severe, or unusual infections present a diagnostic challenge. It is important to maintain a high index of suspicion for the diagnosis of immunodeficiency. The physical examination of a child with suspected immune deficiency should be thorough.

We also discuss potential differential diagnoses in the event of an unconfirmed immune deficiency diagnosis, followed by an adept assessment of well-known "immune boosters". Tune into the session and get expertise in the early investigation and treatment of a child with an underlying primary immunodeficiency, which can ultimately prevent significant end-organ damage and improve survival and long-term outlook.

Immune Disorders in Pediatric Practice: Identification and Intervention

The most prevalent cause of mild morbidity is an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), which can affect both adults and children. The rhinovirus, coronavirus, parainfluenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus, human metapneumovirus, and influenza are among the families of viruses that typically cause upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), also known as "the common cold," and its symptoms. In the summer, the enterovirus is occasionally mentioned. Recent research has also linked URTI to the recently identified bocavirus, which is related to the parvovirus. The appropriate use of antibiotics, recent information cautioning against over-the-counter treatments for URTI in children under two years of age, growing data on complementary and alternative medicines (CAM), and other affordable evidence-based interventions are some management challenges. Join us live with one of our best paediatric expert to understand current approach to URTIs.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children appear to be simple and straightforward matters, but there are mutiple and frequently updated guidelines  on UTIs in this patient group, and it remains one of the most - if not the most - controversial fields in paediatric medicine. Substantial over- and under-diagnosing can result from practical difficulties in at least three areas, including problems with collecting urine samples, in interpreting bacterial counts correctly, and in confusing infantile asymptomatic bacteriuria and a true symptomatic febrile UTI. To address these dilemmas in diagnosis, we have Dr. Tushar Maniar, Head of Dept of Peadiatrics, Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital, going over some interesting cases that will seamlessly trace the journey from differential diagnoses of UTIs in children to arriving at the final diagnosis.

Influenza seems to be the flavor of the month! H1N1 Swine flu is a subtype of influenza A virus, which causes upper, and potentially, lower respiratory tract infections in the host it infects, resulting in symptoms such as nasal secretions, chills, fever, decreased appetite, and possibly lower respiratory tract disease. H1N1 swine influenza is a common infection in pigs worldwide, and that is why it is also known as swine flu. Join us LIVE on MEDFLIX as Dr. Tushar Shah discusses the presentation, evaluation, and management of H1N1 influenza.
