Purpose : The incidence of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is twice as high in East Asians as in whites and its metabolic basis has not been clearly explained. Recently, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase gene (UGT1A1) mutation was found to be a risk factor of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in Japanese and Taiwanese Chinese. We studied whether neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is associated with mutation of UGT1A1, which is a... |

Neonatal herpes simplex virus(HSV) infections result in significant morbidity and mortality. Although acyclovir treatment has improved survival, severe neurological sequelae can occur in the majority of survivors. HSV infections limited to the skin, eyes and mouth(SEM) can cause neurologic impairment. A direct correlation exists between the development of neurologic deficits and the frequency of cutaneous HSV recurrences. National Institutes of... |

Mycoplasma pneumoniae has been shown to be of etiologic importance in cases of upper-and lower-respiratory tract infections, especially in children and young adults. It may cause a variety of extrapulmonary manifestations in multiple organ systems, most commonly the central nervous system. The extrapulmonary syndromes include meningitis, cerebral infarction, acute transverse myelitis, psychosis, cerebellar ataxia, Guillain-Barré syndrome and Reye syndrome. Cerebral... |
