So Hyun Kim, Ji Ah Jung, Hae-Soon Kim, Eun Sun Yoo, Sejung Sohn, Jeong Wan Seo, Seung Joo Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(8):967-972.   Published online August 15, 2002
Purpose : A retrospective study was undertaken to evaluate the usefulness of low risk criteria for identifying febrile infants younger than three months unlikely to have serious bacterial infection. Methods : We conducted a retrospective study of 527 infants younger than three month with a axillary temperature ≥37.4℃. If they met the following all four criteria, appear well, WBC 5,000- 20,000/mm3,...
Effects of Ductal Closure on Flow Velocities of Peripheral Pulmonary Arteries in Normal Term Infants
Hae-Soon Kim, Se Jeong Sohn, Young Mi Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(10):1318-1322.   Published online October 15, 2000
Purpose : This study was performed to evaluate whether a relationship may exist between transient peripheral pulmonary stenosis and the closure of the ductus arteriosus in term infants. Methods : A total of 69 healthy full-term infants had pulmonary artery and ductal color Doppler flow velocity assessment performed at of 10 hours age(group I), 1-2 days of age(group II), and...
Detection of Herpes Viral DNA in Peripheral Blood of Kawasaki Disease Patient by Nested Polymerase Chain Reaction
Hae-Soon Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(9):1180-1186.   Published online September 15, 2000
Purpose : Epidemiologic evidence suggests an infectious cause for Kawasaki disease(KD), but the etiology of KD remains unknown. The aim of this study was to determine whether viral infections are related in the pathogenesis of KD by detecting viral genomes using nested polymerase chain reaction. Methods : Peripheral blood was obtained from 18 acute KD patients before administration of intravenous gamma...
Effects of Respiration on Right and Left Ventricular Diastolic Function in Normal Children
Hae-Soon Kim, Young Mi Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(10):1412-1418.   Published online October 15, 1999
Purpose : To evaluate the effects of respiration on diastolic filling pattern in normal children by Doppler echocardiography. Materials and Methods : Doppler echocardiograms of the tricuspid and mitral valves were recorded with electrocardiogram and respirations in 46 normal children aged 3months to 14years(7.6¡¾3.5year). We measured the following variables: heart rate, the peak E and A velocities, the area under the...
