Purpose : The incidence of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is twice as high in East Asians as in Caucasians. However, its metabolic basis has not been clearly explained. The UDP-glucuronosyltransferase gene(UGT1A1) mutation was found to be a risk factor of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. We studied whether neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is associated with the 1828G>A(rs 10929303) polymorphism of the UGT1A1 gene, which encodes for a...

The improvement in survival for childhood cancer has been achieved through the use of multiple- agent chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, one of the limitations to quality and length of survival has been the development of second malignant neoplasm. We exprienced a case of second malignant neoplasm in 13-year-old boy who developed osteogenic sarcoma after successful treatment of retinoblastoma. At 3 years of his age,...

The definite diagnosis and precise assessment of response to therapy is still a problem in childhood tuberculosis because these patients rarely produce sputum and if obtained it may be negative. For this reason, diagnosis rely largely on the clinical and X-ray examination, which have a low specificity and high proportion of false positive results. Recently immunologic diagnosis of tuberculosis using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was...
