Changes in Mean Platelet Volume and Platelet Distribution Width after Therapy in Childhood Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Jong Tai Kim, Kyung Won Lee, Soon Nam Kim, Moon Kyu Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(4):505-511.   Published online April 15, 2002
Purpose : Mean platelet volume(MPV) and platelet distribution width(PDW) are useful parameters in evaluating disorders of platelets. In cases with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP), they change as platelet count increases. In this study, we compared the values of MPV and PDW in ITP patients at diagnosis with those of normal children. We also studied whether the early changes in MPV may...

Purpose : Streptococcus pneumoniae is a normal flora and common pathogen of the upper respiratory tract. S. pneumoniae infections are estimated to cause not only localized infection such as pneumonia, and otitis media, but also systemic infections, for example meningitis, sepsis, and so on. Recently, the resistance of S. pneumoniae to penicillin and multidrug has been rapidly increasing in many...

Two Cases of Virus Associated Hemophagocytic Syndrome
Jae Hee Han, Hyun Chul Lee, Hwang Min Kim, Jong Soo Kim, Kyung Won Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1993;36(10):1458-1465.   Published online October 15, 1993
Virus associated hemophagocytic syndrome, class II histiocytoses, characterized by high fever, severe constitutional symptoms, abnormal liver function and coagulation, peripheral blood pancytopenia and histiocytic hyperplasis with prominent hemophagocytosis in bone marrow and lymph nodes has been reported and associated with active viral infection. It is non-malignant and reversible. It must be differentiated from histiocytic medullary reticuosis because of the inappropriateness...

Hae Joon Park, In Soon Ahn, Baek Keun Lim, Young Uh, Kyung Won Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1988;31(1):113-118.   Published online January 31, 1988
Hereditary elliptocytosis is characterized by elliptically shaped erythrocytes in peripheral blood and known to be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait, but in some cases, inherited recessively. The clinical and hematologic expressions are variable range from healthy person with normal red cell morphology to severe hemolytic anemia. Recently, the authors experienced all three offsprings shown non-hemolytic hereditary el- liptocytosis, whose parents were healthy persons with...
