We investigated the cause of death through medical...
Local Rifampicin Instillation Therapy for Suppurative Bacillus Calmette-Gu rin Lymphadenitis
Mee Jeong Kim, Seong Hee Jang, Young Min Ahn, Mi Kyoung Kang, Sang Jae Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(4):454-458.   Published online April 15, 2002
Purpose : Bacillus Calmette-Gu rin(BCG) lymphadenitis is one of the most common complications of BCG vaccination. The involved lymph nodes usually subside spontaneously, but they may become enlarged and form an abscess. Treatment of these infants is controversial. The Pan American Health Organization recommends local isoniazid or rifampicin instillation for patients with suppurative BCG lymphadenitis. Methods : The study group comprised...
Clinical Manifestations of Group A β-Hemolytic Streptococcal Pharyngits and Usefulness of Rapid Antigen Test
Youn Jeong Shin, Seong Hee Jang, Eun Sil Dong, Young Min Ahn, Myung Suk Ku
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(7):732-741.   Published online July 15, 2001
Purpose : Accurate diagnosis of group A streptococcal(GAS) pharyngitis and appropriate antimicrobial therapy are important, particularly to prevent nonsuppurative sequelae and to reduce the improper use of antibiotics. Because the clinical presentation of pharyngitis does not reliably predict the etiologic agent, when GAS infection is suspected, diagnosis should be based on the result of a throat swab culture or antigen-detection...
Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis in Children
Seong Hee Jang, Yoon Hwa Cha, Young Min Ahn, Sang Jae Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(6):818-825.   Published online June 15, 1997
Purpose : Initial drug resistance of children with tuberculosis is a useful performance indicator of tuberculosis control programme in the concerned country because it represented infection transmitted from adult patients with either primary or acquired drug resistance. But there have been a few studies available. The present study was made to know the incidence of drug-resistant tuberculosis in hopes of...

A Case of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection Presented with Apnea
Eun Ha Choi, Seong Hee Jang, Young Min Ahn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(4):558-561.   Published online April 15, 1996
Respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) is currently implicated as the most common and otentially serious viral respiratory pathogen of young infants. Apnea in association with RSV infection occurred in about 18% of the infants. Premature birth and a young postnatal age were risk factors for development of apnea with RSV disease. We experienced a case of RSV infection in a 37 day-old...

Eun Ha Choi, Seong Hee Jang, Eun Sil Dong, Young Min Ann
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(12):1690-1693.   Published online December 15, 1995
Systemic infection due to Streptococcus pneumoniae is a serious, albeit rare disease in the neonatal period. There is no case of pneumococcal sepsis reported in Korea. The results of epidemiologic studies suggest that the majority of infants with pneumococcal septicemia acquire the microorganisms either by the ascending route or during passage throught the birth canal. The mortality is high in...

Prader-Willi syndrome is characterized by infantile hypotonia, mental retardation, hyperhagia, hypogonadism and obestiy. Approximately 60% of all PLW syndrome show an interstitial deletion of chromosome 15, 37% have apparently normal chromosome, and 3.6% have a variety of other abnormalities involving chromosome 15. Diabetes mellitus has been considered a component of PLW syndrome and the incidence is about 7%. We...

Hoan Jong Lee, Seong Hee Jang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1992;35(10):1389-1401.   Published online October 15, 1992
Although lower respiratory tract infection is a major cause of childhood morbidity in Korea and respiratory viruses are presumed to be important pathogens, there have been few studies available. We diagnosed RSV infection by virus isolation and immunofluorescence in children with lower respiratory tract infection, seen at Seoul National University Children's Hospital from Nov. 1990 to Jul. 1991. The results were...
