Jung Yeon Shim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2020;63(12):469-476.   Published online June 10, 2020
Macrolides are the first line treatment in atypical pneumonia caused by M. pneumoniae, C. pneumoniae, and L. pneumophila. Macrolide-resistant mycoplasma pneumonia (MRMP) is emerging worldwide, especially in East Asia. Immune modulators such as corticosteroids or second line antibiotics are treatment options for MRMP. Pediatricians should be careful with empirical therapy of macrolides in children with mild to moderate community-acquired pneumonia not to increase the risk of MRMP.

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(8):875-880.   Published online August 15, 2001
Purpose : Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) has generally been more sensitive than traditional tests for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis which has been a leading cause of sexually transmitted disease. We performed this study to find out if there is an association between C. trachomatis infection and low birth weight(LBW) or prematurity. Methods : The study included 98 premature or LBW infants...

We performed chlamydia antigen test by enzyme immunoassay in 322 infants who were admitted because of pneumonia. Clinical investigation and statistical analysis were done between chlamydia antigen positive group and negative group. The results obtain were as follows 1) Chlamydia antigen positive were resulted in 42 cases (13.04%) among 322 cases. 2) The mean age of Chlamydia positive and negative group were 14.2±6.2 weeks and 11.5±5. 7weeks respectively. 3) Afebrile...
