Jung Hoon You, Hyung Shin Lee, Kyung Yil Lee, Ja Hyun Hong, Mi Hee Lee, Byung Cheol Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(1):97-100.   Published online January 15, 2005
Diffuse panbronchiolitis(DPB) is a chronic inflammatory airway disease predominantly affecting respiratory bronchioles, with distinct clinicopathological profiles. It was first described in 1966 by Yamanaka et al. The etiology of DPB is not yet clear, and the natural history of the disease is respiratory failure leading to cor pulmonale and ultimately death. But the long-term use of low-dose macrolide has proven...

Serum ECP, RANTES and Eotaxin Levels in Infants with Bronchiolitis
Jong Seo Yoon, Mi Hee Lee, Joon Sung Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2004;47(2):170-176.   Published online February 15, 2004
Purpose : Viral respiratory infection, especially respiratory syncytial(RS) virus, can predispose sufferers to the development of asthma by mechanisms that are presently undetermined. The role of inflammatory mediators in pathogenesis of asthma and RS virus disease is not well-understood. We investigated the performance of serum eosinophil cationic protein(ECP), regulated on activation normal T-cell expressed and secreted(RANTES) and eotaxin levels on...
The Significances of Chest X-ray Findings and Serum IFN-γ, IL-5, ECP as Predictors of Prognosis of Bronchiolitis and Bronchopneumonia in Infants
Su Hyun Cho, Hyun Seung Lee, Mi Hee Lee, Joon Sung Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2003;46(3):230-235.   Published online March 15, 2003
Purpose : Lower respiratory tract infections in infant and young children are often due to a virus, especially the Respiratory syncytial(RS) virus. Chest X-ray findings in bronchiolitis and bronchopneumonia are different. The radiographic hallmark of bronchiolitis is pulmonary hyperinflation and similar to that of bronchial asthma. Bronchiolitis is predisposed to later development of bronchial asthma. To evaluate the difference of...
