A family with Townes-Brocks syndrome with congenital hypothyroidism and a novel mutation of the SALL1 gene
Won Ik Choi, Ji Hye Kim, Han Wook Yoo, Sung Hee Oh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2010;53(12):1018-1021.   Published online December 31, 2010

Townes-Brocks syndrome (TBS) is a rare autosomal dominant congenital disorder caused by mutations in the SALL1 gene. Its signs and symptoms overlap with other genetic syndromes, including VACTERL association, Pendred syndrome, Baller-Gerold syndrome, and cat eye syndrome. Structural vertebral abnormalities, hypoplasia of the thumb, and radial bone abnormalities, which are not usually associated with TBS, help in the differential diagnosis...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2009;52(9):1053-1058.   Published online September 15, 2009
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is one of the most commonly encountered viral pathogens in newborn infants and is found in 0.3-2.4% of all live births. It has been demonstrated that 40-96% of seropositive mothers shed the virus via their breast milk. Breast milk containing CMV can cause almost one-third of CMV infections occurring in infants. A case of postnatal CMV infection in...

Update in varicella vaccination
Sung Hee Oh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(3):229-234.   Published online March 15, 2006
Varicella, which is mostly a benign disease, but also can cause considerable health burden in the community, can be prevented by immunization with live attenuated varicella vaccine. Higher uptake of varicella vaccine by universal immunization in North America has apparently been associated with decline in the number of reported cases of varicella, varicella-related hospitalizations, and the number of deaths caused...

Dong Koo Kim, Young Dai Kim, Ho Jun Lim, Sung Hee Oh, Hahng Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2004;47(3):338-342.   Published online March 15, 2004
Parvovirus B19, a member of the Erythrovirus genus, is the only member of the Parvoviridae family known to be pathogenic in humans. Haematological consequences of B19 infection arise due to a direct cytotoxic effect on erythroid progenitors in bone marrow, resulting in interruption of erythrocyte production. The physiology of host haematopoiesis and competence of the immune response each determines clinical...

The Retrospective Study on Antibiotics Treatment in Acute Gastroenteritis
Ji Hye Kim, Sung Hee Oh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(6):826-834.   Published online June 15, 1997
Purpose : Most of the gastroenteritis due to viruses and some bacteria can be successfully managed by oral and/or intravenous fluid-electrolyte replacement and antibiotic therapy is unnecessary and even harmful. It is, however, not uncommon practice to prescribe antibiotics when acute gastroentritis is suspected. Therefore authors analysed the clinical courses of the patients treated for acute non-bacterial gastroenteritis in a university hospital to assess...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(3):319-327.   Published online March 15, 1995
Purpose : Paranasal sinusitis, easily overlooked owing to it's benign symptomatology, should be considered when the upper respiratory tract infction persists longer than seven days. Without early recognition and appropriate management, the disease will take a chronic course and the incidence of complications will be increased. The significance of paranasal sinusitis among Korean children has not appropriately been appreciated; therefore,...
