A Case of Q Fever : Person-to-Person Transmission
So Jung An, Ja Wook Koo, Chul Young Chung, Won Young Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(1):120-124.   Published online January 15, 1998
Q fever is an important zoonosis caused by the rickrttsial organism, Coxiella burnetii. It is a very contagious organism which humans can contact by inhaling aerosolized organisms. Most commonly it leads to an acute flu-like illness. The diagnosis is usually confirmed serologically using a complement fixation or microimmunofluorescence test. Previous reports suggest that case -to - case in men is rare. We report person-to-person...
A Case of Q Fever with Agranulocytosis
Seong Woo Choi, Ja Wook Koo, Heung Dong Kim, Churl Young Chung, Won Young Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(6):848-852.   Published online June 15, 1995
A 9-year old boy suffered from fever 20 days. He lived in rural area near farms rearing cows, goats, sheep. He had fever for 20 days with mild respiratory symptom, hepatosplenomegaly and agranulocytosis. Coxiella burnetii infection was confirmed by the blood culture and demonstration of the specific antibodies in the indirect fluorescent antibody test. Four weeks later, agranulocytosis was improved...

Detection of Enterovirus in Patients with Aseptic Meningitis by Reverse Transcription and Polymerase Chain Reaction
Souck Joong Yoon, Sung Jin Hong, Young Hyuk Lee, Min Hee Kim, Kyo Sun Kim, Kyu Hyun Park, Jae Myun Lee, Won Young Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(9):1226-1234.   Published online September 15, 1994
The aim of this study was to determine the applicability of reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction(RT/PCR) for routine diagnostic use and for the detection of enteroviral mentigitis, Primers were selected in the highly conserved part of the 5'-non-coding region of the enteroviral genome. Enteroviral RNA was detected by the RT/PCR in routinely collected cerebrospinal fluids(CSF) of patients with aseptic...
Coxiella Burnetii Infection In Patients With Various Diseases
Kyo Sun Kim, Won Young Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(3):356-367.   Published online March 15, 1994
Coxiella burnetii(C. burneii) was first recognzed as the agent of Q fever in 1937. Q fever is an acute self-limited febrile illness. However, it manifests with several clinical symptoms depending upon the organs that are involved. The association of C. burnetii with human neoplasia has been rarely reported. We prospectively studied the 55 patients with fever of unknown origin, pneumonia, hepatos-plenomegaly,...
Detection of Cytomegalovirus DNA in Urine Culture Using Polymerase Chain Reaction
Young Mo Sohn, Won Young Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1993;36(5):626-633.   Published online May 15, 1993
Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) amplication was used to detect cytomegalovirus (CMV) in tissue culture from the ruine of newborns and patients who was suspected CMV infection. Synthetic oligonucleotide primer pairs were used to amplify DNA from the magor immediate-early and the phosphoprotein 150 genes of CMV AD 169. Amplified products were detected by gel electrophoresis and by dot-blot hybridization with oligonucleotide...

Clinical Features of Twelve Coxiellemia Pediatric Patients in Korea
Chuhl-Joo Lyu, Dong Soo Kim, Young Mo Sohn, Ki Sup Chung, Kir-Young Kim, Won Young Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1992;35(9):1220-1225.   Published online September 15, 1992
Coxiella burnetii is a rickettsial organism and extremely infectious for humans animals. The infection caused by this organism is endemic throughout the world. Although it has not been reported in Korea because of the nonspecific clinical manifestations, the difficulties in diagnosis, and the underestimate of this disease. Update this infection has been misdiagnosed as other disease. We experienced twelve cases of...
Congenital cytomegalovirus infection: incidence and clinical outcome.
Young Mo Sohn, Kook In Park, Chul Lee, Dong Kwan Han, Won Young Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(10):1365-1372.   Published online October 31, 1991
In order to assess the rate of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in newborns, CMV IgG antibody was studies at about 37.5 weeks gestation in 309 mothers and a positive rate of 96.4% was obtained. Virus culture for CMV from urine of 514 neonates less than 1 week after birth resulted in CMV growth in 6 neonates showing a 1.2% congenital infection rate. In...
A case of neonatal herpes simplex virus encephalitis.
Kook In Park, Young Mo Sohn, Dong Soo Kim, Ran Namgung, Chul Lee, Dong Gwan Han, Won Young Lee, Ki Keun Oh, Myung Joon Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(9):1276-1285.   Published online September 30, 1991
Neonatal herpes simplex virus infection still remains a life-threatening infection for the newborn. With an increasing incidence of genital herpes and an increase in the incidence of neonatal herpes simplex virus infections, it is important that pediatricians and neonatologists continue to maintain a high index of suspicion in infants whose symptoms may be compatible with herpes simplex virus infections so that early identification leads...

Numerous problems has not been solved in the field of pulmonary tuberculosis, especially in chemotherapy. There has been many turning points in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis such as; introduction of streptomycin, combination therapy, isoniazid single therapy, intermittent chemotherapy, and recent short-term chemotherapy. It is very important to know about individual drugs for the better chemotherapy. So a review has...
