A case of transient diabetes mellitus and diabetic ketoacidosis induced by L-asparaginase and prednisolone administration in a patient with relapsed acute lymphocytic leukemia.
Won Kyu Choi, Mee Kyung Namgoong, Har Yong Lee, Hwang Min Kim, Jong Soo Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(9):1316-1322.   Published online September 30, 1991
L-asparaginase is known as an effective anticancer drug in the induction chemotherapy of acute lymphocytic leukemia. The side effects or toxicities of L-asparaginase and prednisolone are hypersen- sitivity reaction, hepatotoxicity, pancreatitis and transient diabetes mellitus, CNS toxicity, disorder of coagulation system and mild cytotoxicity. We experienced a case of transient diabetes mellitus and diabetic ketoacidosis induced by L- asparaginase, prednisolone, vincristine and MTX administration in...
A case of myelofibrosis with juvenile xanthogranuloma.
Jong Chan Kim, Hae Yong Lee, Hwang Min Kim, Baek Keun Lim, Jong Soo Kim, Young Hyuk Lee

Myelofibrrosis is characterized by anemia, leukoerythroblastosis, extramedullary hematopoiesis, hepatosplenomegaly, osteosclerosis and fibrosis of bone marrow. Idiopathc myelofibrosis is usually a disease of the adult and is rare in the pediatric age group. Juvenile xanthogranuloma is characterized by multiple papules on forehead and scalp. Lipid laden histiocytes and Touton giant cell are found in skin biopsy. We experienced a case of myelofibrosis with juvenile xanthogranuloma....
Two cases of ectopic sublingual thyroid with hypothyroidism to be appeared in fetal life.

Infants & children with hypothyrodism usually manifest variable skeletal abnormality. These features are the delay in longitudinal bone growth, the delay in epiphyseal maturation (=delay in bone age), the disturbances in bone mineralization and charateristic multiple stippled epiphysis (cretenoid epiphyseal dysgenesis). But many pediatrician have only concerned about the delay in epiphyseal maturation. Epiphyseal dysgenesis can be used a marker to find out the begining...
A case of citrobacter freundii osteomyelitis.
Hyung Goo Cho, Dong Sig Kim, Hwang Min Kim, Jae Seung Yang, Baek Keun Lim, Jong Soo Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(3):408-412.   Published online March 31, 1991
Citrobacter although once regarded as nonpathogenic, has been responsible for many well- documented pathologic conditions, especially in compromised hosts. These include urinary tract, pulmonary and bone infections, gastroenteritis, gangrenous ulcer with septicemia, meningitis, and brain abscess. Citrobacter organisms have a mosaic of 0, K and H antigens that are found in the Enterobacter- iaceae. Cross reactions with antisera of other members of the Enterobacteriaceae suggest...
The normal values of platelet count, mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width in the normal newborn, small for gestational age and premature neonates.
Eun Kyung Oh, Hae Yong Lee, Hwang Min Kim, Jae Seung Yang, Baek Keun Lim, Jong Soo Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(3):340-347.   Published online March 31, 1991
The importance of establishing authentic normal platelet count, mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width in the newborn has been emphasized, but they have not been firmly established. We have presented values for platelet count, mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width in the venous blood of term, small for gestational age and premature neonates at postnatal day 1 and 7. The results were...
Three Cases of Transverse Myelopathy.
Hae Joung Joung, Hwang Min Kim, Jae Seung Yang, Baek Keun Lim, Jong Soo Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1990;33(10):1418-1422.   Published online October 31, 1990
Transverse myelopathy is characterized by a sudden onset of motor weakness and sensory loss on the distribution under the affected spinal cord level. And slso, autonomic nerve functions may be disturbed at the same time. The etiology is still unknown. But it is thought that numerous conditions and diseases are associat- ed with it. We experienced 3 cases of transverse myelopathy preceded by Korean hemorrhagic...
A Case of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in Identical Twin.
Wea Kyoung Shin, Hae Young Lee, Hwang Min Kim, Jae Seung Yang, Baek Keun Lim, Jone Soo Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1990;33(10):1399-1405.   Published online October 31, 1990
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a common genetically transmitted disorder characterized by asymmetric septal hypertrophy and systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve. We have recently experienced identical twin with the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy confirmed by M-mode and 2-D echocardiography. It is the first report of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in identical twin in Korea. So presented this case with a review of referential literatures.
A case of Asphyxiating Thoracic Dystrophy.
Hyung Goo Cho, Hwang Min Kim, Jae Seung Yang, Jong Soo Kim, Whi Yul Cho, So Young Jin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1990;33(9):1294-1300.   Published online September 30, 1990
Asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy, a rare form of bony dysplasia, is characterized by extreme constriction of thorax, short limbed dwarfism, abnormalities of pelvic bone in neonatal period, and progressive interstitial nephritis in childhood. The incidence of this syndrome has been estimated at 1 per 100,000 to 130,000 live births and more than 100 patients have been reported worldwide. Infants with asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy usually have...
A Case of Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation (Type1) of the Lung.
Dong Sik Kim, Hwang Min Kim, Jae Seung Yang, Baek Keun Kim, Jong Soo Kim, Dong Hwan Shin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1990;33(6):830-834.   Published online June 30, 1990
A rare form of congenital cystic lung disease, characterized by the presence of one or usually multiple interconnecting cyst, is called congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung. This disease almost invariably presents either in live premature or stillborn infants, and death in those infants bom alive usually occurs within a few hours of birth. Infants with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation usually have tachypnea,...
