The site of the infection is an important factor in the evaluation of the course and prognosis of patients with urinary tract infection (UTI) since patients with bacteriuria of renal origin are probably at risk of developing the renal parenchymal reduction seen in some of these patients. So direct and indirect methods have been developed to accomplish precise location of the... |
Although fever is one of the most common symptoms seen in the pediatric field, we often have met problems in diagnosis and treatment because the etiology is sometimes obscure.

Final diagnosis of patients... |
The nephrotic syndrome is characterized by generalized edema, hypoproteinemia (serum albumin; below 2.5 gm/dl), hyperlipidemia (serum cholesterol; above 220 mg/dl), massive proteinuria (2.0 gm/M2/24 hrs or more). For causes of hyperlipidemia, decreased plasma lipoprotein lipase activity and decreased serum albumin have been postulated as contributing factors. So the serum lipids and lipoproteins were studied in 24 patients with nephrotic syndrome... |
Herpes zoster is a acute viral infection which is characterized by localized vesicles.'along the course of the sensory nerve distribution of dorsal root ganglia and more frequent and severe in immunosuppressants treated patients or patients with cancer.

Serum ferritin, iron, and total iron binding capacity were measured in 47 patients who were admitted to Hanyang University Hospital under the diagnosis of acute infectious hepatitis(excluding HBsAg positive patients) from September 1980 to March 1981. At the same time, serum transminase were estimated as indicator of liver function. Then we evaluated the relationship between serum ferritin, iron, and iron... |
