Watson-Alagille syndrome is a kind of familial intrahepatic biliary atresia associated with charac- teristic face and cardiovascular anomaly. Growth and developmental delay, anomalies of the eyes such as posterior embryotoxon, deformities of the skeletal system are often the manifestations of this syndrome. We experienced three cases of Watson-Alagille syndrome recently. These patients showed charac- teristic faces and had peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis diagnosed by pulmonary...

Ki Won Park, Kyeong Choi, Young Youn Choi, Tai Ju Hwang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(9):1223-1230.   Published online September 30, 1991
An accurate and rapid diagnostic test is essential in the management of bacterial infection in neonates because they lack specific symptoms and the bacterial infections in neonates tends to have rapid progression and poor prognosis. As for the method, APR (acute phase reactants), a score measuring C-reactive protein (CRP), 상racid glycoprotein (이-AG) and Haptoglobin (Hp) by latex agglutination seems to be one of promising methods. In...

Nonimmune hydrops fetalis is defined as a pathologic and generalized abnormal accumulation of serous fluid in the entire body tissues and cavities unassociated with erythroblastosis. After the licensing of Rh Immune Prophylaxis (1968), the incidence of classic erythroblastosis fetalis has declined dramatically but the proportion of nonimmune types has increased relatively. With increasing use of ultrasound as a part of routine obstetric care, fetal...
