Eui Jeong Min, Dae Hyun Lim, Jung Hee Kim, Seung Won Choi, Byong Kwan Son
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(8):1149-1152.   Published online August 15, 2000
Fixed drug eruption normally presents as single or multiple sharply demarcated erythematous lesions that recur at the same location upon re-exposure to the offending agent. When the acute inflammation subsides, it often leaves residual hyperpigmentation. Commonly implicated substances are phenolphthalein, barbiturates, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, salicylates, gold and pyrazolone derivatives. Despite frequent use of acetaminophen, drug eruptions, especially fixed drug eruptions, due...

Soo Young Lim, Hwa Jeong Lee, Seung Hee Mok, Heui Jeong Kwon, In Sil Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(6):746-751.   Published online June 15, 1994
The efficacy of acetaminophen, sponging plus acetaminophen, and sponging alone as method of lowering body temperature was compared in 108 children aged 8 weeks to 5 years who presented with an axillary temperature of 38.5C or greater during the period from January 1993 to April 1993. The following results were obtained. 1) The male to female ratio was 2.5:1 and clinical diagnosis...
