Kyoung Hee Han, Hye Jin Lee, Il-Soo Ha, Hee Gyung Kang, Hae Il Cheong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2016;59(Suppl 1):S1-S4.   Published online November 30, 2016

Congenital aniridia is a rare ocular malformation that presents with severe hypoplasia of the iris and various ocular manifestations. Most cases of congenital aniridia are known to be related to mutations in the paired box gene-6 (PAX6), which is an essential gene in eye development. Herein, we report a familial case of autosomal dominant congenital aniridia with four affected members...

A case of hemolytic uremic syndrome preceded by intussusception
Eun Young Ko, Joo Young Kim, Hye Jin Lee, Hyun Seung Lee, Ji Whan Han, Young Hoon Kim, Jin Tack Kim, Hae Il Cheong, Pil Sang Jang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2011;54(4):176-178.   Published online April 30, 2011

Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) is the most common cause of acute renal failure in young children. It is classically characterized by the triad of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and uremia. Further, not only is intussusception one of the differential diagnoses of HUS but it may also become a complication during disease progression. We report a case of HUS preceded by intussusception...

Utility of polymerase chain reaction(PCR) according to sampling time in CSF and stool specimens from patient with aseptic meningitis
Myo Jing Kim, Hye Jin Lee, Jung Mi Choi, Soo Jin Jung, Jae Won Huh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(7):745-750.   Published online July 15, 2006
Purpose : Enteroviruses are the most common cause of aseptic meningitis in patients of all ages. A definite diagnosis of enteroviral meningitis can be established by detection of virus directly in CSF specimens. But this is time-consuming and lacks sensitivity, so polymerase chain reaction(PCR) detecting of viral RNA in patient specimens such as CSF, stool has been demonstrated. But little...
Outbreak of Acinetobacter septicemia in a neonatal intensive care unit
Myo Jing Kim, Hye Jin Lee, Sang Hee Son, Jae Won Huh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(5):494-499.   Published online May 15, 2006
Purpose : Acinetobacter baumannii is increasingly recognized as an important cause of nosocomial infection, especially in neonatal intensive care units. But little is known about the clinical significance and hospital epidemiology of Acinetobacter species other than A. baumannii. The objective of this study is to describe the clinical characteristics and epidemiology of septicemia due to Acinetobacter species other than A....

Henoch-Sch nlein purpura(HSP) is one of the most common vasculitic diseases of childhood, referred to as a leukocytoclastic vasculitis affecting small vessels. Although HSP related gastrointestinal symptoms are seen in up to 80% of patients during acute illness, these symptoms are usually transient. However, some patients with HSP have gastrointestinal major surgical complications such as intussusception, bowel infarction, necrosis, stricture,...

Hye Jin Lee, Kyung Hyo Kim, Gyoung Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(4):482-490.   Published online April 15, 1996
Purpose : Pulmonary function test is an important diagnostic tool in neonatal intensive care. These tests provide a detailed assessment an infant's pulmonary status that can be used in several ways: to monitor the progression of lung disease, to streamline ventilator management, and to assess the infant's response to new treatments, such as surfactant replacement therapy or bronchodilator.

A Case of Meckel-Gruber Syndrome
Hye Jin Lee, Eun Ae Park, Gyoung Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(9):1299-1303.   Published online September 15, 1995
We report a case of male neonate that showed multiple congenital anomalies that could be designated as Meckel-Gruber syndrome. The principle signs of Meckel-Gruber syndrome are encephaolcelem, polydactly, and polycystic kidneys with normal karyotype. Due to rarity of the Meckel-Gruber syndrome, the cause was still unknown. At present, autosomal recessive is thought to be as one of the causes. This malformation...

Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a medical disorder characterized by a complex disorder of renal resistance to parathyroid hormone and the mechanism underlying the disease is still unclear. The autors described two cases of Pseudohypoparathyroidism in sibling, who had metabolic anomalies(hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia, high circulating immunoreactive PTH) and basal ganglia calcification. Bilateral basa ganglia calcifications, which was not visible on plain skull fim, was...
