Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(1):72-78.   Published online January 15, 2002
Purpose : The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of the 99mTc-DMSA pinhole imaging by comparing the detection rate of cortical defects identified from planar and pinhole imaging. Methods : 99mTc-DMSA planar and pinhole imaging, voiding cystoureth-rogram(VCUG), renal ultrasonography were performed in 67 patients diagnosed with urinary tract infection at the Department of Pediatrics, Sung-Ae General Hospital, from September, 1999 to...
Early Diagnosis of Rifampin-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis by Gene Analysis of RNA Polymerase B Subunit
Ki Seok Park, Nam Soo Park, Eun Ryoung Kim, Seok Ho Choi, Hyun Phil Cho, Young Ho Moon, Il Soo Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(10):1403-1411.   Published online October 15, 1999
Purpose : The control of tuberculosis is seriously threatened worldwide by the recently emerging multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. As a result, early detection of drug resistant M.tuberculosis strain has become very important but conventional laboratory methods are time consuming and delayed results often affect patients adversely in controlling tuberculosis. The authors studied the usefulness of the line probe assay to determine...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(7):1008-1013.   Published online July 15, 1999
We experienced a case of split hand split foot(SHSF) anomaly in a male neonate who had a deficiency of the middle finger, syndactyly of the 1st and 2nd finger and a deep median cleft in both hands. He also had a deep median cleft between 2nd and 3rd toe, syndactyly of the 1st and 2nd, 3rd and 4th toe without...

Acute Renal Failure(ARF) Associated with Yersinia Pseudotuberculosis Infection Diagnosed by Polymerase Chain Reaction
Hyung Gyu Park, Byung Moon Ahn, Eun Ryoung Kim, Il Soo Kim, Jae Jong Kim, Sung Ok Kang, Han Ho Park, Ki Jeong Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(8):1162-1168.   Published online August 15, 1997
The clinical significance of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis(Y. pseudotuberculosis) has recently recognized in various part of the world because it can cause a wide range of clinical problems such as mesenteric lymphadenitis, septicemia, reactive arthritis, terminal ileitis, erythema nodosum and acute renal failure. we experienced a case of acute renal failure associated with Y. pseudotuberculosis infection. We applied a nested polymerase chain reaction method for rapid diagnosis...

Peripheral-Blood-Based PCR Assay to Identify Patients with Childhood Tuberculosis
Soo Sung Park, Byoung Moon Ahn, Eun Ryoung Kim, Il Soo Kim, Jae Jong Kim, Yu Jin Rha, Han Ho Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(6):841-849.   Published online June 15, 1997
Purpose : There is an urgent need for rapid and accurate diagnosis of childhood tuberculosis. Recently, developments in molecular biology have raised hopes about the possibilities of new strategies for tuberculosis diagnosis. Most of these methods have focused on the application of PCR to sputum samples from patients with suspected mycobacterial disease. We used a nested PCR to detect circuclating Mycobacterial tuberculosis DNA in...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(6):873-880.   Published online June 15, 1996
3p partial trisomy is a rare chromosomal anomaly. We experienced a case of 3p partial trisomy in a male neonate. It was diagnosed by clinical and chromosoaml study. He had multiple anomalies such as brachycephaly, wide open fontanelle, square face, hypertelorism, mongoloid palpebral fissure, micrognathia, low set malformed ear, bilateral cleft lip and palate, double outlet right ventricle, atrial septal defect,...

β2-Microglobulin is a Sensitive Marker for Predicting Renal injury in Childhood Urinary Tract Infection
Won Uk Lee, Byung Moon An, IL Soo Kim, Eun Ryoung Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(5):665-672.   Published online May 15, 1996
Purpose : Urinary tract infection(UTI) in children may be cause of end stage renal failure and hypertension. So, early detection of renal scar, vesicoureteral reflux(VUR) and anomaly, and proper management are important. We carried this study to observe the significance of 24 hours urine β2-microglobulin(β2-MG) for predicting renal injury and correlation of β2-MG with the grade of VUR. Methods : We...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1971;14(4):235-240.   Published online April 30, 1971
A case of bilateral polycystic kindney which cysts of liver and pancreas in 10 month-old girl is presented. She had abdominal- distention, fever, edema and urinary frequency which were progressively wrose and died from secondary infection of urinary tract, renal insufficiency and cardiac failure at 5 month after onset of symptoms. The diagnosis was made by autopsy.
