Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis(ABPA) is an inflammatory disease which causes a hypersensitivity to Aspergillus spores growing in the bronchi. The clinical syndrome is characterized by asthma, recurrent pulmonary infiltrations or mucoid impaction, eosinophilia, and central bronchiectasis. A 12-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital because of right lower chest pain and cystic mass-like shadows on a chest X-ray film. He had... |

Toxic epidermal necrolysis(TEN) is a bullous disorder affecting mainly basal layers of epidermis by hypersensitive reaction. It is rarely reported in infants under six months of age. It can be developed by drug, infection, and vaccination, which makes it difficult to differentiate from staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome(SSSS) especially in early infancy. We report a case of TEN in a 6-week-old... |

Endoscopic balloon dilatation has provided a non-operative means of managing obstructive lesions in the gastrointestinal tract. In an infant with idiopathic hypertrophic pyloric stenosis(IHPS), the stenosis was successfully dilated with endoscopic balloon dilatation. Endoscopic balloon dilatation was performed using a 9mm endoscope and through-the-scope(TTS) balloon catheter (diameter 10 to 12mm). Dilatation was performed two times for 5 minutes. The 9mm... |

Purpose : Leptin is a protein encoded by the ob gene that is expressed in adipocytes. It regulates eating behavior by the action to the satiety centers in the hypothalamus. In ob/ob mouse, adipocytes can not produce leptin because of a mutation in the ob gene which results in obesity. Whereas, leptin concentrations were elevated in obese adults, and leptin... |

It is generally agreed that theophylline preparations and steroids should be given intravenously for
status asthmaticus. Theophylline can potentially have adverse gastrointestinal effects including
abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and hematemesis. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients
treated with corticosteroids without a past history of upper gastrointestinal bleeding has been
reported rarely. But the etiologic significance of the stress of status asthmaticus, administration of
