Purpose : We investigated the risk of aspiration using the lipid-laden macrophage index(LLMI) from laryngeal lavages in infants with bronchiolitis.
Methods : Laryngeal lavages from 22 infants with acute bronchiolitis caused by respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) were evaluated during the acute stage. Repeat studies were performed at 3 to 4 weeks after the initial study(remission stage). Lavage cell counts and differentials were... |

Purpose : It is becoming generally recognized that wheezing in early childhood is a heterogeneous condition and does not always develop into asthma. This study aimed to determine characteristics of wheezing phenotypes in early childhood and investigate their relation to asthma.
Methods : Two hundreds and sixty 6-8 year old children with past or present wheezeing were enrolled, and their history... |

Purpose : It has been suggested that the exposure to aeroallergens during early infancy after birth is important in the subsequent development of sensitization and allergic diseases. In Korea, the level of house dust mites as one of the important aeroallergens is known to be the highest in autumn. The aim of this study was to test whether the distribution... |

Purpose : A new airway inflammatory marker, exhaled nitric oxide(ENO) has been reported to correlate with bronchial hyperresponsiveness(BHR) and atopy. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship of ENO with BHR or atopy in patients with asthma and with allergic rhinitis.
Methods : The subjects consisted of 55 children with asthma, 17 with allergic rhinitis, and 14 healthy... |

Purpose : Airway inflammation is considered to be a characteristic feature of asthma, and eosinophils are recognized as the most important inflammatory cells. This study aims to assess the importance of blood eosinophil count and serum eosinophil cationic protein(ECP) levels as a non- invasive marker of bronchial hyperresponsiveness(BHR) in children with suspected asthma.
Methods : This study used data from 87... |

Purpose : Several studies have shown that increases of eosinophil markers are common findings
of asthma and Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, and eosinophil markers reflect the clinical stage
of asthma. The purpose of this study was to investigate the change of eosinophil markers according
to the clinical stage of Mycoplasma pneumonia.
Methods : The patient group consisted of 33 outpatient children with Mycoplasma pneumonia. Peripheral
blood... |

Purpose : This study was aimed at finding a diagnostic tool which is useful in predicting the neurologic outcome of the asphyxiated newborns.
Methods : 31 newborns with asphyxia were evaluated by brainstem evoked potentials and cranial ultrasonography(CUS). During the neonatal follow-up, we evaluated the development of the babies with Bayley Scale of Infant Development II and INFANIB on corrected age... |
