Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease(KFD), also known as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, is a self-limited systemic illness and it has the pathognomonic histological appearance of lymph nodes. KFD is rarely associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The diagnosis of KFD can precede, postdate or coincide with the diagnosis of SLE. Our case describes a young woman, originally diagnosed as having Kikuchi's disease by lymph... |

Tyrosinemia type 1 is an autosomal recessive inborn error of tyrosine metabolism that caused a mutation in the gene coding for the enzyme fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase(FAH). As a result, maleylacetoacetate(MAA) and fumarylacetoacetate(FAA) are formed. The accumulated FAA is converted into succinylacetone(SA) and succinylacetoacetate(SAA) which are excreted in urine. The first report with typical clinical and biochemical findings was presented by Sakai... |

Apert's syndrome(acrocephalosyndactyly) is a rare congenital anomaly that is characterized by the combination of premature fusion of multiple cranial sutures primarily involving the coronal suture and severe symmetrical syndactyly of fingers and toes. Some patients of this syndrome have various abnormalities of the central nervous system. We experienced a case of Apert's syndrome with craniofacial malformations, symmetric syndactyly, occipital encephalocele... |

Acute scrotal disorders(ASD) in neonates-especially the torsion of testes- are rare, and the clinical presentations are quite different from those of adolescents or adults. The neonates with ASD are generally afebrile and do not show typical symptoms. Early diagnosis and proper treatment of ASD are very important but the differentiation of torsion and orchitis is not easy in neonates. The... |

Septic pulmonary emboli(SPE) is derived from a variety of sources, including infected heart valves, peripheral sites of septic thrombophlebitis and infected venous catheters or pacemaker wires. In adult intravenous drug users, the most common cause of septic emboli is tricuspid valve endocarditis, but infective endocarditis in the non-complicated ventricular septal defect is a relatively rare condition in infants and... |

Acute focal bacterial nephritis(AFBN) is an unusual form of localized renal infection, which has various imaging findings and should be distinguished from abscess or other renal masses. Clinical symptoms are similar to other urinary tract infections but the diagnosis needs a CT or sonographic confirmation. Treatment, which is nonoperative, consists of intensive antibiotic therapy. We report three cases of AFBN... |

this reason, we reevaluated the conventional vaccination schedule by measuring measles antibody
level.
Two groups totalling 244 children were included in the study. The non-measles group consisted of
133 children who visited or were admitted to our hospital during the 7 month period from Jan. 1990

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) cause an acute cholera-like diarrhea in both human and
animals. The disease process involves colonization of the mucosal surfaces of the small intestine
followed by elaboration of ST and/or heat-labile enterotoxin (LT). Intestinal colonization by ETEC
is mediated by specific surface-associated fimbrial or fibrillar antigens including colonization factor
antigens (CFA) I and II.
Isolates of E. coli from 114 children with... |

cord and of motor nuclei in the brain stem, which is clinically characterized by fasciculations of the
tongue, paradoxical respiration, bell shaped thorax, frog-leg posture and intact mentality.
