Purpose : Meconium is a complex mixture with a potential variable composition, it is
difficulty to determine which components of meconium are responsible for the surfactant inhibition. We previous reported that Surfactant-TA and Exosurf almost completely inhibited the growth of Haemophilus influenzae at the concentration of 100% without apparent difference in the efficiency.In this study, We have determined the effect of... |

The aim of this study was to determine the applicability of reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction(RT/PCR) for routine diagnostic use and for the detection of enteroviral mentigitis, Primers were selected in the highly conserved part of the 5'-non-coding region of the enteroviral genome. Enteroviral RNA was detected by the RT/PCR in routinely collected cerebrospinal fluids(CSF) of patients with aseptic... |

Almost of all patients with neurofibromatosis type I show caf6-au-lait macules on their skin.
These macules are thought to be early sign of neurofibromatosis in childhood.
We experienced a case of neurofibromatosis type I in a 10-year-old-boy who did not have
caf6-au-lait macules, but progressive psychomotor retardation, short attention span, hyperactivity
and megalencephaly. The brain C-T findings showed diffuse cerebromalacia and ventriculomegaly.
We confirmed the... |

The mega cistema magna is a congenital developmental malformation. The size of the cistema
magna and the criterion of the mega cistema is still debatable. A clinical study had been performed
on 12 children with mega cistema magna diagnosed by computed tomography scan from January 1980
to December 1990.
The results are summarized as follows:
1) Among 4900 consecutive unselected computed tomography scans, twelve cases with... |

A short umbilical cord is defined as 35 cm or less, whereas a long cord is 80 cm or more.
Short umbilical cords have been associated with a delay in the second stage of labor, irregular fetal
heart tones, placental abruption, rupture of the umbilical cord, inversion of the uterus, birth asphyxia,
umbilical hernia and long umbilical cord have been associated more frequently... |

Congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasis is a rare abnormality usually becoming manifest at birth
and almost invariably fatal in neonatal period or early infancy. Chylothorax is an infrequent
manifestation of this disease. We report a patient with pulmonary lymphangiectasis, 3 year old male,
who had been suffered from persistent respiratory distress since 7 days after birth, in whom the
diagnosis was suggested by the appearance of... |

The authors experienced three cases of scalded skin syndrome; which diagnosis were
confirmed by characteristic clinical manifestation, tissue culture and histopathological
findings of tissue biopsied.
Two of three cases were drugs induced and other one was caused by staphylococcus
aureus phage H.
These cases were completely recovered with systemic and local supportive therapies.
The authors presented these cases and reviewed the referential literature on the scalded
vskin... |
