Purpose : To evaluate the diagnostic reliability of the single serum titers of the specific serum antibody determiantion method, we compared antimycoplasma antibody titers of 177 healthy children with 353 children who had respiratory symptoms indicative of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Methods : We used Serodia-Myco II particle agglutination test and the titers of ≥1:40 were regarded as positive. Results : Age distribution of 177 healthy...

Soo Jin Kim, Soo Kyung Choi, Kyung Hee Park, Ghee Young Jung, Young Ok Lee

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(7):983-987. Published online July 15, 1995

Chéiak-Higashi syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterised by partial oculocutaneous albinism, frequent pyogenic infections and abnormal large lysosomal granules in leukocytes and other granule containing cells. We experienced a case of Chéiak-Higashi syndrome in a twenty days old male who show-ed partial albinism, recurrent infections and characteristic abnormal large granules in granuloc-ytes on peripheral blood smear and bone marrow...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(7):907-911. Published online July 31, 1991

Phenotypes and • gene frequencies in cord blood samples of 543 newborns were studied for Pi phenotypes for the purpose of estimating the risk of diseases associated with genetic deficiency of alpha-1 antitrypsin. Pi phenotypes were performed by polyacrylamide gel separator isoelectric focusing method. The allele frequencies obtained were as follows:'PiM!=0.7670, M2=0.1796 M3=0. 0506, G=0.0018,/P=0.0009. There were no alleles causing severe deficiency such as...
