Clin Exp Pediatr. 2015;58(6):211-217.   Published online June 22, 2015
Purpose

Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection is a major cause of respiratory infection in school-aged children. Extrapulmonary manifestations of MP infection are common, but liver involvement has been rarely reported. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical characteristics of MP-associated hepatitis.

Methods

This prospective study included 1,044 pediatric patients with MP infection diagnosed serologically with MP IgM at one medical center...

Min Jee Park, In-sang Jeon, Hann Tchah, Kang Ho Cho, Mi-Jin Jung, Deok Young Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2009;52(10):1161-1166.   Published online October 15, 2009
Purpose : Kawasaki disease—the most common cause of acquired heart disease in children—incidence is increasing yearly. Therefore, we evaluated the predictive indicators of coronary complications of Kawasaki disease based on clinical and laboratory data. Methods : Between January 2005 and March 2008, of the 201 children with Kawasaki disease treated at the Gil Hospital of Gachon University of Medicine and...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(8):832-838.   Published online August 15, 2005
Purpose : Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is relatively common in childhood. Its extrapulmonary manifestations have been reported so much, but hepatitis associated with it has been reported rarely in Korea. Methods : A clinical study was performed on 556 patients of M. pneumoniae pneumonia diagnosed serologically at Gil hospital from January 2001 to December 2004. We reviewed 65 cases among these patients,...
Colon Perforation during Air Enema Reduction of Intussusception
Yong Kuk Kim, Hae Ra Im, Gwang Hoon Lee, Soo Jin Han, Yong Han Sun, Eell Ryoo, Kang Ho Cho, Hann Tchah, Hak Soo Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2003;46(1):37-41.   Published online January 15, 2003
Purpose : Although air enema reduction has been known as a good method of diagnosis and treatment of intussusception, it could develop colon perforation. However, there have been few studies about this complication. So we analyzed the risk factors of colon perforation during air enema reduction in patients with intussusception. Methods : We reviewed the charts of 12 colon perforation patients...

Soo Jin Han, Soo Shin Cho, Kang Ho Cho, EeIl Ryoo, Gwang Hoon Lee, Ho Joon Im, Kye Hwan Seol, Gil Hyun Kim, Hak Soo Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(11):1243-1248.   Published online November 15, 2001
Purpose : Brainstem auditory evoked response(BAER) is used as screening test for hearing disorders, damages of the central nervous system and congenital anomalies. We studied the difference values according to gender and stimulation sites in normal full-term infants. Methods : We performed BAER in 38 male and 28 female normal full-term infants, delivered in the Gil Medical Center, Gachen Medical School,...

A Case of Saldino-Noonan Type Short Rib-Polydactyly Syndrome
Hye Young Han, Gwang Hoon Lee, Eell Ryoo, Kang Ho Cho, Mi Jin Jung, Gil Hyun Kim, Hak Soo Lee, Hyuni Cho
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(4):578-582.   Published online April 15, 2000
Short rib-polydactyly syndrome(SRPS) is a rare type of skeletal dysplasia characterized by short limb dysplasia, thoracic hypoplasia, polydactyly and multiple visceral anomalies. It is transmitted as a autosomal recessive trait. There have been 4 classic types of SRPS, of which Saldino-Noonan type is the most common, and is characterized by very narrow thorax, short limb, postaxial polydactyly, striking metaphyseal dysplasia...
Magnetic Resonance Angiography in One Case of Hydraencephaly
Eun Kyung Hwang, Kang Ho Cho, Gwang Hoon Lee, Gil Hyun Kim, Hak Soo Lee, Ji Hye Kim, Young Seok Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(4):538-542.   Published online April 15, 1998
In hydranencephaly, the cerebral hemispheres are absent or represented by membranous sacs with remnants of frontal, temporal or occipital cortex dispersed over the membrane. The brain stem is relatively intact. The cause of hydranencephaly is unknown, but bilateral occlusion of the internal carotid arteries during early fetal development can explain most of the pathologic abnormalities. We evaluated a case of hydranencephaly by magnetic resonance(MR)...
A Case of Alagille Syndrome
Eun Kyung Hwang, Gwang Hoon Lee, Eell Ryoo, Kang Ho Cho, Gil Hyun Kim, Hak Soo Lee, Ji Hye Kim, Sung Hae Park, Hee Sup Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(3):410-414.   Published online March 15, 1998
Alagille syndrome is characterized by chronic cholestasis, posterior embryotoxon, skeletal abnormalities, cardiovascular abnormalities, and a typical face with prominent forehead and pointed chin. Its histological feature includes paucity of interlobular bile ducts. We experienced a 49-day-old female infant presenting with frequent upper respiratory tract infection and persistent jaundice. She had a typical face and chronic cholestasis. Echocardiograms revealed peripheral pulmonary...
