Serum IgE Levels in Bronchiolitis Patients.
Seong Hee Choi, Keun Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1989;32(6):749-755.   Published online June 30, 1989
Bronchiolitis is a virus.caused lower respiratory disease resulting from inflammatory obstruction of the small airways. The condition may develop to asthma anddifferential diagnosis is not clearcut between two diseases during infancy. Measurement of the serum IgE concentration has been used as an aid in the differential diagnosis. The purpose of this study is to compare the serum IgE levels between control groups and bronchiolitis patients,...

Hye Ran Byun, Hye Won Lee, Keun Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1989;32(3):390-395.   Published online March 31, 1989
The incidence of atopic disease has increased in recent years and its symptom begins early in life, in many cases during the first year. It is desirable, therefore, to predict the development of atopic disease early in infancy, preferably in neonatal period, so that it can be prevented or, at least, lessened in symptoms by proper management. One hundred and two fullterm newborn...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1989;32(1):45-51.   Published online January 31, 1989
Uninary tract infection as one of the common infectious disease all through the childhood and can be the cause of febrile illnesses. During infancy, the diagnosis of UTI is easily overooked because of relative lack of charateristic urinary symptoms. But UTI was found to cause longterm sequelae more often in infancy than later. We studied 258 cases of febrile infants and 345 cases of...

Gastroesophageal reflux defined as a dysfunction of the distal esophagus is a major cause of recurrent vomiting and failure to thrive in newborns and young infants. In infants, the differentiation between pathologic, pernicous vomiting and normal “burping” with regurgitation has been difficult until the far advanced complications of weight loss, failure to thrive, anemia from ulcerating esophagitis, or stricutre have been obvious. A number of...

Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia due to ABO Incompatibility was contributed to Kemicterus in our country. We studied the difference between ABO compatible group and incompatible group, such as, day of appearance of Hyperbilirubinemia, tendency of bilirubin concentration change, reticulocyte, hemoglo- bin, and duration of Hyperbilirubinemia. As a result, clinical symptoms were more severe in incom- patible group rather than compatible group. And so, we stress to early diagnosis...

Hye Ran Byun, Kyung Ha Ryu, Soon Hee Kim, Moon Ja Kim, Keun Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1987;30(12):1452-1455.   Published online December 31, 1987
Isoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura is an uncommon cause of purpura in the newborn infant, caused by fetal-maternal platelet incompatibility. The maternal isoantibodies against fetal platelet antigens, which are lacked in mother’s platelets, cross placenta and cause destructions of baby’s platelet. A bady bom with IITP was diagnosed in the first day of life and treated successfully with platelet concentrate of mother’s blood.

In clinical practice, creatinine clearance(Ccr) remains the most commonly used laboratory assessment of glomerular function despite methodological and technical problems of urine collection. Schwartz et al. in 1976，reported that an accurate estimate of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) could be obtained from the simple determinations of plasma creatinine (Per) and body length(L):GFR(ml/min/1.73cm2)=k• L(cm)/Pcr(mg/100ml), (k=constant). The purpose of this investigation is to compare...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1985;28(11):1066-1072.   Published online November 30, 1985
Prostaglandins play an important role in mediating uterine contractions and thus may also be involved in the triggering of premature labor and spontaneous abortion. Consequently inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis has been suggested as a potential means of inhibiting premature labor. There are many controlled studies which have described the use of indomethacin for inhibition of premature labor with success. But...
