Hye Young Kang, Kook In Park, Ran Namgung, Chul Lee, Chang Jun Coe, Dong Gwan Han, Tae Sub Chung, Woo Hee Jung
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(3):397-404.   Published online March 15, 1994
Functional brain imaging is very important in the diagnosis and evaluation of the various neurologic disorders. In addition to electroencephalography (EEG) and positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) have increasingly gained importance in determination of disturbances in regional brain functions. Both ictal and interictal Tc-99m hexamethyl-propyleneamine oxime single photon emission computed tomography (Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT) was done...

Hye Jung Joo, Seung Mo Park, Ran Namgung, Kook In Park, Jin Sung Lee, Chul Lee, Dong Kwan Han, Kir-Young Kim, Kwang-Hoon Lee, Kwang-Gil Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1993;36(11):1613-1620.   Published online November 15, 1993
Graft-versus-host disease is commonly observed after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation but rarely recognized transfusion or solid-organ transplantation. Transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease can occur in immunosuppressed recipients and immunocompetent transplant recipients. The clinical manifestations of gastrointestinal or hepatic dysfunction, rash and pancytopenia should heighten the physician's index of suspicion for GVHD. Among premature infants, only four cases have been reported to develop...

Neonatal herpes simplex virus infection still remains a life-threatening infection for the newborn. With an increasing incidence of genital herpes and an increase in the incidence of neonatal herpes simplex virus infections, it is important that pediatricians and neonatologists continue to maintain a high index of suspicion in infants whose symptoms may be compatible with herpes simplex virus infections so that early identification leads...
