| The immunotherapy has become a useful and effective method to treat allergic respiratory diseases. It is a logical assumption that immunotherapy produces symptom relief as a result of immunologically specific response. This study was performed to delineate the IgE, IgG and IgG4 responses to immunotherapy, and their relationships. We selected the six asthmatic children on immunotherapy with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dp). A set of samples from each... |

This regimen was repeated, if necessary, for one or two more courses. After... |
| The treatment of acute leukemia in childhood has been increasingly successful due to progression of chemotherapeutics and other supportive care. Improved survival rates in acute childhood leukemia have been associated with an increasing number of complications in the gastrointestinal tract. Typhlitis also known as ileocecal syndrome is a necrotizing inflammation of the cecum in leukemic patients on chemotherapy in the terminal stage of the... |

| Since the report of Dr. Cremer in the 1950s the effectiveness of phototherapy in the treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia has been demonstrated in many clinical trials and now become widely accepted as a routine therapeutic measure in most pediatric clinics. Considering the relatively high incidence of prematurity and neonatal jaundice especially in Asian countries, it is of great concern to... |
| We experienced three children with the biopsy proven minimal change nephrotic syndrome who had failed to respond to prednisolone, 60 mg/m2/d for 4 to 9 weeks due to concomittent administration of rifampin. Because rifampin is a known enzyme inducer of the liver like phenobarbital and dilantin which can increase the clearance of the other drugs such as steroid etc., rifampin were... |
