There is suggestive evidence that natural history of urinary tract infection (UTI) in male children differs from that of the disease in female children. We have studied sex and age differences of etiologic organism in 257 patients with UTI who were admitted to the Department of Pediatrics Hanyang University Hospital from January 1978 toDecember 1985. All patient had the positive urine culture and a... |
Urinary tract infection (UTI) in children is relatively common infectious disease and it may be the forerunner of severe renal diseases in adulthood. The site of infection is an important factor in the evaluation of the clinical course, treatment and prognosis of patients with UTI, because patients with bacteriuria of renal origin (pyelonephritis) are probably at risk of developing the renal parenchymal reduction seen... |

Herpes simplex virus infection in the newborn is generally thought to be associated with a grave prognosis in terms of mortality and severe neurologic sequelae among survivors. Most neonatal herpes infection are due to type 2 herpes virus hominis, acquired either by ascending infection from the mother’s genital area to the intrauterine infant after premature rupture of membrame, or by... |

A calyceal diverticulum, relatively rare lesion, is a cystic urine-containing cavity within the renal parenchyma, which is lined by transitional epithelium and communicates with the pelvis or a calyx through a narrow channel. Usually, they are asymptomatic and frequently discovered incidentally during radiological studies for other conditions. Three cases of calyceal diverticulum were presented, which were detected incidentally during intravenous pyelography... |

Bacterial infection is a frequent and important cause of morbidity and mortality in the neonatal period. Knowing the changing pattern of neonatal bacterial infections is important and recently the group B streptococcus has been vieing with Coliforms for preeminence. This study was undertaken to observe the pattern of bacteria in the neonatal infections and for detection of group B streptococcus.... |
Urinary tract infection (UTI) represents the most common genitourinary disease in children and are the second most common infection in children. Besides, they are potentially dangerous not only because may present as life-threatening episodes with serious prognosis, but also because may be the forerunners of severe renal disease of adulthood. So the importance at early diagnosis and investigation of apparently... |
The clinical and laboratory features of urinary tract infection in 93 infants and children who were admitted to the department of pediatrics of Eul Ji General Hospital during the period of Sept. 1979 through Aug. 1983 were observed. The results were as follows: 1)Of the 93 patients, 54 were male and 39 were female. Infants aged 1 to 12 months... |
May investigators suggested that The measurement of CSF enzyme activity, especially those of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), are a helpful laboratory test for the diagnosis of CNS infections. 100 patients with epidemic encephalitis (Japanese encephalitis, 7 patients with bacterial meningitis, 6 patients with epilepsy and 11 patients without CNS diseases were subjected to this study. All patients... |
Bacterial infections, such as sepsis, meningitis, pneumonia and urinary tract infection are frequent causes of death during neonatal period. Further more clinical symptoms of neonatal infections are often quite vague and the illnesses unexpectedly progress rapidly. The causative organisms are detected with difficulty in many instances. Therefore a quick, simple and.reliable laboratory test is obviously needed for easy recognization of neonatal bacterial... |
The site of the infection is an important factor in the evaluation of the course and prognosis of patients with urinary tract infection (UTI) since patients with bacteriuria of renal origin are probably at risk of developing the renal parenchymal reduction seen in some of these patients. So direct and indirect methods have been developed to accomplish precise location of the... |

In urinary tract infection of childhood, the intravenous pyelogram is helpful in identifying gross malformations of urinary tract and appraising gross renal function. The voiding cystourethrogram evaluates configuration and function of the lower urinary tract and is most useful for delineating the presence and severity of vesicoureteral reflux. The intravenous pyelogram is suggested for every male patients with one documented... |
To contract the parasitic infection, the environmental factor is more important although the host defense mechanism must be considered. Though it is important to consider the physical conditions, social and economic conditions are most important factors. Now it has been reported that the parasitic infection rate has been on the decrease along with improvement of social and economic conditions. Parasitologic... |

Determination of the immunoglobulin M(IgM) in umbilical cord sera has been advocated as a screening test for intrauterine infection, since the IgM is produced by the fetus and is not transported across the placenta from mother. The low level of IgM in normal neonate is thought to reflect the infrequent encounter of antigenic stimuli by the futus, upon exposure to... |
