Yoo-Na Kim, Su Jeong You
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2012;55(4):147-150.   Published online April 30, 2012

Acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE) may be suspected when a young child presents with abrupt onset of altered mental status, seizures, or both. Definitive clinical diagnosis is based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results. ANE is associated with influenza virus infections. Preliminary data suggests that up to 25% of ANE patients die, and up to 25% of ANE survivors develop substantial...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(7):723-730.   Published online July 15, 2005
Purpose : This study was performed to characterize the etiology and clinical features of acute viral lower-respiratory tract infections(LRI). Methods : Etiologic agents and clinical features of acute viral LRI were studied from October. 2003 through March. 2004 in hospitalized children with LRI(253 cases) at Samsung Cheil Hospital. The viruses were identified by indirect immunofluorescent method. Medical records of patients with...
Epidemiology and Clincal Analysis of Acute Viral Respiratory Tract Infections in Children(September, 1998-May, 2003)
Su-Jin Lee, Eon-Woo Shin, Eun-Young Park, Phil-Soo Oh, Kwang-Nam Kim, Hae-Sun Yoon, Kyu-Man Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(3):266-275.   Published online March 15, 2005
Purpose : Acute respiratory tract infections are the most common illnesses in children. The great majority of these infections involving lower respiratory tracts infections(LRTIs) are caused by respiratory viruses such as respiratory syncytial virus(RSV), parainfluenza virus(PIV), influenza virus (Flu), and adenovirus(ADV), etc. Our purpose was to determine seasonal epidemiology and clinical characteristic features of each viral infection. Methods : Nasopharyngeal aspirate(NPA)s...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(12):1519-1527.   Published online December 15, 2002
Purpose : Although influenza virus is one of the most important causes of acute respiratory tract infections(ARTIs) in children, virus isolation is not popular and there are only a few clinical studies on influenza in Korea. We evaluated the epidemiologic and clinical features of ARTIs by influenza virus in children. Methods : From February 1995 to August 2001, nasopharyngeal aspirations were...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(12):1558-1568.   Published online December 15, 2000
Purpose : The purpose of the study is to understand the etiology and clinical features of severe acute viral lower respiratory tract infection(LRI), especially in conjunction with the use of ventilator care and/or with bronchiolitis obliterans. Methods : Etiologic agents and clinical features of severe acute viral LRI were studied from July 1998 through June 1999 in children at Asan Medical...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(12):1623-1631.   Published online December 15, 1998
Purpose : Although annual epidemics occur, there are only a few clinical studies on influenza in Korea. We evaluated the epidemic and clinical features of acute lower respiratory tract infections in children by influenza virus. Methods : From Feb., 1995 to July, 1997, influenza virus isolations and clinical review were performed on hospitalized children with acute lower respiratory tract infections at...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(8):1071-1080.   Published online August 15, 1997
Purpose : This is to analyze epidemic and clinical features of acute respiratory tract infections(ALRTI) by respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) and parainfluenza virus(PIV), which are considered to be the major respiratory pathogens in children. Methods : Nasopharyngeal aspirates were collected from 515 patients with ALRTI hospitalized at Hangang Sacred Heart Hospital between Apr. ’94 and Oct. ’96. Nasopharyngeal aspirates were inoculated to...
Etiology and Clinical Features of Acute Viral Lower Respiratory Tract Infection in Apparently Healthy children

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(12):1690-1699.   Published online December 15, 1996
Purpose : Acute lower respiratory tract infections(LRIs) are an important cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality. Causes of acute LRI in infants and children include bacteria, mycoplasma and respiratory viruses. Understanding of the epidemiology, etiology and clinical features of acute viral LRI is essential to improve the methods of prevention, diagnosis and management of these infections. Methods : Viral etiologic agents and clinical features of...
