Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(4):395-400.   Published online April 15, 2005
Purpose :Rotavirus is one of the most important causes of nosocomial infections among children. The aim of this study is to determine the risk of nosocomial rotavirus infections and to evaluate the effectiveness of breast-feeding and probiotics in the prevention of nosocomial rotavirus infections. Methods : This study was carried out on admitted children without diarrhea between March 1, 2003 and...

Hye Jung Kwon, So Youn Kim, Chang Yee Cho, Young Youn Choi, Jong Hee Shin, Soon Pal Suh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(6):719-726.   Published online June 15, 2002
Purpose : Neonates in neonatal intensive care units(NICU) have a high risk of acquiring nosocomial infection because of their impaired host defence mechanism and invasive procedures. Nosocomial infection result in considerable morbidity and mortality among neonates. This study was carried out to survey both the epidemiology of nosocomial infection in our NICU and the annual trends of pathogens. Methods : We...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(4):466-471.   Published online April 15, 1998
Purpose : Enterobacter is one of the important organisms in neonatal intensive care unit. We reviewed the clinical characteristics, underlying diseases, invasive procedures during admission, mortality and antibiotic sensitivity of Enterobacter infection in NICU. Methods : We retrospectively reviewed 21 neonatal patients whose blood cultures yielded Enterobacter between June 1994 and June 1997 at Dongguk University Hospital. Results : Blood cultures were positive in 62...

Kil Soo Joung, Jae Kook Cha, Kon Hee Lee, Hye Sun Yoon, Wonkeun Song
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(11):1537-1543.   Published online November 15, 1997
Purpose : We evaluated the identification and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of nosocomial and community-acquired pathogens in children of the medium-sized hospital. Methods : The 357 bacterial strains isolated from Pediatric department of Dongsan Sacred Heart Hospital were examined the species identification and antimicrobial susceptibility test during the period of March to October 1996. Results : Fifty three strains(15%) of 357 strains were nosocomial pathogens. A...

W P Chung, T W Paik, C M Kang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1986;29(4):394-400.   Published online April 30, 1986
The study was carried out on 227 diarrhea patients to determine the etiology and epidemiology and on 18 patients who developed diarrhea 72 hours following admission to determine the nosocomial acquisition of HRV. The HRV antigen was determined by ELISA. The HRV antigen study was also done on 21 pediatric house staffs and nurses who were taking care of these patients...
