Sun Jung Chang, Kyu Young Chae
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2010;53(10):863-871.   Published online October 31, 2010

The prevalence of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is approximately 3% in children. Adenotonsillar hypertrophy is the most common cause of OSAS in children, and obesity, hypotonic neuromuscular diseases, and craniofacial anomalies are other major risk factors. Snoring is the most common presenting complaint in children with OSAS, but the clinical presentation varies according to age. Agitated sleep with...

Prognostic Value of Repeated Cerebrospinal Latex Agglutination Testing in Bacterial Meningitis
Soo Jeong Lee, So Hyun Ahn, Su Jin Cho, Hae Soon Kim, Seung Joo Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2003;46(4):345-350.   Published online April 15, 2003
Purpose : Bacterial meningitis is a serious infection of childhood associated with a significant morbidity and mortality. Repeated cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) examination is a useful prognostic indicator and a delayed sterilization is associated with a higher incidence of neurologic abnormalities. In this study we tried to determine the prognostic value of repeated CSF latex agglutination testing. Methods : We retrospectively evaluated 19...

Ju Eun Lee, Su Eun Park, Sang Ook Nam, Hak Jin Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(6):798-805.   Published online June 15, 2000
Purpose : Periventricular leukomalacia(PVL) is associated with various neurologic sequelae such as cerebral palsy and cortical blindness. The aim of this study was to analyse the correlation between the degree of PVL on MRI and clinical features or its severity. Methods : Thirty-eight children with PVL on MRI among children brought to Pusan National University Hospital between January 1996 and August...

Sung Koo Kim, Ran Lee, In Kyu Lee, Ki Joong Kim, Young Seung Hwang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(2):267-273.   Published online February 15, 2000
Purpose : Seizures during the neonatal period may be an important indicator of serious neurologic abnormalities and can cause permanent neurologic sequelae. We attempted to find and analyze the factors related to the outcome of neonatal seizures. Methods : Seventy-six newborns with seizure were reviewed. The outcomes were analyzed according to etiologic diseases, gestational ages, characteristics of seizure, and neuroimaging and...

A case of Neurologic Sequelae and a Case of Peripheral Gangrene of Extremities Associated with Haemophilus influenzae Type b Meningitis
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(10):1429.   Published online October 15, 1995
Haemophilus influenzae type b(Hib) is one of the most common organisms causing bacterial meningitis in children aged between 2 months and 6 years. Since introduction of Hib vaccination, the mortality from Hib meningitis has fallen, but major neurologic sequelae, ie, mental retardation, seizure, blindness, and persistent motor deficits, are serious problems. Cerebral infarction was rarely complicated during the course of meninigitis...

Kap Seoung Kim, Yeo Joong Kim, Tai Ju Kwang, Chull Sohn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1985;28(1):40-44.   Published online January 31, 1985
To evaluate the effect of Epidemic Encephalitis vaccine, the authors compared vaccinated group with non-vaccinated group at the point of morbidity, sequelae and mortality in Cho- nnam area, 1982. 551,660 children(43.4%) out of the total 1,270,669 children who aged 3 to 15 year old were vaccinated, and vaccinated history was confirmed 179 only out of the total 647 Epide- mic Encephalitis patients. The results were summaried...
