Enterovirus infection in Korean children and anti-enteroviral potential candidate agents
Kwi Sung Park, Young Jin Choi, Joon Soo Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2012;55(10):359-366.   Published online October 29, 2012

Although most enterovirus infections are not serious enough to be life threatening, several enteroviruses such as enterovirus 71 are responsible for severe, potentially life-threatening disease. The epidemic patterns of enteroviruses occur regularly during the year, but they may change due to environmental shifts induced by climate change due to global warming. Therefore, enterovirus epidemiological studies should be performed continuously as...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(2):208-211.   Published online February 15, 2005
Primary lung cancer is unusual in children; the squamous cell variant is extremely rare. Lung cancer is classified by histologic types into small-cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung caner, carcinoid, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, and adenoid cystic carcinoma. Furthermore, non-small cell lung cancer is subclassified into adenocarcinoma, large-cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. The incidence of lung cancer is influenced by smoking,...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(10):1469-1473.   Published online October 15, 1996
The isolated fetal pleural effusion is rare and has no other signs of fetal hydrops. Its etiology is unknown but the most common cause is congenital chylothorax. We experienced a case of fetal pleural effusion diagnosed in the 35 weeks gestational age by antenatal ultrasonogram and antenatal diagnosis allowed early therapeutic intervention such as drainage of pleural fluid immediatly after birth. We diagnosed congenital chylothorax...

Castleman's disease(CD) is rare in childhood. It is defined as a localized nodal hyperplasia in mediastinum or cervical area. It is also called angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia, lymph nodal hamartoma, giant lymph node hyperplasia. It was first described in 1956 by Castleman et al. as a lesion of mediastinal mass. The etiology of CD is not clear. The histologic classification...

We have experienced in a 1-day old male neonate a typical case of cloacal exstrophy associated with omphalocele, genital anomaly, imperforated anus, meningocele, spina bifida, widely separated symphysis and equinovarus. A brief review of related literatures was made.
