Kawasaki disease, also known as mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome, is a common form of vasculitis in childhood. Among the recent trends it notable that prevalence rate increasing, and proportion “incomplete” disease increasing. A delayed diagnosis with prolonged fever can cause complications, such coronary artery aneurysm decreased myocardial contractility. These complications might lead to significant morbidity mortality. diagnosed when patient meets principal criteria for clinical...
We aimed to evaluate the utility of serum ferritin level as an early screening test Kawasaki disease with macrophage activation syndrome (KD-MAS). analyzed levels on first day admission and clinical progress patients diagnosed complete or incomplete KD. Of 158 patients, 5 were KD-MAS. Conjunctival injection was significantly more frequent in KD group (p = 0.035), although there no significant differences other features. On admission, KD-MAS >500 ng/mL, which higher than that 0.001). In...
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether infants with rhinovirus (RV) infection-induced wheezing and those respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) have different cytokine profiles in the acute stage.Of lower tract infection (LRTI) between September 2011 May 2012, 88 were confirmed using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction hospitalized. Systemic interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin (IL)-2, IL-12, IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, Treg-type (IL-10) responses examined multiplex assay phase serum...
Background: The decision to use transannular patching (TAP) during tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair depends on the pulmonary valve annulus size; <i>z</i> score is most commonly used predictor. However, definitive results are not obtained with scores as different data sets for parameters.Purpose: This study aimed identify echocardiographic and other key factors that warranted a change in surgical method TOF surgery.Methods: Sixty-two patients were enrolled divided into (PV)...
Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is part of the recommended treatment Kawasaki disease (KD). Controversies remain regarding optimal dose ASA. We aimed to evaluate impact different doses ASA on inflammation control while minimizing adverse effects in acute phase KD.The enrolled 323 patients with KD were divided into three groups according dose: moderate-dose (30-50 mg/kg/day), high-dose (80-100 and non-ASA.High-dose group showed a significantly shorter duration fever from start remission than other...
Herein we investigate the difference between Kawasaki disease (KD) with and without a recent history of SARS-CoV-2 infection.We compared clinical characteristics patients KD during pandemic in single children's hospital Korea. Fifty-two were enrolled divided into group 1 (with COVID-19, n = 26) 2 (without according to whether or not they contracted COVID-19 within 8 weeks before hospitalization. Data, including features laboratory results, analyzed groups.The median age was significantly...
Purpose Nocturnal enuresis (NE) is one of the most common problems in childhood. NE has a multifactorial etiology and influenced by sleep arousal mechanisms. The aim present study was to prospectively evaluate patterns children with compared normal healthy controls. Methods Twenty-eight 16 controls were included study. To habits disturbances, parents filled out questionnaire that items about sleep-related behaviors prior treatment for NE. Demographic factors other data two groups based on...
There are few studies on the effect of intensivist staffing in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) Korea. We aimed to evaluate treatment outcomes a Korean hospital PICU.We analyzed two time periods according staffing: period 1, between November 2015 January 2017 (no staffing, n=97) and 2, February 2018 (intensivists n=135).Median age at admission was 5.4 years (range, 0.7-10.3 years) 1 3.6 (0.2-5.1 2 (P=0.013). The bed occupancy rate decreased (75%; 73%-88%) compared (89%; 81%-94%;...
Background: The Act on Life-Sustaining Treatment (LST) for patients at the end of life (the Korean LST Decision Act), implemented in Republic Korea February 2018, has led to changes end-of-life decision-making (EOLDM) process children. This study aimed investigate pediatric EOLDM and practices since Act. Methods: retrospective cohort included 107 who died Kyungpook National University Children’s Hospital from January 2015 December 2020. Patients were divided into two groups: pre-law (January...
With the increasing use of laundry detergent pods (LDPs) in Korea, pediatricians and emergency physicians should recognize risk poisoning by ingestion pods. This report describes a 15-month-old boy who ingested an LDP at home. At time hospitalization, he was alert hemodynamically stable. However, 3 hours after ingestion, developed drowsiness, respiratory distress, metabolic acidosis. Despite initial supportive therapy, acidosis worsened, requiring continuous renal replacement therapy....
목적: 이번 연구의 목적은 human parechovirus (HPeV)로 유발된 패혈증 의증을 보였던 3개월 미만의 영아를 대상으로 임상적 특징 및 경과를 조사하는 것이다. 방법: 2018년 7월 1일부터 8월 31일까지 의증으로 입원한 미만 영아들의 의무기록을 확인하였다. 환자들은 뇌척수액을 이용하여 역전사 중합효소 연쇄반응 검사를 시행하고 결과에 따라 HPeV 감염군(1군, 11명), 장바이러스 감염군(2군, 13명), 바이러스가 검출되지 않은 군(3군, 15명)으로 구분하였다. 결과: 1군은 빈맥, 빈호흡, 무호흡, 저혈압, 피부 변화를 보이는 환자가 2, 3군 보다 많았다(P<0.05). 또한 혈중 총 백혈구수가 다른 군에 비해 낮았다(5,622±2,355/μL, 9,397±2,282/μL and 12,312±7,452/μL, P=0.005). 뇌척수액 백혈구 수도 3군에 비하여 낮았다 (0.9±1.7/μL, 85.1±163.6/μL, 3.7±6.9/μL,...
Purpose Febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the commonest bacterial infections in children. The purpose this study to investigate clinical characteristics first episode febrile UTI occurring children over 5 years compared those infants younger than a year.
