Mucocutaneous Lymph Node Syndrome: Report of one case complicated by gallbladder hydrops and diagnosed by ultrasound

A female patient with mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome is presented. During the course of her illness, she developed acute abdominal pain secondary to hydrops of gallbladder. The diagnosis was facilltated by ultrasound. We managed her conventionally without surgical intervention. It is interesting that the age of patients complicated by gallbladder hydrops is high compared with the age frequency of MCLS. Related literatures are briefly reviewed.

Statistical Observation for Pediatric Inpatients: Second report statistically analyzed for the patients admitted to the pediatric department of 24 hospitals in Korea

This is the clinical statistics concerning the admitted patients observed in the pediatric department of 24 university hospitals and general training hospitals in Korea during the past 3 years from Jan. 1976 to Dec. 1978.All the patients were classified by year and disease according to international classification of disease by W.H.O.(1965 Revision). The results obtained were as follows: 1. Total number of patients during 3 years were 64,864, of which 18,085 were in 1976,22,084 in 1977 and 24,693 in 1978 with about 10% increment every year. 2. Infectious and parasitic disease were the most frequent, 20,737 cases(31.97%) followed by respiratory tract disease,15,917 cases(24.54%) and neonatal disease, 6,388 cases(11.44%) 3. Ten major leading causes of hospitalization were pneumonia(12.7%),diarrheal disease (9.4%), hyperbilirubinemia and postmaturity, upper respiratkory tract infection, immaturity acute bronchitis and bronchiolitis, infectious hepatitis, nephritis,convulsion, and intestinal obstruction in the order of frequency

The Statistical Observation for Pediatric Inpatients

Statistical analysis according to W.H.O. classification for the patients admitted to 11 hospitals during the years of Jan. 1974 to Dec. 1975 was made. The result obtaind were as follows: 1) Total No. of patients were 15,885 2) Infections and parasitic disease were the most frequent, 4655 cases (29.3%) and respiratory tract disease the next, 3,516 cases(22.13%) 3) Major leading causes of hospitalization were pneumonia, 12.5% of all patients, ingectious diarrhea, hyperbilirubinemia and postmaturity, prematurity, upper respiratory tract infection nephritis and bronchiolitis in order of incidence.

Study on the frequency distribution of the metacercarial density of Clonorchis sinensis in fish host, Pseudorasbora parva

Since the pattern of the frequency distribution of a parasite within a host showed an overdispersed pattern, various statistical models such as Poisson, negative binomial and lognormal distributions have been applied on the population dynamics in host-parasite relations. The observed data on the number of metacercariae of Clonorchis sinensis in a suitable intermediate host, Pseudorasbora parva which were collected from an endemic area, Juk-Rim River, Kim-Hae Goon, South Kyong-Sang Do were applied on the statistical models. The results obtained are as follows: By the calculation of the raw data, 258(94.9 percent) out of 272 fish showed positive to the metacercarial infection of C. sinensis. The mean number of metacercaria in a fish was 335.1. The standard deviation was 250.6 and the mode was observed between 250 and 299. The frequency distribution pattern of metacercariae of C. sinensis within the fish host in surveyed area was fitted to the lognormal distribution (0.05

Statistical Observation for Admitted Patients during the Years of 1974 to 1977 at Ped. Dept. of Han-Il Hospital

Statistical analysis according to W.H.O. classification for the patients admitted the Ped. Dept. of Han-Il Hospital was carried out during 4 years from Jan. 1974 to Dec. 1977. The following results were observed. 1. Total No. of patient during 4 years period were 1955, of which 1199 were male(61.33%, 756 were female(38.67%) and male to femal ratio was 1.57:1. 2. There was no significant variation. 3. According to age, preschool aged group as the most frequent group consistin of 488 cases(24.49%), school aged group and adolescent in the order of frequency. 4. On monthly distribution, there was no significant variation 5. Most frequent diseases in pediatric age group were respiratory tract one, 851 cases(39.29%) : infectious and parasitic ones, 553(25.53%) and neonatal disease, 204 cases(9.42%) in the order of frequency. 6. Among respiratory tract disease, pneumonia was the most frequent one, 587 cases(27.10%). 7. Among infectious and parasitic disease group, gastrointestinal infectious one was the most frequent, 224 cases(10.34%) : other viral disease and tuberculosis in the order of frequency. 8. Among neonatal diseases, prematurity was the most frequent one, 82 cases(3.79%).

A Case of Achondroplasia(Thanatophoric dwarfism)

We experienced a case of thanatophoric dwarfism with a relatively large head and shortened limbs. The diagnosis was confirmed by clinical features, radiologic examinations and autopsy. A review of literature was made briefly.
