RESUMEN
Wilson's disease is an autosomal recessive disorder affecting copper transport; it results in the accumulation of copper in the liver, brain, and other organs. Wilson's disease is the most common inherited liver disease with more than 500 cases reported in Korea. An impairment in biliary excretion process leads to copper accumulation in the liver, which progressively damages the liver, leading to cirrhosis. Since effective treatment is available for this disease, early and correct diagnosis is very important. Here, we report a case of Wilson's disease with mildly elevated liver enzyme levels in a 29-year-old breast-feeding woman with weight loss.

Infectious diseases imported from other countries have increased. Feco-oral route is the most common mode of transmission for both typhoid fever and hepatitis A, and thus infection by these agents have an association with poor sanitation. A 30-year-old male was visited to the hospital because of high fever after traveling in Thailand. The level of hepatic transaminases were mildly elevated and viral serological marker for hepatitis was negative. The blood culture was reported positive for Salmonella typhi. After a few days, the level of hepatic transaminases rapidly increased and viral serological marker for hepatitis became positive with anti-hepatitis A viral IgM at follow-up. Therefore we report a case of co-infection of S. typhi and viral hepatitis A after traveling abroad.

Rhadomyosarcoma of prostate is relatively rare, malignant tumor in urologic field. This tumor is believed to arise from primitive mesenchymal cells and the growth usually protrudes into the bladder and urethra causing obstruction with urinary retention. The excretory urogram and cystourethrogram demonstrate the displacement of the bladder and elongation of posterior urethra. Current treatment of this tumor consists of surgery, irradiation, and combination chemotherapy. Despite above mentioned treatment, the prognosis of prostatic rhabdomyosarcoma is usually poor. We are presenting a case of embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma in 15-year old boy with the review of articles.
