RESUMO
This study included fifty two premature babies in whom EEG was performed at National Medical Center, from Jan. 1990 to Jun. 1991. clinical and EEG records of all subjects were analyzed and the following results were obtained. 1) The day of first EEG performed were;11 cases within 10 days, 20 cases from 11 days to days, 13 cases from 21 days to 30 days and 8 cases beyond 31 days. 2) The results of first EEG were; within normal limit in 34 cases, mild abnormality in 3 cases, moderate abnormality in 11 cases and marked abnormality in 4 cases. 3) The abnormal EEG ratio according to the sex was higher in female than in male (43.5% vs 27.6%). 4) The abnormal EEG ratio according to the gestational age was higher in shorter gestational age group than in longer gestational age group (40.9% under 32 weeks of G.A. vs 30.0% beyond 33 weeks of G.A.). 5) The abnormal EEG ratio according to the birth weight was not significant. 6) The abnormal EEG ratio according to the ventilator use was higher in used group than in not used group (38.5% vs 30.8%). 7) Combined diseases in 18 cases of abnormal EEG group were jaundice (14 cases), hyaline membrane disease (7 cases), asphyxia (4 cases), anemia (4 cases), hydrocephalus, sepsis, PDA, hypocalcemia, UTI and IVH. 8) The mean apgar score in abnormal EEG group was lower than normal EEG group both in one minute and five minute. 9) Two cases among 18 cases of abnormal EEG group showed abnormal brain sonographic findings, but one case among 34 cases of normal EEG group showed abnormal brain sonographic finding. 10) Ten cases were followed up with serial EEG, six cases of which were treated with anticonvulsant. We observed normalization of the EEG in 5 cases of anticonvulsant treated group.

A clinical study was made on 85 cases of prematurity under 37 weeks of gestational age who had history of blood transfusion during their admission at the National Medical Center from January 1989 to June 1992. The results were as follows: 1) Among 339 prematurity patients, 85 patients(25.1%) received blood transfusion once at least. 2) Male to female ratio was 1.13:1 and mean gestational age was 32.5 2.7weeks (range:25~36 weeks). 3) Most of blood transfusion(66/85 cases) were performed within first week of life. 4) 67 patients(78.8%) received blood transfusion 3 times or less. 5) Combined diseases were hyaline membrane disease(69.4%), jaundice(51.8%), sepsis(30.6%), PDA (14.1%), DIC (8.2%), pulmonary hemorrhage(7.1%), intraventricular hemorrhage (7.1%), pneumonia(7.1%) and hepatitis(4.7%). 6) Clinical manifestations at the time of blood transfusion were pallor (47.1%), decreased activity (44.7%), bradycardia (23.5%),apnea (21.2%), tachypnea (20.0%), lethargy (4.7%), poor weight gain (3.5%) and tachycardia (3.5%). 7) The values of hematocrit were significantly increased after transfusion(42.4 +/-7.2 vs 34.6 +/- 6.8vol%). 8) The episodes of bradycardia were significantly decreased after blood transfusion(0.09 +/- 0.39 vs 0.23+/- 0.78)while the episodes of apnea were not (0.15 +/-0.71 vs 0.27+/- 0.84).

Ninety two cases of culture proved neonatal sepsis who had been admitted to pediatric department, National medical Center, during 7 years from Jan. 1984 to Dec. 1990 were reviewed clinically and the following results were obtained. 1) The frequency of neonatal sepsis was 3.1% and male to female sex ratio was 1.9:1, Sepsis was more prevalent in premature infants (9.9%) than in full term infants (1.9%). 2) The seasonal incidence was more prevalent in summer (32.6%). 3) The weight distribution showed 50 cases with the weight less than 2500 gram and 42 cases more than 2500 gram. 4) In 76 cases the onset was before 7 days old and in 16 cases were developed after 7 days old. 5) The major associated perinatal conditions in neonatal sepsis were institutional baby (23.9%), premature rupture of membranes (11.9%) and placenta previa (4.3%) in the order of frequency. The clinical manifestations on admission were jaundice (50.0%), poor activity (46.7%), respiratory difficulty (35.9%), poor feeding (22.8%), cyanosis (22.7%), gastrointestional symptoms (21.5%), fever (15.2%) and convulsion (13.0%) in the order of frequency. 6) The associated diseases were urinary tract infection (31.5%), hyaline membrane disease (19.6%), congenital disorder (18.5%), pneumonia (15.2%), anemia (13.0%), meningitis (9.8%), omphalitis (7.6%), DIC (6.5%), necrotizing enterocolitis (5.4%) and intracranial hemorrhage (5.4%) in the order of frequency. 7) Causative organisms were gram positive organisms in 27 cases (25.7%) and gram negative organisms in 79 cases (74.3%). The main organisms were Serratia marcescens (18.5%). Enterobacter spp (17.4%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (12.0%), Staphylococcus aureus (10.9%), Acinetobactor calcoaceticus (8.7%), Coagulase (-) staphylococcus (8.7%), E. coli (8.7%), Enterococcus (6.5%), Group B beta-hemolytic streptococcus (5.4%) and Pseudomonas (5.4%) in the order of frequency. The sensitivity to antibiotics were: Serratia marcescens: 70.6% sensitive to Amikacin 58. 9% sensitive to Cefotaxime 59. Enterobacter spp: 87.5% sensitive to Amikacin 68.8% sensitive to Cefotaxime Klebsiella pneumoniae: 100% sensitive to Amikacin 91. 0% sensitive to Cefotaxime Staphylococcus aureus: 100% sensitive to Cefazolin 90. 0% sensitive to Cefotaxime Acinetobacter calcoaceticus: 88.9% sensitive to Amikacin Coagulase (-) Staphylococcus: 100% sensitive to Amikacin 87. 5% sensitive to Cefotaxime E. coli: 100% sensitive to Amikacin, Cefotaxime Enterococcus: 50% sensitive to Gentamicin, Ampicillin, Amikacin Group B beta-hemolytie Streptococcus: 100% sensitive to Ampicillin, Penicillin Pseudomonas: 100% sensitive to Amikacin, Gentamicin, Tobarmycin 8) Mortality cases were 32 cases (34.8%).
