  • Our study investigated the prevalence of allergic conjunctivitis and skin prick test reactivity and type of allergen from 1352 individuals living in Gwangyang city. The prevalence of allergic conjunctivitis symptom were 40,2% of study subjects and diagnosised subjects with allergic conjunctivitis of them were 15.8%. In skin prick test, 20.2% of total subjects had at least one positive skin prick reaction and positive skin prick reaction with allergic conjunctivitis of subjects was 21.3%(n=103). Their major allergens were indoor allergen like dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Dermatophagoides farinae.

  • After application of silver nitrate on every newborn, the incidence of gonococcal conjunctivitis was markedly decreased. But recently neonatal conjunctivitis due to chlamydia infection is increasing, so clinical observation was made on 26 newborn infants who showed eye discharge from June 1st to August 31st 1989. The results were as follows. 1. The incidence of chlamydia infection among neonatal Conjunctivitis was 34.6%. 2. The most common age at diagnosis was 6-15days of life and there was no sexual prepondrance. 3. There was no significant difference on clinical symptoms between chlamydia conjunctivitis and other Conjunctivitis. 4. Of 26 infants examined. 16 cases revealed no growth on routine bacterial culture. Of the organism cultured, P. aeruginosa was the most common agent(19.2%) and followed by S. aureus(11.5%) and S. epidermidis(7.6%). In one case of chlamydia I conjunctivitis, there was concurrent S. aureus infections. 5. On this study, Giemsa stain did not give significant diagnostic aid of chlamydia conjunctivitis.

  • One male Arabian horse, 5-year-old, reared in Gort, Co Galway, Ireland was diagnosed as conjunctivitis. Acupuncture and aquapuncture with dexamethasone were done at BL01, BL02 and ST01, twice a week, and oculo-acupuncture was done into Shangjiao area using with oculo-acupuncture needle for human use. At session 3, there were no lacrimation, ocular discharge and hyperemia in the eye. The present patient was a case with equine conjunctivitis which showed favorable therapeutic response by acupuncture treatment.

  • 반려묘 수가 늘어나는 현대 사회에서 동물 의료 낙후 지역의 보호자는 고양이의 정확한 건강 상태를 파악하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 고양이가 가장 흔하게 걸리는 질병인 '결막염'을 비대면으로 진단하고자, 전이학습(Transfer Learning) 기반의 딥러닝 모델을 이용한 웹 애플리케이션을 개발 및 배포하였다. 이를 통해 고양이 결막염 발병 여부 조기 진단 및 치료비 절감, 반려묘 보호자의 편의성 증대 및 동물 의료 서비스의 지역 편차를 줄이는데 기여하고자 한다.

  • Purpose : Epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) caused by adenovirus is a highly contagious disease, which has been reported as outbreaks involving adults in the community. However, there has been no report on EKC outbreak by adenovirus in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in Korea. Aims of this study were to investigate the EKC outbreak by adenovirus type 8 in NICU and to confirm an effectiveness of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for diagnosis. Methods : Conjunctival swab or nasopharyngeal aspirate specimens were taken from all patients and tested by viral culture and PCR. Adenovirus serotype was determined by sequencing of PCR product of selected region of hexon gene using the virus isolates or specimens. Results : An outbreak of EKC occurred which was involving 12 preterm infants in the NICU of the Seoul National University Children's Hospital between July 12th and August 1st, 2005. Three hospital staffs and one family member of the neonate were also affected. Adenovirus was detected in 12/12 (100%), 6/11 (54.5%) by PCR and virus culture, respectively. Eleven PCR-positive neonates were identified as serotype 8 by sequencing. The first affected 4 babies have had routine ROP (retinopathy of prematurity) examinations one week ago. While previous outbreaks were sustained for a few months, the event in our unit was controlled without complications in 3 weeks. Conclusion : We analyzed the EKC outbreak by adenovirus type 8 in NICU. Adenovirus serotype was identified by PCR and sequencing with high sensitivity for the first time in Korea, so we suggest this method can be very useful for rapid diagnosis and infection control.

  • Purpose: In this study, we studied ocular disease by age in Ulsan. Methods: We checked medical record of 300 patients who visited eye clinic in Ulsan. Results: The main ocular disease on the age of 10 was keratitis, that of 20 was dry eye syndrome & keratitis, that of 30 was chalazion & conjunctivitis, that of 40~50 was conjunctivitis, that of 60 was conjunctivitis & cataract. Conclusions: The main cause of ocular disease of 10~20's are unsuitable wear of contact lenses & long-time use of smart phone as well as computer. That of 30~50's are allergic conjunctivitis and chemical material reaction as well as other several factors. Especially, attack rate of conjunctivitis of 30~50's is higher than city because of industrial area (Ulsan). The main cause of ocular disease in 50~60's is a kind of senility. Therefore, based on the results of this study, it could be used the basic data of education on ocular disease prevention in Ulsan.
