Kawasaki disease is an acute febrile vasculitis affecting primarily infants and young children. In addition to the cardiovascular involvement, it may cause inflammatory changes in various organs and body systems : digestive, respiratory, urinary, nervous and musculoskeletal. A case is reported of atypical Kawasaki disease associated with acute renal failure and necrotizing myositis in the right gastrocnemius in a 10-year-old boy. In older children, uncommon age of onset and additional features less commonly associated with Kawasaki disease may contribute to a delayed diagnosis.

An extraskeletal osteosarcoma is a rare malignancy. A small number of cases and studies have been reported in the world and only two cases have been reported in Korea. We experienced an extraskeletal osteosarcoma around the knee joint of 91-year-old male who was the oldest case in the literatures. It was developed without history of trauma, irradiation, myositis ossificans, and heterotopic ossification of dermatomyositis. This patient was treated with excision alone, however he was alive and there were no sign of local recurrence or distant metastasis and functional loss during 1-year follow-up.

Background : Although lung involvement has been reported in 5 to 46% of dermatomyositis/polymyositis(DM/PM) patients, reports of the condition in Korea are rare. This study evaluated the clinical features of lung involvement in DM/PM patients. Methods : The medical records, laboratory results and radiologic findings of 79 DM/pM patients, who attended the Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH) between 1989 and 1999, were reviewed retrospectively. Results : A total 79 patients of whom 24 patients(33%) showed lung involvement, were enrolled in this study. More patients with lung involvement were female(F:M=11:1), and older compared with those without lung involvement. Patients with lung involvement presented with dyspnea(79%), coughing(67%), an elevated ESR, and CK/LD. Anti-Jo 1 antibody test was positive in 30%, which is significantly higher in patients with lung involvement. A simple chest X-ray of the patients with lung involvement exhibited reticular opacity(50%), reticulonodular opacity(30%), patchy opacity(29%), nodular opacity(13%) and linear opacity(4%). HRCT(n=24) showed ground glass opacity(75%), linear or septal thickening(50%), patchy consolidation(42%), honey-combing(33%) and nodular opacity(17%). The pulmonary function test showed a restrictive ventilatory pattern(77%) and a lower diffusing capacity(62%). The patients were followed up during a mean duration of $30{\pm}28$ months. They were treated with steroid only(50%) or a combination of steroids and cytotoxic agents(46%). Muscle symptoms were improved in 89% with treatment, but an improvement in the respiratory symptoms or in the pulmonary function test was rare. Patients with lung involvement had a higher mortality rate(21%) than those without lung involvement(10%) during the follow-up periods. Conclusion : DM/PM patients with lung involvement were mostly female, older and had a higher positive rate Anti-Jo 1 antibodies, but there was no significant difference in prognosis.

1. 질병명 : Neosporosis 2. 본 질병의 개요 역사 및 역학 : 1984년 노르웨이에서 부전마비로 폐사한 개를 검사하던 중 뇌척수염과 근염을 확인하고 T. gondii와 다른 새로운 원충성 질병을 최초로 보고한 이래 Dubey등이 미국에서 톡소플라즈마 감염으로 진단되었던 30두의 개조직에 대한 재검토를 실시하여 그 중 10 두는 새로운 원충성 질병으로 확인한 후 Neospora caninum을 명명하였다. 현재까지 본 원충은 개, 소, 염소, 말, 사슴 등에서 자연발생 예가 보고되었다. 특히 소에서는 유산의 한 주요한 원인체임이 한국을 비롯한 여러 나라에서 확인되었다.

Focal myositis is a benign inflammatory pseudotumor of a skeletal muscle that clinically mimics a tumor of soft tissue, but the cause of which is obscure. I report here a case of multifocal recurrent nonpainful myositis found in a 68-year-old man who showed a subacute multifocal recurrent nonpainful inflammatory myopathy affecting discrete muscle groups with spontaneous remission and/or some medication.

Pyomysitis is a primary acute bacterial infection of large skeletal muscule, usually occuring in the absence of specific cause of infection. Pyomyositis has been reported mainly in tropical countries and was rare in temperate climates. but it has been recognized with increasing frequency. Toxic shock syndrome(TSS) is an acute mutisystemic disease characterized by high fever, hypotension, multisystem dysfunction and erythematous rash followed by skin desquamation 8-12 days after onset. Especially, TSS and pyomyositis are rare conditions in the pediatric population. We experienced one case in a healthy 13-year-girl who developed pyomyositis of the right ileac and gluteal muscles associated with TSS caused by methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. We reports a case of acute pyomyositis with TSS, in which the diagnosis was difficult because of the relative rare incidence in temperate climates and its vague symptoms. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of pyomyositis with TSS in Korean pediatric population.

Multiple myositis is a disorder of unknown etiology characterized by an inflammatory myopathy involving striated skeletal muscle The case is about a patient who is 74 years old man. Both of his shoulder girdles and pelvic girdles were suddenly paralyzed. We diagnosed a patient's illness as multiple myositis. Treatment was Herb-medication and rest. And in the case of this patient, power of both shoulder girdles and pelvic girdles with physiolocal condition improved remarkably.

Myositis ossificans is a solitary benign ossifying lesion in the soft tissue. Occurring predominantly in muscles, a similar lesion may occasionally be found in subcutaneous tissues, tendons, fascia and periosteum. It is often misdiagnosed as an extraskeletal osteosarcoma because of its rapid growth. Therefore, it is sometimes called pseudomalignant myositis ossificans. Myositis ossificans rarely occurs in the distal portion of the finger. We present a case of myositis ossificans of finger and review the the clinical, radiographical, and histological presentation, as well as the appropriate therapeutic management.
