Purpose: Recent studies have established the association between hypotonic fluids administration and hospital-acquired hyponatremia in children, and have contended that hypotonic fluids be removed from routine practice. To assess current intravenous fluid prescription practices among Korean pediatric residents and to call for updated clinical practice education Methods: A survey-based analysis was carried out. Pediatric residents at six university hospitals in Korea completed a survey consisting of four questions. Each question supposed a unique scenario in which the respondents were to prescribe either a hypotonic or an isotonic fluid for the patient. Results: Ninety-one responses were collected and analyzed. In three of the four scenarios, a significant majority prescribed the hypotonic fluids (98.9%, 85.7%, and 69.2%, respectively). Notably, 69.2% of the respondents selected the hypotonic fluids for postoperative management. Almost all (96.7%) selected the isotonic fluids for hydration therapy. Conclusion: In the given scenarios, the majority of Korean pediatric residents would prescribe a hypotonic fluid, except for initial hydration. The current state of pediatric fluid management, notably, heightens the risk of hospital-acquired hyponatremia. Updated clinical practice education on intravenous fluid prescription, therefore, is urgently required.

This report includes the recommended immunization schedule table for children and adolescents based on the 8th (2015) and revised 7th (2012) Immunization Guidelines released by the Committee on Infectious Diseases of the Korean Pediatric Society (KPS). Notable revised recommendations include: reorganization of the immunization table with a list of vaccines on the vertical axis and the corresponding age on the horizontal axis; reflecting the inclusion of Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine, pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, and hepatitis A vaccine into the National Immunization Program since 2012; addition of general recommendations for 2 new Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccines and their interchangeability with existing JE vaccines; addition of general recommendations for quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccines and scope of the recommended targets for vaccination; and emphasizing catch-up immunization of Tdap vaccine. Detailed recommendations for each vaccine may be obtained from the full KPS 8th Immunization Guidelines.

Purpose: Pompe disease (PD) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a deficiency of acid alpha-glucosidase resulting from pathogenic GAA variants. This study describes the clinical features, genotypes, changes before and after enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), and long-term outcomes in patients with infantile-onset PD (IOPD) and late-onset PD (LOPD) at a tertiary medical center. Methods: The medical records of 5 Korean patients (2 male, 3 female patients) diagnosed with PD between 2002 and 2013 at Samsung Medical Center in Seoul, Republic of Korea were retrospectively reviewed for data, including clinical and genetic characteristics at diagnosis and clinical course after ERT. Results: Common initial symptoms included hypotonia, cyanosis, and tachycardia in patients with IOPD and limb girdle weakness in patients with LOPD. Electrocardiography at diagnosis revealed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in all patients with IOPD who showed a stable disease course during a median follow-up period of 10 years. Patients with LOPD showed improved hepatomegaly and liver transaminase level after ERT. Conclusion: As ERT is effective for treatment of PD, early identification of this disease is very important. Thus, patients with IOPD should be considered candidates for clinical trials of new drugs in the future.

목 적 : 소아청소년 비만은 흔히 성인 비만으로 이어지며, 대사증후군 등의 합병증이 조기에 더 심하게 나타나는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 소아청소년과 외래에서 설문지를 이용하여 중재할 수 있는 식습관과 신체활동습관을 파악하여 단시간에 효율적인 비만 상담이 이루어지는데 도움이 되고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2006년 5월에서 2007년 1월까지 10개 병원 진료실에 방문한 6에서 16세 사이의 소아(177명) 및 청소년(134명)을 대상으로 2006년 대한소아과학회 영양위원회에서 개발한 비만설문지를 작성하게 하였다. 2007년 대한소아과학회와 질병관리본부에서 발표한 새로운 소아청소년 신체 발육 표준치를 이용하여 정상군과 과체중군을 구분하여 통계 분석하였다. 결 과 : 청소년은 소아에 비하여 외식, 야식 횟수가 많았고 늦은 저녁, 불규칙한 식사와 공부, 컴퓨터 등의 좌식생활이 유의하게 더 많았다(P<0.05). 어머니의 비만이 있을 경우, 소아 과체중의 위험이 4.12배(95% 신뢰구간 : 1.63-10.45), 청소년 과체중의 위험이 3.48배(95% 신뢰구간 : 1.5-8.09) 높았다. 성인병 가족력은 소아와 청소년 과체중군에서 모두 유의하게 많았다(P<0.05). 잘못된 식습관을 가진 경우가 소아와 청소년 모두 과체중군에서 유의하게 많았다(P<0.05). 소아에서 왕성한 식욕 31배(95% 신뢰구간 : 3.57-268), 빨리 먹는 습관 5.71배(95% 신뢰구간 : 2.2-15.1), 배가 부를 때까지 먹는 습관 6.07배(95% 신뢰구간: 2.52-14.61), 기름진 음식을 선호하는 경우 6.07배(95% 신뢰구간: 2.52-14.62)의 과체중 위험도를 보였다. 청소년의 경우 왕성한 식욕 13.12배(95% 신뢰구간 : 1.4-122.8), 빨리 먹는 습관 4.44배(95% 신뢰구간 : 1.37-22.2), 한꺼번에 먹는 습관 2.58배(95% 신뢰구간 : 1.17-5.66), 배가 부를 때까지 먹는 습관 2.78배(95% 신뢰구간 : 1.22-6.32), 기름진 음식을 선호하는 경우 3.45배(95% 신뢰구간 : 1.52-7.85)의 과체중 위험도를 보였다. 하루 2시간 이상 컴퓨터를 사용하는 경우 청소년 과체중이 위험이 9.52배(95% 신뢰구간 : 1.14-79.33) 높았다. 결 론 : 소아청소년과 의사가 비만 상담 시 설문지를 이용하여 간편하게 생활습관을 파악하면, 개인특성에 맞추어 비만관리의 실제적인 방법을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Urinary tract infection is common in the pediatric population. The most common causative agents are bacteria, among which Escherichia coli is the most frequent uropathogen. Although fungal urinary tract infection is rare in the healthy pediatric population, it is relatively common among hospitalized patients. Fungus may be isolated from the urine of immunocompromised patients or that of patients with indwelling catheters. The most common cause of funguria is Candida albicans. Although more than 50% of Candida isolates belong to non-albicans Candida, the prevalence of non-albicans candiduria is increasing. Herein, we report a case of community-acquired candiduria in a 4-month-old immunocompetent male infant who had bilateral vesicoureteral reflux and was administered antibiotic prophylaxis. He was diagnosed with urinary tract infection caused by Candida lusitaniae and was managed with fluconazole.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to find a way to apply current oriental pediatrics treatment guidelines based on a pediatric herb chapter in Dong-eui-bo-gam. Methods: We classified herbs based on the four properties, five flavors, attributive channel, a dosage form of the medicine, diagnosis, toxicity and character. Results & Conclusions: The result of this study is that there were lots of things that we have to learn - characteristics of common herbs in pediatrics and pediatric diseases and pathology. From this study, we also learn about changes of pediatric physiology and pathology. More related studies can be helpful for updating the current oriental pediatric guidelines.

Objectives Oriental pediatrics during the Late-Joseon dynasty had constantly developed positively, independently, originally, but had declined since Japanese invasion because the western medicine flowed into Korea and Japanese imperialism carried our the oriental medical obliterating policy. As a effort of the oriental medical group that coped with the policy of Japanese imperialism, there were publication of oriental medical academic journal and there were the most important data. Those were the bases of our study which was about the tendencies of oriental pediatrics in modern Korea. Methods We studied academic journals on oriental medicine in Knowledge of Oriental Medicine Web Service and selected 31 volumes of nine academic journals our of 80 volumes of twelve academic journals, which were about pediatrics. Results and Conclusions Research into these journals has derived the conclusion that the oriental pediatrics academic trends at the time were transformed into new state which were brought the interaction and were balanced with the merit of oriental-western medicine.
