52 cases of visceral parasitic infestation with eosinophilia were studied at Dong Nai Pediatric Hospital from April 2003 to July 2004. The most common symptoms were abdominal pain, headache, ecchymosis. In addition there were other manifestation such as at respiratory tract, joints, kidney. The symptoms had suggested visceral parasitic infection in children although there was no eosinophilia. Thus only serological examination was recommended

The study has determined the seroprevalence and the risk factors of C and B hepatitis virus infection among cambodian patients visited to HCM city University Medical Centre. Results found an endemic prevalence of 19.74% of anti HCV(+) serum, anti-HBC(+) 74.84%, 15.84% HBsAg(+). 3.04% of anti-HCV(+) and HBsAg. Risk factors for HCV infection are concentration campain staying, traditional acupuncture, multiple sex partners injecting glass syringes.

A retrospective study was carried out on 67 patients with Japanese Encephalitis at Dong Nai Pediatric Hospital from August 1999 to July 2001. Its showed a 40.8% of acute encephalitis patients admiited into hospital acquired Japanese encephalitisl Among them, 100% had IgM anti JE antibody(+), 100% were not vaccinated. Main clinical manifestations were fever 100%, coma 64.2%, vomit 71.6%, headache 55.2%, convulsion 46.2%. After treating: full recovery 61.2%, neuro-psychiatric sequella 11.9%, referral to higher level Pediatric Hospital 20.9%, death 6%. Because of the lack of specific therapeutic medicines, JE vaccine must be recommended to integrate to enlarged immunized program.

Both benign and malignant tumors in adrenal glands could make hypersecretion syndrom arised. Benign tumor usually has small size, homogenous intensity on cross-section. Opening surgery to remove the adrenal gland remains a safe and effective operation. However, a well trained surgeons can remove the tumors by endoscopy. It is an invasive interference with a short term hospitalisation with very low rate of complications.

Study on 50 cases treated by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) at Tu Du Hospital. There were 490 sperm injected oocytes. There wasn’t difference between fertilization rates of injected ovule with normal sperm and with abnormal sperm. The embryo development rate from fertilized oocytes is better if normal sperm were injected: 25.2% of normal sperm injected oocytes developed into good quality embryos, while none of embryos generated from oocytes injected with abnormal sperm is of good quality. The selection of sperm for ICSI plays an important role in getting high results in ICSI and this procedure should be complied sperm morphologic criteria recommended by WHO in order to improve the fertilization rate and embryo quality

A randomized controlled trial was carried out on two groups of patients who were received either Flagystatine (nystatin 1000000 UI/metronidazol 500 mg) or Neo Penotran (miconazol 100mg/metronidazol 500 mg), twice a day for 7 days. Gynecological and microbiological assessments were carried out before treatment and 14 days after the first visit. In Flagystatine and Neo Penotran groups, clinical cure rates were 42% and 77.9% respectively; microbiological cure rates were 68.2% and 72.1%. In Neo Penotran group, functional symptoms were reduced more than organic symptom (84.8% and 79.1%, respectively). This difference was not so remarkable in Flagystatine group (64.8% and 65.95, respectively). Side effects of Neo Penotran were insignificant. Neo Penotran therapy without supportive treatment had higher efficacy in vaginitis at dosage of two pill a day in 7 days. The drug showed effects in both of function symptoms and organic symptoms, in clinical and paraclinical

The study was carried out at Hung Vuong Hospital in 1998 to compare vaginal misoprostol with extra-amniotic balloon to induce abortion in second trimester. Patients were received either 800mcg misoprostol vaginally (n=87) or 500ml of 0.9% NaCl solution inserted into extra-amniotic cavity (n= 93) for induced abortion. Vaginal misoprostol was repeated 24-hourly for maximum of three times. The abortion rates were 98.9% and 96.8% for misoprostol and balloon group, respectively. A second attempt was need in approximate one third of patients in misoprostol group and 10% in balloon group. Side effects of misoprostol were mild and transient. Vaginal misoprostol is as effective as balloon for induced abortion in second trimester. Misoprostol is cheap and easily stored and used. Vaginal misoprostol could be considered as an alternative to balloon for induced abortion

A rare case of venomous snakebite is reported. Patient is a 35 year old woman with 6th pregnancy of 37-week gestational age. She was presented with a green pit viper snake bite on right foot associated with severe venom poisoning symptoms leading to fetal death and abruptio placentae, severe coagulation disorder with undetectable fibrinogen level. Blood transfusion, cesarean section and hysterectomy were done. After operation, patient’s clinical status was relatively stable but bleeding persisted 6 days after snakebite. Blood coagulation was only improved after administration of 3 doses of specific antivenomous sera

Report a case of patient Tran Đ.V. born at December 26th 2002 in Ninh Thuan district, Khanh Hoa province, admitted hospital at November 25th 2003 due to hirsutism and developed genitalia. Ultrasound and CT scan examinations showed a mass in his right adrenal gland, which was subsequently removed surgically. The histopathological findings were consistent with an adreno-cortical carcinoma. This is a rare tumor with frequency 1/10.000 adrenal tumors in adult. In children, there are some cases and most frequently in girls. Adreno-cortical carcinoma combining with isosexual precocious pseudopuberty is rarer in boys
