A clinical observation was performed on 2,122 cases of premature infants who were admitted to Ilsin Christian during the past 5 years from Jan. 1986 to Dec. 1990. The results were as follows; 1) The incidence of prematurity was 5.7%, overall mortality rate was 15.8%, and the sex ratio of male to female was 1.5:1. 2) Concomitant maternal diseases were premature rupture of membrane 457 cases (21.5%), preeclampsia & eclampsia 424 cases (19.9%), multiple pregnancy 250 cases (11.7%) etc, in the order of frequency. 3) Prematurity was most prevalent among multipara over 3. 4) Incidence of prematurity according to maternal age was frequent in woman more than 35 years old. 5) Mortality of prematurity was higher inversely propotional to birth weight & gestational age. 6) Main causes of death were IRDS 45 cases (43%), congenital anomaly 72 cases (21.6%), sepsis 31 cases (9.3%), and unknown 84 cases (25.0%). 7) Clinical problems were hyperbilirubinemia 38.9%, hypoglycemia 28.6%, IRDS 18%, sepsis & other infections 8.1% etc, in the order of frequency. 8) Most deaths were seen within first 24hr (74.5%).

A 23-year-old woman with Down syndrome presented erythematous keratotic plaques with whitish scales on the elbows, forearm, knee and leg. Histopathological findings revealed acanthosis with broad and short rete ridges, alternating orthokeratosis and parakeratosis oriented in both vertical and horizontal directions, and dermal superficial perivascular lymphocytic infiltration, compatible with pityriasis rubra pilaris.

Cutaneous manifestations of Vibrio vulnificus septicemia are bullae, vesicles, necrotic ulcers, localized swelling, cyanosis, and gangrene, which begin to occur mostly on the legs. The characteristic cutaneous lesions associated with pain often give an informative clue for the suspicion of Vibrio vulnificus infection in endemic area. We report a case of Vibrio vulnificus septicemia with atypical cutaneous manifestation of generalized erythema multiforme-like eruption in a Korean man, who died within 9 hours following hospitalization in spite of the intensive therapy. We suggest EM-like eruption of V. vulnificus septicemia is the novel cutaneous manifestation and may indicate poor prognosis.
