We report a case of 17-year-old female with juvenile onset systemic lupus erythematosus Who developed symptomatic unilateral sacroiliitis. She had neither HLA-DR3 nir B27 antigens. Though sacroiliitis have been reported in mail SLE patient. it has been rarely reported in female patients. The rare coexistence of SLE and sacroiliitis. described in this case. may not be determined soley by genetic factors; sacroiliitis may be just an infrequent manifestation of SLE.

Intravitreal silicone oil injection is useful to manage the complicated retinal detachment. However, many comlications including secondary glaucoma can occur followin gsilicone oil injection. We performed this study to investigate the incidence and risk factors of silicone oil induced secondary glaucoma. The medica records of 213 eyes of 210 consecutive patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil injection between January 1990 and June 1997, were reviewed retrospectivel. Fifty five of 213 eyes(25.8%) developed secondary glaucoma. The mean follow-up period was 33.4 months. The mean amount of injected silicone oil was 5.0+/-1.0ml, and 33.4 the mean numbers of operation prior to the silicone oil injection was 2.3. 65.5% of secondary glaucoma was developed within 1 year of silicone oil injection. High preoperative intraocular pressure(IOP) (p=0.004), high myopia(p=0.015) and presence of silicone oil in anterior chamber(p=0.004) increased the incidence of secondary glaucoma significantly. In conclusion, patients who have high preoperative IOP, high myopia and silicone oil in anterior chamber must be carefully followed after silicone oil injection due to high incidence of secondary glaucoma, especially during the first 1 year.

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B vaccination schedule commonly used in Korea is divided largely into 0, 1, 2 month scheduled vaccination group(0, 1, 2 group) and 0, 1, 6 month scheduled vaccination gorup(0, 1, 6 group). The only difference bet.ween two groups is the interval from 2nd dose to 3rd dose. This st,udy had been carried out, to find whether t.he difference of vaccination interval influence the vaccination complet,ion rate or not. METHODS: Study objects are 135 persons over 20 years old who had heptitis B vaccination more than once in injection room of Dongkuk University Kyong-ju Hospital from Jan. 1st in 1996 to Dec. 31th in 1996. Data about vaccination completion were gathered from record book of injection room and telephone interview. RESULTS: Hepatitis B vaccination completion rate is 73.8% in 0, 1, 2 group and 72.5% in 0, 1, 6 group. The reasons for incomplete vaccination are forgetting vaccinat.ion date(36.4% in 0, 1, 2 group and 50% in 0, 1, 6 group), having no time to spare for vaccination(54.5% in 0, 1, 2 group and 43% in 0, 1, 6 group) and knowing positive HBsAb before completion of scheduled vaccination(9.1% in 0, 1, 2 group and 7% in 0, 1, 6 group). CONCLUSIONS: There is no difference in Hepatitis B vaccination complet,ion rate bet.ween 0, 1, 2 group and 0, 1, 6 group.
