PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical manifestations, contact history, and status of tuberculosis contact investigations in school-age children and adolescents with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) at two centers. METHODS: This study was conducted with 54 patients in the age ranging from 10 to 18 years, who were diagnosed with pulmonary TB at the Pusan National University Hospital and Pusan National University Children's Hospital, January 2008 to December 2012. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of the patients. RESULTS: The median age of the patients was 16 years old; 11 patients were aged 10 to 14 and 43 patients were aged 15 to 18. Among 54 patients, 19 had history of contact with pulmonary TB, 10 had contact with house members (household), and remaining 9 had contact with classmates (non-household). One out of 10 patients who had household contacts and 6 out of 9 patients who had non-household contacts were evaluated with contact investigation after the exposure to pulmonary TB. Among 7 patients who were evaluated with contact investigation, 3 were diagnosed with active pulmonary TB, 1 had latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI), and 3 had no evidence of TB or LTBI. The median period of diagnosis after the exposure to active pulmonary TB was 2 years in patients with household contacts and 0.23 years in patients with non-household contacts. CONCLUSION: This study suggested that if the contact investigation conducted properly, it would be helpful for early diagnosis and prevention of pulmonary TB.

From June 1982 to Feb. 1987, 250 cases of planned ECCE with posterior chamber lens implantation were performed in Koryo General Hospital. Among them, 200 cases had been followed up for more than 2 months. The results were as follows: 1. Among 200 cases, the most prevalent age groups were age 40s to 50s for men(103 cases, 64.4% of 160 male cases) and age 60s to 70s for women(32 cases, 80% of 40 female cases). The mean age was 49.67 years for men and 65.84 years for women. 2. Before the operation, diabetes mellitus and hypertention were shown to be the most common systemic diseases, which were found in 8 cases and 6 cases, respectively. Exotropia and macular degeneration were some what more common ophthalmic problems, which were found in 2 cases, respectively. 3. Early postoperative complications were striate keratitis, corneal edema (180 cases, 90%), and uveitis (160 cases, 80%). These figures show that almost all cases have the above complications developed after planned ECCE and posterior chamber lens implantation. 4. Late complications were after cataract(6 cases, 3%) and secondary glaucoma (5 cases, 2.5%). 5. The best corrected visual acuity after operation of 0.5 or better was 84%. 6. The spherical equivalent between -2.00D and emmetropia of postoperative corrective spectacle lens power was composed of 132 cases(66%). 7. Postoperative astigmatism occurred in 103 cases. Among them, the lens power of 0.01 to 1.50D was found in 58 cases(56.3%). The most common axis of astigmatism was 180degree, which appeared in 28 cases.

Adenocarcinoma of the meibomian gland is relatively uncommon. In recent years, the authors have experienced a case of histologically proven meibomian gland adenocarcinoma. This was a 80-year-old female who had a regrowing large mass in the right upper eyelid. She was treated with surgical excision but rejected radiation therapy. A biopsy was performed and the histopathological examination revealed adenocarcinoma of the meibomian gland.
