PURPOSE: Vitamin D deficiency rickets is a significant public health problem that results from insufficient exposure to sunlight and inadequate vitamin D supplementation. The purpose of this study is to identify the clinical characteristics of vitamin D deficiency rickets in infants. METHODS: Data of 35 infants diagnosed as vitamin D deficiency rickets at Sanggye-Paik Hospital, Seoul, Korea, from March 2007 to May 2009 were reviewed. Children with plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels <15 ng/mL and 15-30 ng/mL were considered to have vitamin D deficiency and vitamin D insufficiency, respectively. RESULTS: Thirty-five infants (22 boys, 13 girls) were diagnosed with rickets. Mean age at diagnosis was 7.4+/-7.1 months (range: 0.1-29.8 months). Eighteen infants (51%) were vitamin D deficient and seventeen infants (49%) were insufficient. Twenty-eight of all (80%) diagnosed as subclinical rickets. Twenty-nine infants (83%) were below the age of 12months. Twenty infants (57%) had breastfed and ten infants (29%) had iron deficiency anemia. Nine of breastfed infants (45%) were vitamin D deficient and ten of their mothers were vitamin D insufficient. Overall, radiographic evidence of rickets was present in 93% of the cases. Radiographic sign of rickets was evident even in vitamin D insufficient state. CONCLUSION: It is important for the clinician to screen for subclinical vitamin D deficiency rickets in inadequately supplemented infants by pairing 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels with wrist radiographs. A nationwide epidemiological study of vitamin D deficiency rickets must be conducted and evidence-based national guidelines must be defined to prevent rickets.

Congenital lymphatic dysplasia is a rare congenital maldevelopment of the lymphatic system, in which dysfunction of the lymphatic system may cause leakage of lymph fluid into the limbs and the pleural, pericardial, or peritoneal cavity. We experienced a case of hydrops fetalis with subcutaneous lymphedema, chylothorax, chylous ascites and pericardial effusion. Lymphangiography revealed a critical defect of lymphatic system. Here, we report the first case of premature infant with congenital lymphatic dysplasia confirmed by lymphangiography, which is the first reported in Korea.

Anti-thrombin III deficiency is known as a disease of autosomal dominant trait and relatively common, but in Korea, exact incidence and mortality is not known, In general, Anti-thrombin III deficiency is expressed to venous thromboembolism like deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. But, arterial embolism is very rare. We experienced a case of Antithrombin III deficiency expressed as myocardial infarction of inferior wall by huge thrombosis in the mid and distal right coronary artery.

Purpose:
To investigate chorioretinal vascular changes in the non-surgical eyes of patients who underwent vitreoretinal surgery under general anesthesia using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
Methods:
Data from 40 patients who underwent retinal surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Ophthalmologic examinations (including OCTA) were performed in the morning before and after surgery. The presence of intraoperative hypotension (IOH; mean arterial pressure <70 mmHg) was determined based on medical records. The vessel density of superficial and deep retinal capillary plexus layers, choriocapillaris void features, and thickness of the choroid and retina were quantified after image processing. Associations between retinal OCTA parameters and anesthesia profiles were also assessed.
Results:
DCP vessel density was increased after general anesthesia (p < 0.05). Among the patients who experienced IOH, there was no statistical difference in chorioretinal vessel parameters before and after general anesthesia. Also, we did not observe a difference in chorioretinal vessel parameters after general anesthesia between healthy patients and patients with chronic disease, including hypertension and diabetes (p > 0.05). The duration of anesthesia and average size of the choriocapillaris void (p < 0.05, r = -0.32), and the intraoperative mean arterial pressure (MAP) fluctuation and DCP, showed statistically significant negative linear correlations (p < 0.05, r = -0.38). The choriocapillaris void size and intraoperative MAP fluctuation also displayed a significant negative correlation (p < 0.05, r = -0.37), while the average size signal void showed a weak positive linear correlation (p < 0.01, r = 0.41; and p < 0.01, r = 0.44, respectively).
Conclusions
This is the first study to assess the effects of general anesthesia on chorioretinal vessels using OCTA. The Vessel density of the DCP was significantly increased in the non-surgical eye after total vitrectomy under general anesthesia. Furthermore, we found a correlation between MAP fluctuation and choriocapillaris void features. More studies are needed to confirm and expand on these observations.

BACKGROUND: Mycoplasma is a common cause of respiratory infections and may require differential diagnosis from Kawasaki disease (KD). In this study, we investigated the frequency and clinical manifestations of mycoplasma infection in patients with KD. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Medical records of 375 in-patients admitted for treatment during the acute stage of KD, were collected, and reviewed retrospectively. Of these patients, 152 (40.5%) were also tested for recent mycoplasma infection. Patients with positive results (anti-mycoplasma IgM Ab >1:640 or cold agglutinin >1:64) were designated as the case group (n = 37, 24.3%) whereas those with negative results were designated as the control group (n = 115, 75.7%). Clinical findings of the two groups were compared. RESULTS: Patients in the case group were older than those in the control group (mean age, 48.2 ± 32.1 months, vs. 31.7 ± 21.7 months; P = 0.001). There were significant differences between the case and control groups in the changes in the extremities (78.3% vs. 57.4%, respectively; P = 0.031), and in fever duration (6.5 ± 2.5 days vs. 5.4 ± 1.5 days; P = 0.047). Of the 37 patients with positive mycoplasma testing, 7 (18.9%) had persistent fever even after the symptoms and signs of systemic inflammation (acute phase of KD) had been resolved. These patients were positive for mycoplasma infection during further evaluation of persistent fever, and all of them responded to macrolide antibiotics. CONCLUSIONS: We found that mycoplasma infection is somewhat related to KD. When fever persists after resolution of the acute stage of KD, mycoplasma infection may be considered as a possible cause of fever in preschool-aged children.
