A Case of Eales' disease in a 36 years, old R.O.K. officer, male, is presented in this report. This patient has been suffered from Eales' disease for these 3 years. Although the recovery from this disease was occurred two times previously, it was resulted as Complete blindness of O. D. due to the Complications of this disease and poor visual acuity of O. S. on account of marked vitreous opacity and retinal hemorrhage in spite of intensive treatment with anti-tuber culous agents, steroids, varidase and subconjunctival injection of 3% Sodiumchloride solution.

Tetanus is a rare disease in the developed countries, including Korea, as a result of nearly universal active immunization. Because many physicians have little experience with its diagnosis and management, misdiagnosis and therapeutic delay may result in catastrophic consequences. We report one case of generalized tetanus. A previously healthy 35-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department because of stiffness on jaw and neck. board-like abdomen, extended and rigid both legs, chest tightness, and dyspnea. Seven days before admission, he was injured on the right thing at work. In the emergency department, he was given 5,000 units of human tetanus immunoglobulin intramuscularly, as well as diazepam 2 mg/hr intravenously. On the second hospital day, tracheostomy was performed. Ten days later, his condition was improved. Twenty eight days after admission, he was discharged without any complication.

Mycelium of Hericium erinaceum isolate KU-1 was cultured in liquid medium (HL medium) and solid medium (Ko medium) at pH 4.0 in 28degrees C. 1.0% glucose or fructose was the most favorable carbon source, and 0.2% amonium acetate or NaNO3 was an exellent nitrogen source for mycelial growth as well as production of antimicrobial substances. The mixture of saw dust 70% with rice bran 30% (SR medium) was the substrate for formation of sporophores. The active substrates in extracts from mycelium, culture filtrate and fruiting body were separated by TLC. The solvent for TLC was EtOAc: Chloroform: MeOH (10 : 5 : 10). Phenol-like substances appeared at Rf 0.5~0.9, and fatty acid-like substances appeared at Rf 0.1~0.2. The purified materials from the extracts showed antimicrobial effects to Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans and Microsporum gypseum. The S. aureus was the most inhibited. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of purified white powder and the Hercenone derivatives against S. aureus were 5.65microg/ml and 1.85microg/ml, respectively.

Female pelvic tuberculosis is almost invariably secondary to disease elsewhere, usually in the lungs. It is difficult to diagnose pelvic tuberculosis, because it is often a disease with absent or few non-specific symptoms. Pelvic tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of all ovarian mass and pelvic malignancy. We report a case of retroperitoneal tuberculous lymphadenopathy that may be mistaken for pelvic malignancy, because of the nonspecific clinical features and radiologic findings. The diagnosis was made post-operatively by histopathology.

One of the most common symptoms of multiple sclerosis is visual loss. But the most previous reported cases are unilaterai visual loss due to optic neuritis or retrobulbar optic neuritis or visual field defect due to chiasmal or optic tract lesion. We report a 34 year old female patient who had developed sudden onset of blindenss because of optic chiasm and optic tract lesion. She also complained of involuntary right hand movement and mild left hemiparesis. On T2-weighted image of MRI we found abnormal high sigmal intensities on the optic chiasm, bilateral optic tract, internal capsule and periventricular white matter. Her total blindness has not recovered until the last follow nine months after the initial event.

The painful ophthalmoplegia may be caused by various diseases such as tuberculous meningitis, brain tumor, diabetes mellitus, aneurysm of internal carotid artery, nasopharyngeal tumor, temporal arteritis, Tolosa-Hunt syndrome, exophthalmic ophthalmoplegia, ophthalmoplegic migraine and pseudotumor of orbit. Ophthalmoplegic migraine can be diagnosed by the symptom of typical migraine followed by ophthalmoplegia but sbould be a diagnosls of exclusion. The present report describes a case of ophthalmoplegic migraine, a 9 year-old girl with migrainous headache followed by right orbital pain and oculomotor nerve palsy The patient responded well to propranolol. Literatures are briefly reviewed.
