Congenital lung cyst is known to be very rare. Recently we experienced one case of congenital lung cyst wihich was confirmed by autopsy. Review of literature was done briefly.

63 cases with subdual effusion who had been admitted to the pediatric department of Hanyang university hospital from May 1972 to July 1977. And following result was obtained. 1) Among 63xases, Age distribution of patients were under 6 months of age with peak incidence under one month of age (82.5%). Sex incidence revealed a male predominance with the ratio of 4 : 1 2) The chief complaints on admission were as follows fever (47.6%), Poor sucking (30.1%), Jaundice (30.1%), Vomiting (20.5%), Dyspnea(17.4%), Irritability(17.4%). 3) 28 cases had abnormal findings in transillumination (65%) among 48 cases, exudate in 13 cases, hemorrhage in 2 cases, 2 of them showed H. influenza, 2 D. pneumonia, 1 N. meningoeocci, 1 L-hemolytic streptococci. 4) The etiologic factor of subdural effusion was thought: Birth injury in 34 cases (54.1%) infection in 13 cases (20.6%), idiopathic in 14 cases (22.2%). 5) 10of these 62 cases were expired and motality rate was 15.8%

Importance of anaerobic bacteria is often neglected in clinical bacteriology due to difficulties of isolation and identification. Anaerobic infection became more important as more patients with defective defence against microbial invasion are treated at hospitals. This is a report of studies of anaerobe isolation from clinical specimens and antibiotic susceptibilities. Clinical cases with anaerobe isolation are also presented to stress importance of anaerobes as etiologic agents. 128 anaerobe strains from 111 patients, were isolated in 1972 and 1973. Among these, 82% were non-sporeforming anaerobes. Isolation of anaerobes was frequent from specimens of pleural, and abdominal fluid, and liver. In some patients, anaerobes were isolated in pure culture. Gram-positive organisms were susceptible to many antibiotics. Bacteroides fragilis was susceptible to chloramphenicol and tetracyline, but resistant to many other antibiotics. Overall antibiotic susceptibility was similar to the results by other workers in other countries.
