Kawasaki disease is described by fever lasting five days or more, bilateral conjunctival injection, changes of lips and oral cavity, polymorphous exanthema, acute non-purulent cervical lymphadenopathy, and changes of extremities. Atypical Kawasaki disease is defined as fewer than 4 of 6 criteria described above including coronary artery abnormalities. Especially, atypical clinical manifestations of Kawasaki disease appear in infants younger than 6 months old of age. Thus we recommend echocardiography in early infancy who has prolonged fever in order to diagnose atypical Kawasaki disease and treat early. We have experienced three cases of atypical Kawasaki disease with coronary aneurysm who were admitted because of fever and revealed coronary aneurysm on echocardiography.

Eruptive vellus hair cysts and steatocystoma multiplex have clinical similarities in terms of age of onset, location and appeararice of the lesions, but histopathologic feitures are distinctively differen-tiated. We present herein a 37-year-old woman with eruptive vellus hair cyst and steatocystoma multiplex as well. The histopathologic sections from 2 different lesions showed features of both eruptive vellus hair cyst with sebaceous gland in and near the cyst wall, and steatocy toma multiplex with rudimentary hair follicle near the cyst wall. This case may support the premie that eruptive vellus hair cyst and steatocystoma multiplex have a common developmental origin.

Injuries to the ligament and other supporting structures of the knee joint are becoming very frequent because of the increasing popularity of sports and the complexity of traffic & industrial accidents in the modern society. There have been much development in undtrstanding the anatomy, function and biomechanics of the knee in recent years. Accurate surgical technique, energetic physiotherapy and appropriate use of brace are essential to obtain the maximum rehabilitation of the injured knees. It is long realized that some sort of knee brace is necessary as a means of stabilizing the injured knee either as a conservative treatment or as a adjuvant treatment treatment pre-or postoperatively before full rehabilitation is attained. We have introuced Lenox Hill Derotation Brace for the first time in Korea, employed in 24 case(26 knees) and found the following advantages. 1. It is light and easy to apply. 2. It is possible to control all kind of the knee instability. 3. It is possible to engage in any activity with the Brace in place without limitation of the knee motion. therefore, we recommend the Brace as a very usefull adjuvant for the proper treatment of the injured knee.

Porencephaly is relatively rare condition defined by an defect or a defect or cavity in the cerebrum owing to a developmental malformation or to a destructive lesion. Fory-five porencephaly patients diagnosed by Brain CT were clinically analyzed and the following results were obtained. 1) By the age group presenting initial symptoms, the peak incidence was from 1 month to below 3 years old. 2) In initial symptoms, seizure, spastic weakness, headache were showed in order of frequency. But 7 cases (15.5%) were asymptomatic. 3) The latency of diagnosis after presenting initial symptoms from the symptom onset time to 10 years. 4) The subsequent symptoms were as follows: spastic weakness, speech disturbance, gait disturbance, mental retardation, sensory loss and seizure showed independently or combined. 5) As etiologic factor, 21 cases (46.7%) were congenital, 16 cases (35.5%) were post-traumatic or post-operative and 8 cases (17.8%) were perinatal. 6) The prognosis was seen various from mild to severe. Out of 45 cases, 29 cases (64.4%) were no complications. But the prognosis in patients with post-traumatic or postoperative etiological factors was poor. With the advent of brain CT and the resultant capability of detecting structural defect and cerebral lesions responsible for epilepsy or focal neurologic signs, porencephaly was seen to be readily recongizable by CT examination. Since porencephaly is a significant contributor to the spectrum of CNS lesion and benign condition, ist recognition is important in determining prognosis and therapy.

BACKGROUND: The effects of intralesional recombinant alpha-2 interferon(IFN) in the treatment of basal cell carcinoma(BCC) and actinic keratosis(AK) would be of value in selected patients. OBJECTIVE: Our purpose is to evaluate the differences of cellular immune reactions between the responded and the unresponded cases treated with IFN. METHODS: We treated five patients with BCC and two patients with AK with the intralesional injection of recombinant alpha-2 IFN. We performed immunohistochemical stainings with paraffin-embedded specimens from the pretreated and posttreated skin lesions. RESULTS: Four patients(three with BCC and one with AK) were healed and three patients showed improvement after treatment. In immunohistochemical stainings, there was an increased number of T cells in the dermal infiltrate of the responded cases but not in the unresponded cases. CONCLUSION: Intralesional IFN may induce T cell-mediated immune response at the site of the tumor by immune modulation.

We report herein three cases of vesicular pemphigoid that is a varient of bullous pemphigoid, occuring in 38-year old female, 51-year old male, and 35-year old female patients. They had recurrent and moderate to severe pruritic tense vesicles with symmetrical distribution chiefly on the head and neck areas. The histological findings showed subepidermal bullae which contained a few eosinophils and the direct irnmunofluorescent tests revealed linear deposition of IgG, IgM and C, on the basement mernbrane zone. Futhermore, all the patients showed a good response to dapsone.

BACKGROUND: Epidermal grafting using cryotherapy for recipient sites is in widespread use. However the peripheral hypopigmented haloes that occur around the recipient sites require prolon gation of the treatment period. OBJECTIVE: We used a CO2 laser to remove the epidermis of the recipient sites for betteri results. METHODS: We treated lie localized vitiligo patients with CO2 laser to remove t.he epidermis and grafted suction blister rooves. We observed repigmentation and complications 1 month later. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS : The superiority of this method is demonstrated by the fact 1) all prodedures can be completed on the day of operation 2) the incidence of hypertrophic scar and peripheral hypopigmented halos can be observed.The problems of this method are 1) uneven repigmentation of recipient. sites 2) hyperpigrnentation of recipient sites
