The number of skin graft operations following the soft tissue injuries has been increasing year after .year, as the number of industrial business is growing fast in Seoul district. We have performed one hundred and two cases of skin graft, mainly for the extremities injury in the orthopedic surgical department alone during last sixteen months (from January. l968 to Apri1, 1969) including two plastic operation for the penile skin which involves, very rarely because of an anatomical .stand point The plastic repair of penile skin was done by means of Goodwin's technic. The pedicle skin wag donated from the scrotum for the completely necrotized penile skin which was developed following the attempt of removal of the penile paraffinoma.

The one case of sparganosis is described, the patient, 45 years old male, had adult fist sized tumor mass on scrotum for 3 year's duration and removed 4 adults sparganum mansonoides by surgical operation. Attention is calIed to the importance of sparganosis in subcutaneous swelling or tumor because of to took lived snake or non-boiling water in customary at Korea.

The anorectal anomaly is not rarely seen in the neonatal period. But, If it is not accompanied with a fairly large fistula, it presents an urgent problem, so should be managed with perianal anoplasty or colostomy. Neonatal peritonitis is very grave and is caused by various conditions listed in Table 1. In Korea, no case of neonatal peritonitis caused by anorectal has yet been reported in the literature. With brief review of the literature, we present a case of neonatal peritonitis which appeared 36 hours after birth by perforation of the colon due to anorectal stenosis.

PURPOSE: Kawasaki disease(KD) may be linked to primary infection by certain common viruses. KD concurrent with Epstein-Barr virus(EBV) suggests the possibility of an etiologic agent related to the KD rather than to the EBV infection itself, but, the influence on coronary complication is unclear. To establish whether infection with EBV contributed to the outcome of coronary artery lesions in patients with KD is the purpose of this study. METHODS: Retrospective studies were performed on 96 cases(age 2.48+/-1.94 years) of KD evaluated with serologic studies of EBV(EBV EA IgM, EBV EA IgG, EBNA IgG) at admission. We evaluated the clinical features and coronary outcome between a control group with KD and an EBV associated group with KD. RESULTS: On serologic studies of EBV, 62 patients(64.6%) with one more than positive results were in the EBV associated group with KD, in 30 patients with recent EBV infection, and in 32 patients with previous EBV infection. There were no significant differences between the control group and the EBV associated group in age, sex, and other clinical findings. Eighten patients (18.7%) had abnormal baseline echocardiogram, 13 patients(21.0%) among them were in the EBV associated group and 5 patients(14.7%) were in the control group; there was no significant difference between the two groups. Significantly 11 of 13 patients(84.6%) with coronary lesions had positive result of EBNA IgG, suggesting previous infection. There were no significant differences in retreatment and recurrence incidence. After retreatment, in 3 of 6 cases with the EBV associated group, and in no cases with the control group, cardiac complications were observed. CONCLUSION: Previous or chronic EBV infection may influence the occurrence of coronary lesion in patients with KD, even though patients with cardiac complication improved later.
