  • Dermatomyositis (DM) is characterized by progressive proximal limb weakness and typical skin manifestations. The histological findings that show perifascicular atrophy and deposition of membrane attack complex are pathognomic features of DM. Dermatomyositis is categorized into classical DM and non-classical DM, which includes amyopathic DM and DM sine dermatitis. DM sine dermatitis is seldom described because of its rarity, making the diagnosis more challenging. We report a case of DM sine dermatitis, a rare phenotype of DM.

  • A four-year old, indoor-living neutered male Old English Bulldog was presented for generalized ulcerative dermatitis. Generalized alopecia and multifocal papules and ulcers with crusting were observed mainly in the dorsal trunk. Cytology of the skin lesions revealed a pyogranulomatous inflammation comprising macrophages and nondegenerate neutrophils. Histopathology also revealed a nodular dermatitis characterized by mixed infiltration of monocytes and neutrophils involving the superficial and deep dermis. Neither of bacteria nor fungus was identified in microscopic exam and culture. From those findings, a diagnosis of cutaneous sterile pyogranuloma/granuloma syndrome (SPGS) was made. Treatment with immunosuppressive drugs of prednisone and cyclosporine was performed and visible ulcerative skin lesions were resolved after 4 weeks of initiation of therapy. Treatment with combination of cyclosporine and prednisone may be effective for the case of SPGS.

  • Objectives The purpose of this study is to provide evidence of traditional Korean medicine treatment in children and adolescents by reviewing previous studies published in the journal of pediatrics of Korean medicine. Methods We have reviewed clinical studies of children and adolescents in the journal of pediatrics of Korean medicine from 2008 to 2017. Results Eighty-seven clinical studies of children and adolescents were reviewed. Total number of patients were 1644 in the studies. Among these, top 5 most commonly reported diseases in children and adolescents were atopic dermatitis, growth, autism, juvenile idiopathic arthritis and obesity. The most common intervention to treat those was taking herbal medicine. Most of the clinical studies showed effectiveness of this approach in treating children and adolescents. Conclusions More double-blinded randomized controlled clinical trials of Korean medicine interventions treating children and adolescents are needed to establish evidence-based treatment.

  • Eosinophilic lung diseases are heterogeneous disorders characterized by varying degrees of pulmonary parenchyma or blood eosinophilia. Causes of eosinophilic lung diseases range from drug ingestion to parasitic or fungal infection as well as idiopathic. The exact pathogenesis of eosinophilic lung disease remains unknown. Urushiol chicken can frequently cause allergic reactions. Contact dermatitis (both local and systemic) represents the most-common side effect of urushiol chicken ingestion. However, there has been no previous report of lung involvement following urushiol chicken ingestion until now. A 66-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with exertional dyspnea. Serial chest X-ray revealed multiple migrating infiltrations in both lung fields, with eosinophilic infiltration revealed by lung biopsy. The patient had ingested urushiol chicken on two occasions within the 2 weeks immediately prior to disease onset. His symptoms and migrating lung lesions were resolved following administration of oral corticosteroids.

  • 목 적: 영아 초기에 혈변으로 발현하는 호산구성 대장염의 임상 양상과 치료 및 예후 등을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법: 2002년 8월부터 2004년 2월까지 부산대학교병원 소아과에 혈변을 주소로 내원한 생후 6개월 미만의 영아 중 말초 혈액에 호산구 증가증이 있고 대장 내시경 검사에서 특징적인 소견과 대장 조직 생검에 대한 병리조직학적 검사에서 호산구의 침윤이 현저한 염증이 소견이 보이는 환자들을 대상으로 임상 및 조직 소견을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결 과: 남아가 5명(83.3%), 여아가 1명(16.7%)이고, 혈변의 최초 발생시 나이는 $79.2{\pm}56.1$일이었다. 모든 환자에게 성장 장애나 식욕 저하 등의 다른 전신 증상은 없었으며, 알레르기의 가족력도 없었다. 수유 방법은 다양했으며, 어머니의 식이 습관에는 우유 섭취가 2예, 땅콩 섭취가 1예 있었고, 아토피 피부염이 동반된 환아가 1명 있었다. 혈액 검사에서 백혈구수가 $11,763{\pm}3,498/mm^3$, 호산구 비율이 $17.0{\pm}4.3%$, 절대 호산구수가 $2,044{\pm}996/mm^3$였다. 대장 내시경 검사 소견은 전예에서 직장과 S상 결장의 점막이 미만성으로 홍반, 울혈 및 과립상 변화를 보였다. 이 중 3명에서 상부 위장관 내시경 검사가 시행되었으나, 특히 소견이 없었다. 대장의 병리조직 검사 소견은 전예에서 심한 호산구 침윤이 동반된 만성 염증 소견을 보였다. 치료로는 2명에서 유단백 가수 분해 분유(HA분유)를 수유하였는데, 1명에서 반응이 있었다. HA 분유에 반응이 없었던 환자를 포함하여 5명에서 스테로이드를 투여하였고, 모든 환자에서 증상과 말초 호산구 수가 정상화된 기간은 $36{\pm}15$일이었다. 치료 후 추적 검사는 평균 $11.6{\pm}8.0$개월 동안 시행했는데 이 기간 중에 증상의 재발은 없었다. 결 론: 영아 초기에 발생하는 호산구성 대장염은 혈변 이외에 다른 성장 장애나 위장관계 증상이 없었고, 음식 알레르기와의 관련성은 없었으며 스테로이드에 좋은 반응을 보였다. 앞으로 호산구성 대장염에 대한 대단위의 연구와 장기간의 추적 관찰이 필요한 것으로 생각된다.
