Leukopenia is a commonly encountered adverse event experienced by cancer patients. It can cause serious infections and delays in chemotherapy. We describe a case of leukopenia induced by colon cancer chemotherapy. After acupuncture treatment, the patient showed improvement in the leukopenia and completed the scheduled chemotherapy without delay or additional administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). Therefore, acupuncture may have a substantial benefit for treatment of leukopenia in this patient.

외인성 지방성 폐렴은 자세한 병력 청취 없이는 의심하기 힘든 비교적 드문 질환이다. 저자들은 비특이적인 임상 증상과 방사선 소견을 보인 환자에서 스쿠알렌을 섭취한 과거력에 주목하였으며 외인성 지방성 폐렴을 의심 하에 기관지폐세척술 및 폐 생검을 통하여 확진하였다.

Paraquat is a non-selective contact herbicide. When it is consumed, it may cause fatal disorders such as acute renal failure, hepatic dysfunction, and progressive respiratory failure. In spite of many efforts to cure patients poisoned with paraquat, the mortality rate still remain high. In this case, after using Gamdutanghaphwangryunhaedoktang-gamibang and Cheongsangboha-tang we got positive result in hepato-renal function, but progressive respiratory failure was unstoppable.

Background and Aim: Oxaliplatin hypersensitivity is a well-known adverse reaction but the prevalence varies and data for frequency and clinical features have not been reported for Korea. Here we evaluates the prevalence and risk factors for hypersensitivity reactions to oxaliplatin after chemotherapy. Methods: Clinical information on all patients treated with oxaliplatin was retrospectively reviewed in electronic medical records between August 2009 and July 2010 in Seoul National University Bundang Hospital. Patients who experienced hypersensitivity reactions to oxaliplatin were compared with those who did not. Results: A total of 393 patients received oxaliplatin, with 42 (10.7%) experiencing hypersensitivity reactions including three cases of anaphylaxis. Median cycle of the first hypersensitivity reaction was 8. Reactions correlated with lower dexamethasone doses. Other variables were not significant. Conclusions: The prevalence of hypersensitivity reactions was 10.7%, symptoms being mostly mild and cutaneous. Lower dexamethasone doses could be a predictor for hypersensitivity reactions to oxaliplatin.

Coccidioidomycosis is a rare systemic fungal infection in Korea. However, the incidence of coccidioidomycosis has recently begun to increase due to the increasing incidence of people traveling overseas to endemic areas. In previously reported cases of coccidioidomycosis in Korea, the radiographic findings usually showed a solitary pulmonary nodule, pleural effusion, cavitation, and hilar lymphadenopathy, but no miliary nodules. We report a case of disseminated coccidioidomycosis with miliary nodules in an immunocompetent patient. A 32 year old male, who had traveled in Corona, New Mexico, USA, was admitted for an evaluation of persistent cough with fever. Chest radiography revealed initially diffuse multiple small nodules that appeared to be miliary tuberculosis. However, a subsequent evaluation revealed that he had disseminated coccidioidomycosis.
