In order to know the incidence of risk factors predisposing children to pneumonia, case control study was carried out in six MCH Model Counties in 1986. Single factor analysis showed 29 factors were responsible for the increasing incidence of pneumonia. 13 of 29 factors were major pneumonia risk factors by the standard of means greater than 15 and OR greater than 3. They were malnutrition, anemia, riskets, pneumonia history, repeated colds, chronic diarrhoea, congenital malformation, asphyxia neonatorum, amniotic fluid aspiration, artificial feeding, too much clothing, family member with acute respiratory illness (ARI) and contact with ARI patients. Among them 7 factors were related to individual health condition. Therefore, it is important to improve general health of children so as to reduce the incidence of pneumonia.

Epidemiologic study of children pneumonia was carried out by the Capital Institute of Pediatrics in collaboration with six medical schools in six MCH Model Counties. Data indicated that pneumonia was not only the No. 1 cause of death in order among infants and children in community but also in hospitals, and the No.1 disease of children for hospitalization. The average morbidity of pneumonia in infants in study areas was 158.46 per 1000. The average mortality of pneumonia was 740.18 per hundred thousand. Both the incidence and the case fatality rate were the highest in infants. The incidence was still high in 1-2-year old group, but the case fatality rate became lower. Both the incidence and the case fatality rate were the lowest in 3-14-year old group. 92.45% of fatal cases of pneumonia were infant.

Infant mortality rate (IMR) and its relation to the utilization of health services was studied in twelve villages of ICDS block Rajsamand, Rajasthan from 1st April, 1985 to 31st March, 1986. The total number of births and infant deaths were 386 and 74, respectively during one year, computing 37.44 as birth rate and 191.70 as IMR. Neonatal deaths contributed 51.4%, the most common causes of which were septicemia (28.9%), birth asphyxia (23.6%), extreme prematurity (18.4%) and tetanus neonatorum (13.1%). The common causes of deaths in post-neonatal period were pneumonia (36.1%), diarrhea (25.0%), complications of measles (16.7%) and that of pertussis (8.3%). Extreme under utilization of preventive, promotive and curative MCH services was found to be one of the major factors for very high IMR prevailing in the region.

A case of rheumateid arthritis (RA) with pernicious anemia (PA) and wandering multiple patchy densities in bilateral lung fields is reported. A 72-year-old woman was hospitalized in February 1994, because of cough. She had already advanced RA (Class IV, Stage IV). She showed macrocytic and hyperchromic anemia as follows ; red-cell count (RBC), 176 x 10(4)/microliters; hemoglobin (Hb),7.2 g/dl; hematocrit (Ht), 21.0% ; MCV, 119.3 fl; and MCH, 40.9 pg. Chest roentgenogram revealed multiple patchy densities in bilateral lung fields and there was no response to the administration of antibiotic agents. From these clinical pictures bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) was highly suspected. After steroid injection into the joint space, the abnormal lung shadows disappeared. Anemia had been recovering spontaneously, but recurred in July. The results of blood examination were as follows ; RBC, 162 x 10(4)/microliters; Hb, 6.7ng/dl; Ht, 19.1%; MCV, 117.9 fl; and MCH, 41.4 pg. Anti-intrinsic factor antibody was positive. The level of serum vitamin B12 was low, 76 pg/ml. Sternal bone marrow aspiration showed magaloblastic changes with hypersegmentation of granulocytes. PA was diagnosed and improvement was noted after the intramuscular administration of vitamin B12. Subjective symptoms based on RA did not change during the clinical course. It is suggested that the pathogenesis about the combination of RA, BOOP and PA is related to common immunological abnormalities in our patient. A case of RA with PA and BOOP has not been reported previously, thus this case is considered clinically valuable.
