목적 : 저감마글로불린혈증은 모든 신증후군에서 관찰되고 있으나 그 병태생리는 알려져 있지 않다. 미세 변화 신증후군 환아들의 혈청 IgG와 알부민 값 간의 상관관계를 분석하고자 하였다. 방법 : 신증후군으로 진단된 46명의 환아들(단백뇨 $>40mg/m^2/h$, 혈청 알부민 값 <2.5g/dL의 초발 입원 시의 IgG, 알부민 및 층 콜레스테롤 값을 취하고, 각 지표간의 상관관계를 통계학적으로 분석하였다. 결과 : 신증후군 환아들의 평균 알부민, IgG 및 총 콜레스테롤 값은 각각 $1.7{\pm}0.3g/dL,\;368{\pm}143mg/dL,\;431{\pm}78mg/dL$이었다. 혈청 알부민과 총 콜레스테롤 값의 관계에서, 두 지표는 서로 반비례를 보였다(r=0.58, P=0.0001), 한편 알부민과 IgG 값들 간의 관계에서 정비례 관계를 보였다. (r=0.37, P=0.01). 결론 : 신증후군에서 IgG 값은 알부민 값과 연관이 있으며, 소변 내 단백 손실의 정도를 반영한다. 이러한 현상을 밝히기 위한 추가 연구가 필요 할 것으로 보인다. Purpose : Hypogammaglobulinemia has been observed in nephrotic syndrome, but its pathophysiology remains unknown. We evaluated the relationship between the serum IgG and at bumin levels for children with minimal change nephrotic syndrome(MCNS). Methods : The levels of immunoglobulin G(IgG), albumin and total cholesterol of a total of 46 children with MCNS(proteinuria $>40mg/m^2/h$, and serum albumin level <2.5g/dL were analyzed. Results : The mean values of albumin, IgG and total cholesterol in MCNS children were $1.7{\pm}0.3g/dL,\;368{\pm}143mg/dL\;and\;431{\pm}78mg/dL$, respectively. There was an inverse correlation between the albumin values and the total cholesterol values(r=0.68, P=0.0001), whereas there was a direct-proportional correlation between albumin values and the IgG values(r=0.4, P=0.01). Conclusion : The IgG level is associated with albumin level, and it may reflect the severity of urinary protein loss in MCNS. Further studies are needed to evaluate this phenomenon.

A case of idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis with seasonal recurrence

곽가영,이나영,이문희,이수영,정승연,강진한,정대철 대한소아청소년과학회 2009 Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics (CEP) Vol.52 No.2

Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare disease affecting mostly children. This disorder is characterized by recurrent episodes of hemoptysis, bilateral diffuse pulmonary infiltrates, and iron-deficiency anemia. An acute fulminant alveolar hemorrhage can be fatal due to respiratory failure, while chronic hemorrhage leads to hemosiderin-laden macrophages and pulmonary fibrosis. Genetic, autoimmune, allergic, environmental, and metabolic mechanisms of pathogenesis have been suggested, but the etiology of IPH remains unknown. We report on a 9-year-old girl with idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis who showed seasonal recurrences without cause.

승소진,곽가영,이수영,강진한 대한소아감염학회 2008 Pediatric Infection and Vaccine Vol.15 No.2

Purpose : We evaluated the prevalence and clinical, microbiological features of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPT) in pediatric patients. Methods : We retrospectively reviewed medical records of pediatric patients diagnosed with EPT at The Catholic University of Korea, Incheon St. Mary`s Hospital between 2000 and 2007. Results : Of 109 patients diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB), 12 patients (11%) were admitted with EPT. At 2006-2007, the proportion of patients with EPT among patients with TB was the highest (20%) comparing with last 6 years. The ratio of male to female patients was 1.4:1 and the mean age was 9.2 years (range, 3 months-15 years). The involved sites were pleura in 5 (41.6%), central nervous system in 3 (25%), miliary TB in 2 (16.7%), gastrointestinal tract in 1 (8.3%) and bone and joint in 1 (8.3%). The most common symptom at admission was fever (91.6%) and mean duration of fever was 15.8 days (range, 0-47 days) in spite of the proper treatment. Confirmed rate for acid fast bacillus stain, culture, and polymerase chain reaction were 33.3%, 41.6% and 41.6%. Of 5 culture proven cases, 4 (80%) were resistant to more than one antituberculosis drugs. Eleven patients recovered without complication and 1 patient died. Conclusion : Total incidence of TB decreased steadily according to the nationwide survey. However, our results suggest that the proportion of diagnosis with EPT among diagnosis with TB in children has increased. Microbiological diagnosis of EPT in children was more difficult than that of pulmonary TB. And drug resistance rate has increased.

이수영,곽가영,목혜린,김종현,허재균,이경일,박준수,마상혁,김황민,강진한,Lee, Soo Young,Kwak, Ga Young,Mok, Hye Rin,Kim, Jong Hyun,Hur, Jae Kyun,Lee, Kyung Il,Park, Joon Su,Ma, Sang Hyuk,Kim, Hwang Min,Kang, Jin Han 대한소아청소년과학회 2008 Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics (CEP) Vol.51 No.11

Purpose : This study was undertaken to evaluate the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of Td booster immunization in early preadolescents of Korea. Methods : Healthy preadolescents, who had been vaccinated with 4 or 5 doses of DTaP vaccines until 6 years old age, were enrolled in this study from August 2006 to April 2007. Diphtheria and tetanus anti-toxoid antibodies in sera were measured by ELISA just before vaccination and 4 weeks after vaccination to evaluate immunogenicity. Local and systemic adverse reactions observed for 4 weeks after vaccination to access reactogenicity. Results : 183 preadolescents were enrolled and mean age was $11.40{\pm}0.51$ years old. All subjects achieved seroprotective diphtheria and tetanus anti-toxoid antibodies (titers ${\geq}0.1IU/mL$) after Td booster vaccination. Among 183 vaccinees, 73.8% showed local adverse reactions and 37.2% systemic adverse reactions. Pain at injection site (66.1%) was the most common local reaction, and the most commonly shown systemic reaction was myalgia (17.5%). The adverse reactions were spontaneously relieved within three days after vaccination. Conclusion : Td vaccine in this study was high immunogenic and showed an acceptable tolerance in Korean preadolescents. Td booster vaccination at 11-12 years old is the most effective method to increase compliance of the vaccination and to decrease the incidence of diphtheria and tetanus. 목 적: 11-12세 연령에 Td 백신 1차 추가접종을 하는 방법에 대한 면역원성과 안전성을 평가하기 위해 연구를 계획하였다. 방 법: 2006년 8월부터 2007년 4월까지 연구병원 소아청소년과 외래에 Td 백신 접종을 받기 위해 내원한 11-12세의 소아를 대상으로 하였다. 면역원성을 평가하기 위하여 접종 전 및 접종 4주 후에 혈액을 채취하여 디프테리아 및 파상풍에 대한 항독소 항체가를 측정하였고 이상반응을 평가하기 위해 관찰 일지에 국소 및 전신 이상반응을 기록하였다. 결 과: 총 183명이 연구에 참여하였고 이들의 평균 연령은 $11.40{\pm}0.51$세이었다. Td 백신 접종 전후의 GMC는 디프테리아에 대해서는 10배, 파상풍에 대해서는 26배 이상 증가하였고, 접종 후 디프테리아와 파상풍에 대한 항체 양전율(항체가 ${\geq}0.1IU/mL$ 기준)은 100%이었다. 디프테리아의 접종 전 항체가가 0.1 IU/mL 이상인 피험자는 142명(77.6%)이었고 접종 후 항체가가 1.0 IU/mL 이상인 피험자는 174명(95.1%)이었다. 파상풍의 접종 전 항체가가 0.1 IU/mL 이상인 피험자는 146명(79.8%)이었고 접종 후 항체가가 1.0 IU/mL 이상인 피험자는 181명(98.9%)이었다. 접종 후 국소 이상반응이 73.8%, 전신 이상반응은 37.2%에서 발생하였으나 대부분 3일 이내 소실되었다. 결 론: 매우 높은 면역원성과 심하지 않은 이상반응을 고려할 때, Td 백신의 접종을 11-12세 시행하는 것은 디프테리아와 파상풍에 대한 가장 경제적인 방어 수단이며, 접종 순응도를 효율적으로 높일 수 있는 방법이다.

최의윤,이수영,곽가영,마상혁,박준수,김황민,강진한 대한의사협회 2011 대한의사협회지 Vol.54 No.9

Diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccination must currently be administered three times starting at 2 months of age, at intervals of two months, with the first and second boosters administered at 15 to 8 months and 4 to 6 years of age. A high rate of vaccination is maintained, but studies of the efficiency and safety of booster vaccination are lacking. This study evaluated the immunogenicity and safety of the DTaP booster vaccine. Seventy-two infants who had been vaccinated with the first booster and 78 children who had been vaccinated with the second booster were enrolled in this study. Local and systemic adverse reactions after vaccination were recorded. Sera obtained before and 1 month after booster vaccination were analyzed for antibodies to diphtheria and tetanus toxoid, and anti-pertussis toxin. Diphtheria: The GMT was increased. Tetanus: The geometric mean antibody titer (GMT) was increased. Pertussis: The GMT was increased by 13.72 times and 14.37 times after the first and the second additional vaccination, respectively. Although the seroconversion rate was low prior to the first booster, the average amount of anti-pertussis toxin antibodies before the first additional vaccination was 143.37 EU/mL, which rose to 261.88 EU/mL after the vaccination. The seroconversion rate also increased to 100%. Adverse reactions showed spontaneous resolution within a few days after vaccination. After the second additional vaccination, there was a statistically significant increase in the manifestation of myalgia compared to after the first additional vaccination. In conclusion, DTaP booster vaccination was effective in Korean children, demonstrating that modifications to the current regimen would be unnecessary.

황희승,이나영,한승범,곽가영,이수영,정승연,강진한,정대철 대한소아청소년과학회 2008 Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics (CEP) Vol.51 No.11

Purpose:To investigate the discriminative ability of pediatric index of mortality 2 (PIM2) and pediatric risk of mortality III (PRISM III) in predicting mortality in children admitted into the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods:We retrospectively analyzed variables of PIM2 and PRISM III based on medical records with children cared for in a single hospital ICU from January 2003 to December 2007. Exclusions were children who died within 2 h of admission into ICU or hopeless discharge. We used Students t test and ANOVA for general characteristics and for correlation between survivors and non-survivors for variables of PIM2 and PRISM III. In addition, we performed multiple logistic regression analysis for Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit, receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) for discrimination, and calculated standardized mortality ratio (SMR) for estimation of prediction. Results:We collected 193 medical records but analyzed 190 events because three children died within 2 h of ICU admission. The variables of PIM2 correlated with survival, except for the presence of post-procedure and low risk. In PRISM III, there was a significant correlation for cardiovascular/neurologic signs, arterial blood gas analysis but not for biochemical and hematologic data. Discriminatory performance by ROC showed an area under the curve 0.858 (95% confidence interval; 0.779-0.938) for PIM2, 0.798 (95% CI; 0.686-0.891) for PRISM III, respectively. Further, SMR was calculated approximately as 1 for the 2 systems, and multiple logistic regression analysis showed χ2 (13)=14.986, P=0.308 for PIM2, χ2 (13)= 12.899, P=0.456 for PRISM III in Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit. However, PIM2 was significant for PRISM III in the likelihood ratio test (χ2 (4)=55.3, P<0.01). Conclusion:We identified two acceptable scoring systems (PRISM III, PIM2) for the prediction of mortality in children admitted into the ICU. PIM2 was more accurate and had a better fit than PRISM III on the model tested.

이지은,이윤희,남찬희,곽가영,김종현,허재균,강진한,이수영 대한소아감염학회 2010 Pediatric Infection and Vaccine Vol.17 No.1

Purpose:We aimed to investigate the clinical and phylogenetic characteristics of Escherichia coli Urinary Tract Infections (E. coli UTI). Methods:We enrolled patients with culture-proven E. coli UTI, who were admitted at the study hospital from September 2008 to August 2009. We investigated clinical data of patients with E. coli UTI and characteristics of isolated E. coli strains. The phylogenetic groups were classified using triplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and the distribution of nine virulent genes was determined by multiplex PCR. Results:A total of 47 patients have participated in this study. Thirty (63.8%) were under 6 months; eight (17.0%) were between 6-12 months; and nine (19.1%) were over 12 months. We compared two age groups between under 6-month and over 6-month. In the age group under 6-month, higher proportion of male (P=0.002) and group B2 strains (P=0.020) were observed. In contrast, higher proportion of female and group non-B2 strains were observed in age group over 6- month. Frequencies of papC, papGII, papGIII, sfa/foc, hlyC, cnf1, fyuA, iroN and iucC were estimated as 68.1%, 57.4%, 42.6%, 46.8%, 46.8%, 31.9%, 87.2%, 48.9% and 63.8%, respectively. In the comparison of phylogenetic groups, group B2 showed higher distribution of virulent genes, while group D included more strains resistant to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMZ) than other groups. Conclusion:We showed the age group-specific difference in the distribution of sex ratios and phylogenetic groups; more male and group B2 strains in age group under 6-month, while more female and group non-B2 in age group over 6-month. However, further evaluation including larger number of patients will be necessary to confirm above thesis in future molecular epidemiological studies. 목적:E. coli UTI의 임상양상과 UPEC의 미생물학적 특징을 확인하여 연령별, 계통군별 연관성을 평가하고자 하였다. 방법:2008년 9월부터 2009년 8월까지 요로감염으로 입원하여 배양검사에서 E. coli가 검출된 환아를 대상으로 하였다. 환자의 임상양상과 검사소견을 확인하였고, 검출된 E. coli를 계통학적으로 분류하고 독성유전자의 분포와 항생제 내성률을 조사하였다. 결과:총 47명의 E. coli UTI 환아가 연구에 참여하였다. 연령군별로 6개월 미만 30명(63.8%), 6-12개월은 8명(17.0 %), 12개월 이상 9명(19.1%)이었다. 6개월 미만 연령군에는 남아(70.0%)가 많았고 6개월 이상 연령군에는 여아(76.5%)가 많았다(P=0.002). 계통학적 분석에서 UPEC의 대부분(80.8%)은 B2 혹은 D군에 속하였다. 연령군별로는 6개월 미만 연령군에는 B2군(80.0 %)가 많았고 6개월 이상 연령군에는 non-B2군(52.9%)가 많았다(P=0.020). 계통군별로는 B2군에는 몇몇 독성유전자의 높은 분포가 확인되었고(P<0.05), D군에는 TMP/SMX에 내성을 보이는 균주들이 높은 빈도로 포함되었다(P=0.031). 결론:E. coli UTI 환아 중 6개월 미만과 6개월 이상 연령군은 남녀비와 계통군의 분포 차이를 보였다. 즉, 6개월 미만 연령군에는 남아와 B2군의 분포가 높았고, 6개월 이상 연령군에는 여아와 non-B2군의 분포가 높았다. 연령별 계통군의 분포 차이는 향후 연구를 통해 검증이 필요할 것이다.

Nasopharyngeal Pneumococcal Carriage of Children Attending Day Care Centers in Korea: Comparison between Children Immunized with 7-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine and Non-immunized

김경효,홍정연,이현주,곽가영,남찬희,이수영,오은상,Jigui Yu,Moon H. Nahm,강진한 대한의학회 2011 Journal of Korean medical science Vol.26 No.2

To confirm the effect of 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7), pneumococcal nasopharyngeal (NP) carriage was compared between vaccinated (3 + 1 doses PCV7) and non-vaccinated children. Vaccinated subjects were recruited from highly vaccinated regions (≥ 60%), Seoul and Incheon whereas control subjects were recruited from Jeju Island where vaccination rates are low (< 15%). NP swabs were obtained from 400children aged 18-59 months. Serotype and antibiotic susceptibility was analyzed. Pneumococcal carriage rate was 18.0% (36/200) and 31.5% (63/200) for the vaccinated and control group, respectively. Among those vaccinated, 41.7% (15/36) of the serotypes were vaccine-related type (VRT: 6A, 6C, 19A) with the most common serotype 6C. The next common type was non-typable/non-capsule 30.6% (11/36) followed by non-vaccine type 16.7% (6/36) and vaccine type (VT) serotypes were found in only 11.1% (4/36). In contrast, 52.4% (33/63) of the isolates in the control group were VT. Resistance rates for penicillin and erythromycin were lower in the vaccine group (vaccine vs control; penicillin 45.2% vs 71.4%, erythromycin 74.2% vs 90.5%, P < 0.05). Multi-drug resistance was also lower in vaccinated subjects (vaccine vs control; 45.2% vs 69.8%, P < 0.05). PCV7reduces carriage in VT which leads to replacement of pneumococci by antibiotic susceptible VRT or non-vaccine type strains.

패혈성 뇌증은 직접적인 뇌실질 침범 없이 두개외 감염성 질환에 의해 간접적으로 유발되는 뇌 기능부전을 일컫는다. 이는 패혈증의 원인이 되는 모든 질환에 의해 발생될 수 있으므로 임상에서 드물지 않게 경험할 수 있다. 또한 원인 질환의 전형적인 증상보다는 신경계 증상이 주 증상인 경우에는 진단적 오류를 범할 수 있으므로 그 개념에 대한 이해가 필요하다. 저자들은 주 임상양상이 혼수와 간효소치 급증이었던 환아를 반복적인 진찰과 복부 영상검사를 통해 최종적으로 급성 충수염에 병발된 패혈성 뇌증으로 진단한 1례를 경험하여 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고한다. Septic encephalopathy is defined as brain dysfunction secondary to sepsis. It occurs in septic patients as a manifestation of multi-organ dysfunction. Without evidence of intracranial infection, various extracranial infections causing severe sepsis may induce septic encephalopathy. We report a patient with septic encephalopathy complicating acute appendicitis. Initially, the patient presented with impaired mental state and raised liver enzymes.
