소아에서 13종 호흡기 바이러스에 의한 급성 하기도 감염의 임상 양상 = Clinical characteristics of acute lower respiratory tract infections due to 13 respiratory viruses detected by multiplex PCR in children

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose:This study was performed to investigate the epidemiologic and clinical features of 13 respiratory viruses in children with acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRIs).
Methods:Nasopharyngeal aspirates were prospectively obtained from 325 children aged 15 years or less from May 2008 to April 2009 and were tested for the presence of 13 respiratory viruses by multiplex real-time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
Results:Viruses were identified in 270 children (83.1%). Co-infections with ≥2 viruses were observed in 71 patients (26.3 %). Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was the most common virus detected (33.2%), followed by human rhinovirus (hRV) (19.1%), influenza virus (Flu A) (16.9%), human metapneumovirus (hMPV) (15.4%), parainfluenza viruses (PIVs) (8.3%), human bocavirus (hBoV) (8.0%), adenovirus (ADV) (5.8%), and human coronavirus (hCoV) (2.2%). Clinical diagnoses of viral ALRIs were bronchiolitis (37.5%), pneumonia (34.5%), asthma exacerbation (20.9%), and croup (7.1%). Clinical diagnoses of viral bronchiolitis and pneumonia were frequently demonstrated in patients who tested positive for RSV, hRV, hMPV, or Flu A. Flu A and hRV were most commonly identified in children older than 3 years and were the 2 leading causes of asthma exacerbation. hRV C was detected in 14 (4.3%) children, who were significantly older than those infected with hRV A (mean±SD, 4.1±3.5 years vs. 1.7±2.3 years; P=0.009). hBoV was usually detected in young children (2.3±3.4 years) with bronchiolitis and pneumonia.
Conclusion:This study described the features of ALRI associated with 13 respiratory viruses in Korean children. Additional investigations are required to define the roles of newly identified viruses in children with ALRIs.

목적:급성 하기도 감염으로 입원하는 소아에서 최근 알려진 hRV C 및 hBoV를 포함하여 13종 호흡기 바이러스의 임상 양상 및 역학을 알아보고자 하였다.
방법:2008년 5월부터 2009년 4월까지 충북대학교병원 소아과에 급성 하기도 감염으로 입원한 소아 중 325명을 대상으로 비인두 흡인물에서 multiplex RT-PCR법을 이용하여 총 13종의 바이러스를 검출하였으며, 대상 소아의 의무기록을 검토하였다.
결과:대상 소아 중 270례(83.1%)에서 호흡기 바이러스가 검출되었으며, 혼합 감염은 71례(26.3%)에서 관찰되었다. 바이러스 검출 빈도는 RSV 108례(33.2%), hRV 62례(19.1%), Flu A 55례(16.9%), hMPV 50례(15.4%), PIV 27례(8.3%), hBoV 26례(8.0%), ADV 19례(5.8%), hCoV 7례(2.2%)였다. 임상진단은 세기관지염 37.5%, 폐렴 34.5%, 급성 천식 악화 20.9%, 크룹 7.1%이었으며, 세기관지염과 폐렴으로 진단된 소아에서 가장 높은 빈도로 검출된 호흡기 바이러스는 RSV, hRV, hMPV, Flu A였다. Flu A와 hRV는 3세 이상의 천식 악화로 진단된 소아에서 가장 높은 빈도로 검출되었다. hRV A와 hRV C는 각각 48명(14.8%)와 14명(4.3%)에서 검출되었으며, hRV C가 검출된 소아의 평균 연령은 4.1±3.5세로 hRV A가 검출된 소아에서의 1.7±2.3세에 비해 유의하게 높았다(P=0.009). hBoV는 세기관지염 또는 폐렴으로 진단된 소아에서 주로 검출되었고, 이들의 평균 연령은 2.3±3.4세였다.
결론:본 연구에서는 한국 소아에서 13종의 바이러스에 의한 하기도 감염의 양상을 관찰하였다. 소아 하기도 감염에서 새로 알려진 바이러스들의 역할을 명확히 알기 위해서는 향후 지속적인 연구가 필요하다.
