초록
목 적 : 소아의 바이러스에 의한 급성 하기도 감염시간기능 이상을 동반하는 경우가 많다. 저자들은 바이러스성 하기도 감염시 간기능 이상이 질병의 중증도에 미치는 영향과 원인 바이러스, 연령별 분포에 대하여 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 2003년 1월부터 2005년 6월까지 급성 하기도 감염으로 한림대학교 강남성심병원 소아과에 입원한 환아들의 비인두 분비물을 Hep-2세포를 이용하여 배양하였으며 의무기록지를 후향적으로 검토하였다. 비말 흡인 검사를 통한 바이러스 배양검사에서 양성결과가 나온 환아를 환자군(AST 혹은 ALT >45)과 대조군(AST 혹은 ALT
Purpose : Viral respiratory tract infection is most common cause for admission to hospital in children. There are many cases with elevated transaminase level in patients with viral lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI). The aim of this study was to compare indexes of disease severity such as duration of assisted ventilation, length of hospital stay and Respiratory Distress Assessment Instrument (RDAI) score in children with viral LRTI with and without elevated transaminase levels and to determine the etiology related to elevated transaminase levels in this patients group. Methods : Virological analysis was done from respiratory specimens obtained from patients with LRTI admitted to Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital from Jan. 2003 to Jun. 2005. Viral diagnosis was made by isolation of viruses employing HEp-2 cell culture from nasopharyngeal aspiration. Medical records of children were reviewed retrospectively. We compared age, sex, RDAI score, Respiratory Rate (RR) score and mean duration of hospital stay between patients with elevated transaminase levels (Patient Group) and patients with normal transaminase levels (Control Group). Results : Viruses were isolated from 181 children with LRTI. 16 cases were excluded according to criteria. 28 cases (17.0%) had elevated transaminase levels (Patient group) and 137 cases (83.0%) had normal transaminase levels (Control group). There were no significant difference in duration of fever, RR score, RDAI score, incidence of
