Abstract

Purpose : Atopic findings may be associated with severity of pneumonia in 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) infection, which could suggest a possible association between atopic findings and the severity of viral infections. Thus, we studied association between atopic findings and severity of disease in children with H1N1 influenza infection. Methods : A retrospective study was performed in 74 children admitted in a single tertiary institute and confirmed as H1N1 patients by reverse transcriptase (RT) - polymerase chain reaction (PCR). They were divided into 2 groups according to the severity of pneumonia. We evaluated whether the atopic finding is risk factor between the two groups. Results : Children with severe pneumonia had higher percentages of serum eosinophilia (88% vs 40%, P <0.001), asthma (65% vs 35%, P =0.011), allergic rhinitis (71% vs 40%, P =0.009), and IgE level (P =0.007). We found positive correlations between aeroallergen sensitizations and severity of pneumonia (82% vs 53%, P =0.007). Conclusion : Among patients with H1N1 pneumonia, asthma and atopic findings are risk factors for severity of pneumonia.

목 적:신종 인플루엔자 A (H1N1)는 2009년 4월 멕시코, 미국 등에서 확진환자가 처음 보고된 이후, 국내에서도 5월 첫 환자가 보고된 이후 전 세계적으로 급격하게 증가하였다. 미국의 한 보고에 의하면 폐렴이 입원의 가장 흔한 원인이고 입원환자 중 천식이 가장 흔한 기저질환으로 보고된 바 있다. 따라서 저자들은 2009 신종 인플루엔자 A (H1N1) 감염에 의한 폐렴 환아에서 천식을 포함한 아토피 소견이 폐렴의 중증도에 미치는 영향을 알고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법: 2009년 10월부터 2010년 3월까지 발열, 기침, 호흡곤란, 빈호흡, 저산소증 등의 호흡기 증상과 함께 흉부 방사선상 폐침윤이 있고 청진상 수포음을 가진 폐렴으로 입원한 환아 중 비인두 분비물 도말을 이용하여 실시간 유전자 증폭검사법(real-time polymerase chain reaction)에 의해 신종 인플루엔자 감염으로 확진된 환아 74명을 대상으로 2005년 WHO의 폐렴의 중증도 분류에 따라 중증군과 비중증군으로 분류, 각 군에서 천식병력을 포함한 아토피 소견 및 검사실 소견 등을 비교하였다. 항원감작은 Pharmacia UniCAP system을 이용 집먼지진드기(D. pteronyss, D. farinae), Cat fur, Dog hair, Ragweed, Alternaria, Egg white, Soybean 등 8종의 흡입 및 음식 항원에 대한 특이 IgE를 검사하여 1가지 이상의 항원에 양성일 때 아토피 소견 양성으로 하였다.결 과:대상 환아 74명의 평균 연령은 $5.8{\pm}2.4$세로 나타났고, 중증군이 34례(45.9%), 비중증군이 40례(54.1%)를 차지하였고, 남녀 비는 양 군에서 의미 있는 차이가 없었다. 증상은 발열과 기침이 가장 흔하였고, 구토, 설사, 비루, 호흡곤란 순으로 나타났다. 징후로는 천명이 가장 흔하였고 중증군에서 의미 있게 높게 나타났다. 방사선학적 소견으로 기관지 폐렴이 가장 흔하였고 두 군간의 의미 있는 차이는 없었다. 검사학적 소견 중 림프구감소증(<1,000/mm3 ), CRP의증가 및 CPK (>240 U/L), D-dimer (>500 mcg/L)의 증가가 중증 폐렴군에서 각각 의미 있게 높게 나타났다. 비만(BMI >95 percentile)이 중증 폐렴군에서 의미 있게 높게 나타났다. 기관지 천식의 과거력은 36례(48.6%)에서 있었고 입원 당시 천명의 동반은 58례(78.4%)에서 볼 수 있었으며 천식 과거력 및 천명의 동반이 각각 중증 폐렴군에서 각각 의미있게 높게 나타났다. 혈중 호산구 및 항원 감작 빈도 역시 중증 폐렴군에서 각각 의미 있게 높게 나타났으나, 혈중 IgE의 의미 있는 증가는 볼 수 없었다. 중증 폐렴을 일으킬 위험도, OR (95% CI)는 비만(BMI >95 percentile)이 6.8 (1.4-34.3), 호산구증가증이 11.3 (3.3-38.1), 림프구의 감소가 10.9 (3.6-33.1), 환아의 천식병력이 3.41 (1.3-8.9), 알레르기 비염 병력이 OR 3.6 (1.4-9.5), 부모의 천식이 OR 5.8 (1.1-29.8), 부모의 알레르기 비염이 OR 3.0 (1.1-7.8), 청진 상 천명음 19.8 (2.5-160.1), 흡입 항원 감작시 4.2 (1.4-12.4)로 나타났다. 결 론:신종 인플루엔자 A (H1N1) 감염에 의한 폐렴 환아에서 천식과 알레르기 비염의 과거력과 가족력, 흡입 항원의 감작을 포함한 아토피 소견이 폐렴의 중증도에 상당한 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각된다.
