Abstract

Purpose: We investigated the clinical presentation of febrile pediatric patients with acute pyelonephritis (APN) with a mixed urine culture from an aseptic urine sample, and compared with that of those with a single culture. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of 95 patients diagnosed as APN with fever between January 2008 and October 2010 at Korea University Medical Center. We classified the patients with APN into two groups with a positive single culture (S group) and a positive mixed culture (M group) from an aseptic urine sample of suprapubic bladder aspiration or urethral catheterization and compared the fever duration, laboratory markers such as serum white blood cell (WBC) counts and C-reactive protein (CRP) values in peripheral blood, and the presence of hydronephrosis, renal scar and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) between the two groups (If presence of hydronephrosis, scar and VUR=1 and no=0). Results: Total pediatric patients with febrile APN were 95 patients, a positive S group was 89 patients and a positive M group was 6 patients. Fever duration (S vs. M, $4.7{\pm}3.1$ vs. $6{\pm}5.7$ days), serum WBC (S vs. M, $18,630{\pm}6,483$ vs. $20,153{\pm}7,660/{\mu}L$) and CRP (S vs. M, $100.6{\pm}2.46$ vs. $81.1{\pm}0.09\;mg/L$) values, and the presence of hydronephrosis, renal scar and VUR were not different between the two groups. Conclusion: Our data shows that there were no specific differences of clinical manifestation between a positive single urine culture and a positive mixed urine culture in pediatric APN. A mixed urine culture from an aseptic urine sample should be interpreted cautiously.

목적: 발열이 있는 소아 신우 신염에서 단일 세균과 혼합 세균 감염군 두 군간의 임상적인 비교를 하였을 때, 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보이는지 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 2008년 1월부터 2010년 8월까지 ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$대학교 ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$병원과 ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$병원을 대상으로 2년 8개월간 발열이 있는 신우 신염 환아 95명 중, 치골 상부 방광 천자 및 도뇨관 채뇨에 의해 채취한 요 배양 검사 상 단일균 군(S 군) 89명과 혼합균 군(M 군) 6명의 두 군으로 나눠 후향적으로 임상 소견을 비교하였다. 비교 항목으로는 발열 일수, 말초 혈액 백혈구 수치와 C-반응 단백(CRP), 수신증, 방광 요관 역류, 신반흔 형성에 대한 비교를 분석하였다(수신증, 방광 요관 역류 및 신 반흔이 있으면= 1, 없으면= 0). 결과: 단일균 양성인 환아 그룹과 혼합균 양성인 환아 그룹에서 발열 일수(혼합균 vs 단일균 $4.7{\pm}3.1$ vs. $6{\pm}5.7$ days), 혈청 백혈구 수치(혼합균 vs 단일균 $18,630{\pm}6,483$ vs. $20,153{\pm}7,660/uL$)와 C-반응 단백 수치(혼합균 vs 단일균 $100.6{\pm}2.46$ vs. $81.1{\pm}0.09\;mg/L$), 수신증, 방광 요관 역류 그리고 신 반흔 모두 두 군간에 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론: 요로 감염 환아에서 요 배양 검사 상 혼합균 양성이 나온 경우 일반적으로 오염 균주로 생각하고 간과되기 쉬울 수 있으나, 진단 시 주의 깊게 해석하는 것이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
