연구배경 : 최근 고령자 폐결핵은 우리 나라 및 선진국에서 전반적인 인구의 고령화, 여러 가지 만성 소모성 전신질환과의 동반된 질환, 그리고 노인들의 집단 생활 및 빈곤, 면역 저하 등으로 인하여 65세 이상의 노인 층의 결핵 유병률은 증가하는 추세이다. 이에 저자 등은 고령자 폐결핵에 있어서의 임상적인 특정을 관찰하였다. 방법 : 1993년 5월부터 1998년 5월까지 국립의료원 흉부 내과에 입원하였던 65세 이상의 활동성 폐결핵 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 이들 폐결핵 환자는 총 92예 이었으며 이들에서의 성별분포, 증상, 동반된 질환, 진단, 항 결핵제 및 그 부작용 등에 관하여 임상적인 관찰하였다. 결과 : 1) 고령자 폐결핵 92예 중 남자 62예 여자 30예 였으며 남 여 비는 2.1:1이었다. 2) 내원 시 주 증상은 기침(47.8%), 호흡곤란(40.2%), 객담(38.0%), 흉통(12.0%), 식욕부진(10.9%), 발열(9.8%)등의 순이었다. 3) 폐결핵의 과거력이 있는 환자는 38예(41.3%), 과거력이 없는 환자는 54예(58.7%)이었다. 4) 폐결핵과 동반된 질환으로는 만성 폐쇄성 폐 질환 25예 (27.2%), 폐렴 17예(18.5%), 당뇨병 13예(14.1%), 악성종양 10예(10.9%) 등의 순이었다. 5) 결핵피부 반응검사 상 양성인 환자는 43예(82.7%), 음성인 환자 9예(17.3%)이었다. 6) 항산균 객담 도말 검사에서 39예(42.4%), 결핵균 객담 배양검사 14예(15.2%), 객담 TB PCR 10예(10.9%), 기관지 세척액 항산균 도말 검사 2예(2.1%)등에서 각각 양성이었으며 흉부 엑스선 검사로만 진단된 환자는 23예(25.0%)이었다. 7) 단순 흉부 엑스선상 병변의 부위는 우상폐야 50예, 우하폐야 50예로 가장 많았고 좌하폐야가 26예로 가장 적었다. 8) 동반된 폐외 결핵으로는 기관지 결핵 8예(8.7%), 결핵성 흉막삼출 7예(7.6%), 속립성 결핵 5예(5.4%), 장 결핵 2예(2.2%), 신 결핵 1예(1.1%) 이였다. 9) 1차 약으로 치료한 경우가 85예(92.3%)이었고, 2차약으로 치료한 경우 7예(7.6%)이었으며, 항 결핵제의 부작용으로는 INH 3예(말초 다발 신경염, 과만증, 오심), RFP 2예(혈소판감소증, 과민증), EMB 2예(시력감소, S-Cr 증가), PZA 2예(관절염, 간독성)이었다. 결론 : 고령자에서의 폐결핵은 기침, 객담, 호흡곤란 등 그 경미한 증상에 비하여 병변이 심하며, 전형적인 젊은층 폐결핵 환자와 다른 임상 상을 보이고 기타 만성 소모성 전신 질환과도 잘 동반된다. 따라서 고령자 폐결핵은 쉽게 발견되지 않거나 오진될 수도 있다.

To determine the cause of death of prisoners of war during the Korean War (1950-1953), death certificates or medical records were analyzed. Out of 7,614 deaths, 5,013 (65.8%) were due to infectious diseases. Although dysentery and tuberculosis were the most common infectious diseases, parasitic diseases had caused 14 deaths: paragonimiasis in 5, malaria in 3, amoebiasis in 2, intestinal parasitosis in 2, ascariasis in 1, and schistosomiasis in 1. These results showed that paragonimiasis, malaria, and amoebiasis were the most fatal parasitic diseases during the early 1950s in the Korean Peninsula. Since schistosomiasis is not endemic to Korea, it is likely that the infected private soldier moved from China or Japan to Korea.

Objectives: To demonstrate a clinical course and feature of a female patient with a severe liver injury (DILI) during antituberculosis treatment for her intestinal tuberculosis, whom traditional Korean medicine completely recovered. Methods: A female patient with diagnosed as DILI by antituberculosis drugs had been treated with herbal drugs; and then the clinical outcome and biochemical parameters had been monitored. Result: A 45-year old female had taken antituberculosis drugs for about 2 months, and complained severe abdominal discomfort and dyspepsia. The RUCAM score was 10, which met the criteria for DILI (AST 584 IU/L, ALT 1212 IU/L, ALP 100 IU/L, and GGT 161 IU/L, total bilirubin 0.9 mg/dL). She had been treated with herbal drugs and acupuncture as inpatient and outpatient, and then her symptoms had been completely recovered with normalization of hepatic enzymes. Conclusion: This report provides a clinical characteristic for a severe hepatotoxicity induced by antituberculosis drugs, and showed an example of TKM-based application.

The preparation of Bacillus coagulans is used as a therapeutics for human intestinal disorders. However, the bacterium in the preparation is very susceptible to rifampic in and fluoroquinolones. When the preparation is taken with rifampicin or fluoroquinolones, its therapeutic effect can not be expected. So B. coagulans RFR17 resistant to rifampicin was obtained by treating the parent B. coagulans with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. B. coagulans OFR17 was produced by serial passage of B. coagulans RFR17 on agar with 2-fold minimal inhibitory concentration of ofloxacin or ciprofloxacin. B. coagulans OFR17 was resistant to fluoroquinolones up to 16~64 fold higher than that for the original strain. B. coagulans OFR17 also exhibited identical characteristics with the parent strain when they were tested for lactic acid production and growth inhibition of E. coli MB4-01 and Shigella sonnei MB4-10411. From in vitro test, it was also identified that rifampicin and ofloxacin are not inactivated by certain factors of B. coagulans OFR17. Conclusively, B. coagulans OFR17 can be regarded as a promising strain which can be developed as the preparation for the treatment of the intestinal disorders of the tuberculosis patients under rifampicin and ofloxacin therapy.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the current status of infectious disease research in North Korea by analyzing recent trends in medical journals from North Korea in comparison with research from South Korea. Methods: Three medical journals (Preventive Medicine, Basic Medicine, and Chosun Medicine) were analyzed from 2012 to 2016. Articles on tuberculosis (TB), malaria, and parasitic diseases were selected and classified by their subtopics and study areas. Two medical journals published in the South Korea were selected for a comparative analysis of research trends. Results: Of the 2792 articles that were reviewed, 93 were extracted from North Korea journals. TB research in North Korea was largely focused on multi-drug resistant TB and extrapulmonary TB, whereas research in South Korea more frequently investigated non-tuberculous mycobacteria. Research on parasitic diseases in North Korea was focused on protozoan and intestinal nematodes, while the corresponding South Korea research investigated various species of parasites. Additionally, the studies conducted in North Korea were more likely to investigate the application of traditional medicine to diagnosis and treatment than those conducted in South Korea. Conclusions: This study presents an analysis of research trends in preventive medicine in North Korea focusing on infectious diseases, in which clear differences were observed between South and North Korea. Trends in research topics suggest a high prevalence of certain parasitic diseases in North Korea that are no longer widespread in South Korea. The large proportion of studies examining traditional medicine implies a lack of affordable medicine in North Korea.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore how homeless shelter worker and public health nurses perceive health status and health care of homeless shelter residents (HSRs). Methods: Data collected through focus group interviews. In Focus group, in-depth discussions were between 150 to 160 minutes. Data analyzed using Krueger (1998) step analysis. Participants were seven experienced clinical social workers, nurses working homeless shelters, and public health center nurses for dosshouse people. Results: The results were 4 themes and 15 sub-themes: Characteristics of HSRs, perception of health and health problem of HSRs (alcohol related disease, hypertension Diabetics, gastro-intestinal disease, dental disease and infectios disease such as Tuberculosis, musculo-skeletal disease, prostate problem), health care status of HSRs(insufficient health care service, discrimination of medical staff, lack of health care management, low satisfaction community health care services), and the health care proposal of HSRs(nurse in homeless shelter, integrated health care system, understanding of homeless) Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, health care programs focusing on understanding of HSRs and chronic diseases of HSRs increasing steadily although the management system is limited. Therefore, more systemized health care plan and health referral system for homeless people.

환자는 54세 광부로 1991년 1월 낙반사고로 인해 가벼운 골반 골절상을 받았었고, 골절상은 완치되었으나 설사가 지속하고 체중이 심하게 감소하였다. 발병 약 9 개월만에 시행한 대변검사 및 조직 검사에서 분선충중(strongyloidiasis), 포자충중(isosporiasis) 및 인형 세포거대바이러스(heman cytomegalovirus)에 감염된 사실이 확인되었다. Albendazole로 치료하였으나 약 2개월 후 근로복지공사 장성병원에서 난치 상환 하에 퇴원하였으며, 퇴원 1주 후 사망하였다.
