Background: Allergic rhinitis(AR) is a heterogeneous disorder that despite its high prevalence is often undiagnosed. It is characterized by one or more symptoms including sneezing, itching, nasal congestion, and rhinorrhea. And it is frequently accompanied by symptoms involving the eyes, ears, and throat, including postnasal drainage. There are many different causes of rhinitis in children and adults. Approximately 50$\%$ of all cases of rhinitis are caused by allergy. In the case of rhinitis caused by allergens, symptoms arise as a result of inflammation induced by a gamma globulin E-mediated immune response to specific allergens such as pollens, molds, animal dander, and dust mites. The immune response involves the release of inflammatory mediators and the activation and recruitment of cells to the nasal mucosa. AR is similar to 鼻？, hypersensitive rhinitis in Oriental Medicine. I think hypersensitive rhinitis is including of AR, vasomotor rhinitis and non-allergic rhinitis related with eosinophil increased and so on. Purpose: To perform a clinical analysis of hypersensitive rhinitis including allergic rhinitis and estimate the efficacy of Oriental Medical treatment. Objective: We studied 96 patients who had visited our hospital with complaints of nasal symptoms from March 2000 to February 2002; they had the signs more than 2 - nasal obstruction, watery discharge, sneezing and eye or nasal itching. Parameters Observed & Methods: We treated them with acupuncture & herb-medication. Sometime they used aroma oil or external medicine. 1) the distribution of sex & age groups 2) the clinical type based on duration & the severity of symptom 3) the breakdown of complication & pasl history of Otolaryngologic or allergic disease 4) the clinical assessment and classification of rhinitis(sneezers and runners & blockers) 5) the associated symptoms and signs 6) the classification of Byeonjeung 7) the classification of prescriptions and 8) the efficacy of treatment. Result: 1. In the clinical type of based on duration, the intermittent type was 42.7$\%$ and the persistent was 57.3$\%$. 2. We observed the severity of symptoms based on the quality of life. The mild type was 24.0$\%$ and the moderate-severe was 76.0$\%$. 3. In the clinical assessment and classification of rhinitis, the sneezers and runners type was 69.8$\%$ and the blockers was 30.2$\%$. 4. The most common family history with otolaryngologic or allergic disease were allergic rhinitis(17.7$\%$), urticaria, paranasal sinusitis and T.B.(3.1$\%$). 5. The most common past history with otolaryngologic or allergic disease were paranasal sinusitis(14.6$\%$), atopic dermatitis and asthma(8.3$\%$). It was 31.3$\%$ they had a family history and 44.8$\%$, past history. 6. The most common complication was paranasal sinusitis(15.6$\%$). In decreasing order the others were otitis media with effusion(9.4$\%$), GERD and headache(6.3$\%$), asthma, bronchitis, nasal bleeding and allergic dermatitis(5.2$\%$). 7. Classification through Byeonjeung : ⅰ) 39 cases(34.9$\%$) were classified as showing Deficiency syndrome. The insuffficiency of Qi was 17.7$\%$, deficiency of Kidney-Yang, 12.5$\%$ and Lung-Cold, 10.4$\%$. ⅱ) 57 cases(59.4$\%$) were classified as showing Excess syndrome. The Fever of YangMing-meridian was 35.4$\%$, Lung-Fever, 24.0$\%$. 8. The efficacy of treatments showed: an improvement in 22cases(22.9$\%$); an improvement partly in 24 cases(25.0$\%$); no real improvement or changes in 16 cases(16.7$\%$); and couldn't check the results 18cases(18.6$\%$). Conclusion: We suggest that this study could be utilized as a standard of clinical Oriental Medical treatment when we treat hypersensitive rhinitis including allergic rhinitis.

목적: 코로나19 팬데믹(pandemic) 시기 이후 2022년 봄-여름철에 respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) 폐렴 환자들이 급증하는 추이를 보여 우리나라의 소아청소년 인구가 집중된 세종시의 유일한 신생 대학병원에서 RSV 폐렴으로 입원하는 건강한 소아청소년들의 임상 양상 및 항생제 사용에 대해 평가하고자 하였다. 방법: 2022년 3월부터 2023년 4월까지 약 1년 2개월의 기간 동안 RSV 폐렴을 주 상병으로 입원한 18세 이하의 건강한 소아청소년을 대상으로 의무기록을 후향적으로 조사하였고 만성질환자 및 임상적, 영상의학적 기준을 바탕으로 지역사회 획득 폐렴의 정의에 합당하지 않은 경우는 제외되었다. 데이터를 수집한 결과 주사 항생제를 사용한 환자가 예상보다 많아(46%) 주사 항생제를 사용한 군과 사용하지 않은 군으로 나누어 추가 분석하였다. 결과: 해당 연구 기간 동안 RSV 폐렴 상병으로 입원한 116명의 아이들 중 만성질환자 및 폐렴 정의에 합당하지 않은 14명이 제외되어 총 102명의 환자들이 분석되었다. 그 결과, 2023년의 경우 통상적인 유행을 따르지 않는 3월에서 5월 사이에 환자수가 급증하였고 본 연구에서의 중앙값 나이는 17개월로 기존 12개월 미만에서 유병이 높다는 데이터들에 비해 나이가 많았고 증상 지속 기간도 더 길고 초기 흉부 방사선 촬영에서 폐 침윤 소견이 많았다. 전체 중 46%에서 정주용 항생제가 투약되었고 항생제 투약군에서 비투약군에 비해 더 높은 염증수치(C-reactive protein, procalcitonin)를 보였으며 초기 흉부 방사선 촬영에서 침윤 소견이 더 많았고 총 발열 기간 또한 유의하게 높았다. 마지막으로 입원기간은 항생제 투약군과 비투약군 간의 차이가 없었다. 결론: 본 연구를 통해 보았을 때 발열 기간이 지속될수록, 병원에 내원할 때 더 높은 염증수치 및 흉부 방사선 촬영에서 폐침윤 소견이 있을 수록 담당의사가 초기에 정주용 항생제를 처방하였을 것으로 생각되나 전체 중 정주용 항생제 투약군이 46%로 여러 선행 연구들과 비교 시 높은 비율을 보이므로, 본 기관에서 바이러스 감염 환자에서의 항생제 사용 적절성에 대한 재검토가 필요하며 이후의 데이터를 지속적으로 취합하여 세밀한 추가 분석이 필요하다.
