Abstract

Saprophytic aspergillosis (aspergilloma), a potentially life-threatening disease from the colonization of lung cavities by the ubiquitous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus, has been of surgical concern. Twelve patients with symptomatic aspergilloma underwent operative procedures at Pusan national University Hospital between January 1, 1984 and August 31, 1994. The mean age of the patients was 38.8 years and nine of them had hemoptysis; in two it was massive and life-threatening. Wine of the patients had underlying causes of cavitary lung disease and tuberculosis was the most common cause. Lobectomy was the most commonly performed procedure (in six) . Several major complications including excessive bleeding (2), and pneumonia (2), and empyema with bronchopleural fistula (1) occurred .and one patient died (operative mortality=8.3%). There were no recurrent symptoms in any of the 11 operative survivors during the follow-up period. It is concluded that early, aggressive surgical intervention can provide definite cure in established aspergilloma, even with minimal symptoms.

폐국균증은 Aspergillus fulmigatus라는 곰팡이에 의 해 폐공동에 유발되는 위 협적 인 기 회 감염으로 외 과적 관심의 대상이 되어 왔다. 부산대 학교병 원 흉부외과에서는 1984년 1월부터 1994년 8월라지 폐국균종으로 진단된 12명의 환자에 대해 수술을 시행하였다. 평균 연령은 38.8세이었으며 주증상은 9례에서 객혈이었고 그중 2례에서 생명 을 위협하는 다량객혈이 있었다 9레에서 기존의 공동성 폐질환을 가지고 있었고그주원인은폐결핵이 었다. 가장 흔히 시 행된 술식은 폐엽절제술(6례)이 었다. 주요 술후 합병증으로는 대량출혈 (2례), 폐렴 (2 례), 기관지흥막루를 동반한 농흥(1례)이 발생하였으며 1례의 환자가 사망하여 수술사망률은 8.3%였다 술후 추적관찰기 간동안 증상의 재발례는 1례도 없었다. 결론적으로 폐국균종으로 진단된 경우 증상이 경미하더라도 초기에 적극적인 수술을 시행함으로써 높은 완치효과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
