초록
연구배경 : 결핵성 흉막염의 치료 목적은 발열, 흉통, 기침 등의 증상을 완화하고, 활동성 폐결핵으로의 진행을 막고, 흉막비후를 막고자 하는 것이며, 흉막비후의 결과로 횡격막이나 늑골 운동의 장애가 발생할 수도 있다. 저자들은 흉막비후가 폐기능에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 가를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 결핵성 흉막염으로 진단 후 항결핵제 투여를 성공적으로 마친 57명의 환자를 대상으로 하여 흉부 X-선과 폐기능검사를 시행하였다. 흉막비후의 정도는 흉부 X-선상 심횡격막각(cardiophrenic angle)에서 횡격막의 가장 높은 부위를 지나 흉곽과 만나는 측면 점과 늑골횡격막각(costophrenic angle)의 가장 낮은 점과 그 중간 부위에서 측정한 흉막비후의 세 부위의 평균값으로 하였고, 폐기능검사로 FVC, FIVC, TLC를 측정하여 예상 정상치에 대한 비율(% predicted value)로 표시하였다. 각 흉막비후의 정도에 따른 폐기능검사 수치를 비교 분석하였다. 결 과 : 흉막비후의 정도가 심할수록 FVC, FIVC, TLC의 감소를 보였다. FVC는 grade III(
Background : Tuberculous pleurisy treatments improve symptoms such as fever, chest pain, cough, and prevents the progression to active pulmonary tuberculosis and the development of residual pleural thickening that decrease diaphragm and rib cage movement This study investigated how the degree of residual pleural thickening affects the pulmonary function. Methods : Fifty seven patients who were initially diagnosed as having tuberculous pleurisy, were treated with anti-tuberculous medication for 6 months and had residual pleural thickening between May 1998 and January 2000 at the Eulji university hospital were reviewed. A chest X-ray and pulmonary function test(PFT, Sensormedics 2200) were performed. The predicted value(%) of the forced vital capacity(FVC), forced inspiratory vital capacity(FNC) and total lung capacity(TLC) were measured. The residual pleural thickening was defined the average of the summation in the lateral chest at the level of the imaginary line intersecting from the cardiophrenic angle to the diaphragmatic dome and the lowest part of the costophrenic angle between them. The results were sorted into three grades according to pleural thickness ; <2mm(grade I), 2~10mm(grade II), 10mm(grade III). Results : 1. FVC(% pred) and FIVC(% pred) were statistically different between grade I and III, and II and III. However, there was no difference between the TLC(% pred) between each of the groups. 2. The pleural thickness that cause restrictive dysfunction(FVC<80%) and a statistically difference, is 3mm. Conclusion : The larger the extent of the residual pleural thickness after antituberculous medication, the greater the reduction in the FVC, FIVC, TLC. A pleural thickness of 3mm is recommended as a guideline for diagnosing a restrictive pulmonary dysfunction.
