Abstract
The Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is the most common pathogen causing nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease. Despite the introduction of newer, more effective agents for the treatment of MAC, such as clarithromycin, the response to drug therapy in MAC pulmonary disease remains poor, and often frustrating. When MAC pulmonary disease has not been successfully eradicated using drug treatment alone, surgical management is still recognized to play a significant role. A case of MAC pulmonary disease, in a patient whose MAC disease was successfully treated by pulmonary resection, following the failure of drug therapy containing clarithromycin, is reported. To our knowledge, this is the first case report in Korea that the patient underwent a pulmonary resection for the treatment of MAC pulmonary disease.
MAC는 NTM 폐질환의 가장 흔한 원인균이다. Clarithromycin과 같은 새로운 항생제의 사용에도 불구하고, 아직까지 MAC 폐질환의 내과적 치료성적은 만족스럽지 않으며, 따라서 내과적 치료만으로 균음전에 성공하지 못하였을 때, 폐병변이 국한되어 있다면 폐절제술을 고려하여야 한다. 국내에서는 아직까지 MAC 폐질환의 치료를 위하여 폐절제술을 시행한 증례가 보고되지 않았다. 저자들은 MAC 폐질환을 진단하고 clarithromycin을 포함한 내과적 치료에 실패한 환자에서 폐절제술을 시행 후 균음전에 성공한 환자를 경험하여 이를 보고하는 바이다.
