초록

연구배경 : MAC는 NTM 폐질환의 가장 흔한 원인균이다. Clarithromycin과 같은 새로운 항생제의 사용에도 불구하고, 아직까지 MAC 폐질환의 내과적 치료성적은 만족스럽지 못한 실정이다. 본 연구는 MAC 폐질환 환자를 대상으로 clarithromycin이 포함된 내과적 치료의 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 2000년 1월부터 2003년 12월까지 삼성서울병원 호흡기내과에서 진단된 MAC 폐질환 환자 56명 중 clarithromycin이 포함된 병합 항생제 치료를 6개월 이상 시행한 환자 15명을 대상으로 하여 후향적 조사를 시행하였다. 결 과 : 남자가 6명(40%) 여자가 9명(60%)이었고, 연령의 중앙값은 67세(범위 53-87세)였다. 원인균은 M. intracellulare가 12명(80%), M. avium이 3명(20%)이었고, 객담 도말 양성환자가 13명(87%)이었다. 5명(27%)의 환자는 upper lobe cavitary form, 그리고 10명(67%)은 nodular bronchiectatic form이었다. 모든 환자에서 clarithromycin, rifampin, ethambutol을 투여하였고, 8명(53%)의 환자는 streptomycin을 함께 사용하였다. 치료기간은 중앙값 17개월(범위 8-22개월)이었다. 6개월 이상 치료한 15명 중 8명(53%)에서 균음전에 성공하였다. 6개월 치료 후 단순흉부방사선 촬영에서 10명(67%)이 호전되었고 5명(33%)은 변화가 없었다. 균음전에 실패한 1명은 폐절제술을 시행하였다. 폐절제술을 시행한 환자를 제외하고 12개월 이상 내과적 치료를 시행한 9명 중 4명(44%)이 균음전에 성공하였다. 12개월 치료 후 단순흉부방사선촬영에서 6명(67%)이 호전을 보였다. 전체적으로 내과적 치료 후 균음전에 성공한 환자는 9명(60%)으로, 이 중 5명의 환자는 치료 시작 1-2개월 후부터 배양 음성이 유지되었다. 1명의 환자에서 위장관 장애와 시신경염으로 치료를 중단하였다. 결 론 : MAC 폐질환에서 clarithromycin을 포함한 내과적 치료 후 균음전에 성공한 환자는 60%에 불과하였다. 보다 효과적인 치료약제의 개발이 필요하며, 내과적 치료에 반응하지 않는 환자에서는 폐절제술을 고려하여야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Background : There has been a gradual increase in the number of newly diagnosed cases of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) pulmonary disease. However, the optimal therapeutic regimen for the disease has not yet established and there is no report about the treatment outcome of MAC pulmonary disease in Korea. This study examined the effect of clarithromycin-based regimen in patients with pulmonary MAC disease without a HIV infection. Materials and Methods : Fifty-six patients with pulmonary MAC disease were diagnosed according to the American Thoracic Society criteria from January 2000 to December 2003 at this hospital. Of these patients, 15 were treated with clarithromycin, rifampin, and ethambutol for more than 6 months, together with streptomycin initially (first 6 months) in 8 patients. Results : Six months after the treatment, the sputum cultures converted from positive to negative in 8 patients (53%) and the radiological findings improved in 10 (67%). At 12 months 4 patients (44%) achieved sputum negative conversion and 6 patients out of 9 patients (67%) who were treated for more than 12 months showed radiological improvement. Overall, the sputum findings converted to negative in nine patients (60%) who underwent medical treatment. A pulmonary resection was successfully performed in one patient. Only one patient discontinued the treatment due to side effects such as gastrointestinal intolerance and optic neuritis. Conclusion : A combined regimen containing clarithromycin is relatively safe and tolerable even in the elderly outpatients. However, the results of this combined chemotherapy were unsatisfactory and new companion drugs for MAC pulmonary disease are needed. A resection may be considered for localized disease.
