Abstract

Purpose : The aims of this study were to analyze the clinical characteristics of children with Kikuchi's disease(KD) at a medical center and to investigate the etiologic role of human herpesvirus 8(HHV 8) or Epstein-Barr virus(EBV) in children with KD. Methods : Twenty six children who were diagnosed as KD between Jan. 1998 and Dec. 2005 were included. Medical records were reviewed on the clinical characteristics of children with KD. Follow up data were collected by chart review and telephone contact. Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) was performed in order to detect HHV 8 DNA, and in situ hybridization(ISH) was perfomed in order to detect EBV RNA from 20 lymph node tissues. Results : There were 15 girls and 11 boys with a mean age of 13 years. Posterior cervical lymph nodes were involved in 72 percent(18/25) of the patients. Extracervical lymphadenopathy was associated in one patient. Fever was an associated symptom in 31 percent(8/26) of the patients. Leukopenia was observed in six (46 percent) patients. The cervical lymphadenopathy usually resolved spontaneously within 6 months. Only one patient had a recurrence of lymphadenopathy with fever during follow-up. No children with KD in our series developed systemic lupus erythematosus. HHV 8 DNA was not amplified by nested PCR in any of the cases, and all cases were negative for EBV RNA by ISH. Conclusion : KD should be differentiated as a cause of cervical lymphadenopathy in children. HHV 8 and EBV may not play major causative roles in KD in children.

목 적 : KD는 주로 동양의 젊은 성인 여성에게서 경부 림프절 종대로 발현하는 것이 특징이며 수개월 내에 자연 치유되는 양호한 경과를 가지는 질환이다, 저자들은 KD로 진단된 소아환아의 임상적 특징을 알아보고, 환아들의 림프절 조직에서 바이러스 검출을 시도하여 KD와 HHV 8, EBV와의 연관성을 알아보기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 인제대학교 상계백병원에서 1998년 1월부터 2005년 12월까지 KD로 진단되어 치료받은 17세 이하 소아 26례를 대상으로 임상적 특징을 고찰하였다. 병력지 고찰을 통하여 후향적으로 분석하였고 추적 조사는 외래 병력 기록지와 전화 방문을 통하여 분석하였다. KD 환아의 림프절 조직으로부터 DNA를 추출하여 HHV 8 DNA를 검출하기 위해 PCR, EBV RNA를 검출하기 위해 ISH가 시행되었다. 결 과 : KD로 진단된 26명 중 남아 11례, 여아 15례로 성비는 1:1.4였고, 평균 연령은 13세였다. 환아의 연도별 분포는 2000년에 7례로 가장 많았으며, 여름에 가장 많이 진단되었다. 주증상은 발열(8/26)과 림프절의 동통(11/26)으로 발열의 기간은 평균 7.3일 이었다. 목빗근 뒷부위의 림프절 종대가 72%(18/24)였고 1례에서 경부 이외의 림프절 종대로 나타났다. 림프절의 크기는 $1cm{\times}1cm$에서부터 $6cm{\times}6cm$까지로 다양하게 나타났다. 백혈구 감소가 46%(6/13)에서 있었고 적혈구 침강 속도상승(>20 mm/hr)이 62%(8/13)에서 나타났다. 검체 확보가 가능하였던 20례 모두에서 HHV 8 DNA는 검출되지 않았으며, ISH를 이용한 EBV RNA 검사 결과도 음성이었다. KD 26례 모두 임상 경과는 양호하였으며, 1례(4%)만이 추적 중 발열과 함께 재발하였다. 전신성 홍반성 루프스를 포함한 결체 조직 질환으로의 이환은 관찰되지 않았다. 결 론 : KD는 소아에서 드물지 않게 발생하므로, 림프절 종대를 호소하는 환아에서 감별 진단에 포함되어야 한다. HHV 8과 EBV는 소아에서 진단된 KD의 원인 병원체로 작용할 가능성이 적을 것으로 생각된다.
