초록

목 적 : 요로 감염은 소아에서 흔한 세균성 감염 질환이다. 특히 영아나 어린 소아에서의 감염은 수신증이나 방광 요관 역류와 같은 요로의 동반 기형과 관련성이 높다. 이 연구의 목적은 영아와 어린 소아에서 E. coli 에 의한 요로 감염과 E. coli 외의 다른 균에 의한 요로 감염사이의 임상소견과 검사실 소견, 요로계 영상 검사 소견을 비교해 보는 것이다. 방 법 : 2003년 1월부터 2005년 12월까지 부산 일신 기독 병원 소아과에 요로감염으로 입원한 170명의 환아들의 임상 기록을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 모든 환아들은 E. coli 요로 감염과 non-E. coli 요로 감염의 두 그룹으로 나뉘었고 각각의 인구학적 자료, 임상 자료(발열 정도와 기간, 해열 기간, 입원 기간), 요로계 동반 질환(병력과 초음파를 통해)과 감염의 재발(병력과 과거 의무 기록을 통해), 검사실 소견[요 침사 현미경 검사, 말초혈액 백혈구 수, 적혈구(ESR), CRP, 혈청 크레아티닌 수치]을 비교하였다. 결 과 : 요로 감염으로 진단된 170명의 환아 중 114명(67.1%)은 E. coli에 의한 요로 감염이었고 나머지 56명(32.9%)은 다른 요로 감염 균에 의한 감염이었다. Non-E. coli 그룹은 E. coli 그룹에 비해 발병 연령이 더 낮고($0.52{\pm}0.59$세 vs $0.84{\pm}1.39$세, P<0.05), 요로 기형의 동반률이 높고[46례(82.1%) vs 53례(46.5 %), P<0.001], 재발률이 높고, 해열까지의 기간이 더 짧으며, 말초혈액 백혈구수가 더 적고, CRP 수치가 더 낮고, ESR 수치가 더 낮다. 결 론 : Non-E. coli 요로 감염은 E. coli 요로 감염에 비해 발병 연령이 더 어리고, 경한 임상 양상과 검사실 소견을 보이며, 요로 기형의 동반률이 높고 재발률도 높다.

Purpose : Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common bacterial infectious disease in childhood. Especially UTI in infant and young children is associated with urinary tract anomalies such as hydronephrosis, vesicoureteral reflux. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and laboratory characteristics, and uroradiologic findings of UTI caused by pathogens other than E. coli with UTI caused by E. coli in infant and young children. Methods : We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 170 infants and children, who had been admitted for UTI to Il Sin Christian Hospital from January 2003 to December 2005. All patients were divided into two groups; E. coli and non-E. coli UTI, and they were compared for demographic data, clinical data (degree and duration of fever, time to defervescence, and length of hospital stay), underlying urinary tract anomalies (by history and ultrasonography), recurrent infection (by history and past medical records), and laboratory data [urinalysis, white blood cells (WBC) count in peripheral blood, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), and serum creatinine level]. Results : Of the 170 UTI patients, the number of non-E. coli UTI was 114 (67.1%) and E. coli UTI was 56 (32.9%). As compared to E. coli group, non-E. coli group was younger in age ($0.52{\pm}0.59years$ vs $0.84{\pm}1.39years$, P<0.05), had higher rates of urinary tract anomalies [n=46 (82.1%) vs n=53 (46.5%), P<0.001], higher recurrence rate, shorter time to defervescence, less peripheral blood WBC count, lower level of CRP, lower level of ESR. Conclusion : The characteristics of non-E. coli UTI compared to E. coli UTI was younger age, milder clinical symptoms and signs, higher rates of urinary tract anomalies and higher recurrence rate.
