초록

목 적 : C. trachomatis는 성인의 성 매개성 질환중의 하나로 감염된 산모로부터 수직 전파에 의해 영유아에서 호흡기 감염과 결막염을 일으킨다. 영유아에서 호흡기 감염의 원인으로 C. trachomatis외에도 호흡기 바이러스가 흔한 원인이 되고 있어 최근 영유아에서의 C. trachomatis에 의한 호흡기 감염의 임상양상과 빈도를 알아보고 호흡기 바이러스와의 중복감염에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2002년 1월에서 2007년 7월까지 단국대학교병원에 호흡기 감염의 증상으로 입원한 6개월 이하의 환아를 대상으로 하였고 이들에게서 입원 2일 이내 인후 면봉법 혹은 비인두 흡인으로 채취한 객담검체에서 PCR에 의한 Chlamydia PCR 검사를 시행하였다. 또한 Chlamydia 양성인 환아의 $-70^{\circ}C$ 냉동고에 보관되어 있던 비인두 흡인 검체에서 호흡기 바이러스에 대한 multipex PCR 검사를 시행하였다. 의무기록을 후향적으로 검토 분석하였다. 결 과 : 5년 6개월의 연구기간동안 C. trachomatis 항원에 대한 PCR 검사를 시행한 환아 690명으로 그중에서 36명(5.2%)에서 양성을 보였다. Chlamydia 양성인 36명의 환아를 보면 남아가 28명이었고 이들의 평균 나이는 45.4일(12-183일) 이었으며 36명중 30명이 자연분만이었고 제왕절개가 6명 있었다. 36명중 26명에서 호흡기 바이러스를 검사를 시행하였으며 이중 12명에서 호흡기 바이러스가 검출되었다. 검출된 호흡기 바이러스의 종류를 보면 RSV 6명, RV 2명, 그 외 IFV A, PIV 3, AdV, CoV OC43, HMPV가 각각 한명에서 검출되었다. Chlamydia PCR 양성인 환아의 임상양상을 보면 기침, 수포음, 흉부견축, 빈호흡을 보였고 7%에서 발열 증상이 있었다. 호흡기 바이러스와 중복감염이 있는 12명의 환아와 비교한 결과 발열과 수포음이 의미있는 차이를 보였으며 혈액 검사상 호흡기 바이러스 중복감염이 있는 환아에서 CRP의 증가로 의미있는 차이를 보였다. 결 론 : C. trachomatis에 의한 호흡기 감염은 자연분만이 아닌 환아에서도, 또한 생후 6개월인 환아에서도 감염을 보였으며 46%에서 호흡기 바이러스와 중복감염을 보였다. 호흡기 바이러스와 중복감염이 있는 경우 RSV가 가장 많은 빈도를 보였다. C. trachomatis에 의한 호흡기 감염에서 발열을 동반하거나 CRP가 높은 경우 호흡기 바이러스와의 중복감염을 의심할 수 있다. 생후 6개월 이하의 환아에서 호흡기 감염의 원인으로 C. trachomatis의 감염을 고려해야 하며 호흡기 바이러스와의 중복감염에 대한 지속적인 연구가 필요하다고 생각된다.

Purpose : Chlamydia trachomatis is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases and is also a cause of pneumonia in infants. Respiratory infections by respiratory viruses are also common for infants. The objectives of this study were to identify the clinical manifestations and to determine the prevalence of C. trachomatis respiratory infections and coinfections by respiratory viruses in infants younger than 6 months of age. Methods : For this study, we enrolled 6 months or younger infants who were admitted to the Dankook University Hospital between January 2002 and July 2007, with respiratory symptoms. Nasopharyngeal aspirates or throat swabs were collected within s d of hospitalization and C. trachomatis was detected using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Patients who tested positive underwent multiplex PCR for respiratory viruses. Results : A total of 690 patients underwent chlamydial PCR testing and 36 (5.2%) had positive results. Of the 36, 28 (78%) were male; 30 were vaginally delivered. From the 36 patients positive for C. trachomatis, 26 underwent multiplex respiratory viral PCR; 12 were coinfected with viruses. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was the most frequent pathogen that was detected in 6 patients. Increased C-reactive protein and fever were significant in patients coinfected with respiratory viruses. Conclusion : C. trachomatis can infected in infants delivered by cesarean section as well as in 6 months old or younger infants. Infant with C. trachomatis respiratory infections can also be coinfected with respiratory infection also coinfected with respiratory viruses. Further studies are needed to better understand the prevalence rates of the this infection and its coinfection rate with respiratory viruses.
