Abstract

Background: Recently, in addition to multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) has become rapidly growing public health threat. This study examined the clinical differences between pulmonary TB patients with extensively drug resistance (XDR) and multi-drug resistance (MDR) at the National Medical Center in Korea in order to determine the clinical characteristics associated more with XDR-TB than MDR-TB. Methods: Patients who received a diagnosis of culture-confirmed pulmonary TB and a drug sensitivity test (DST) for anti-TB drugs at the National Medical Center between January 2000 and August 2007 were enrolled in this study. The patients were identified into the XDR-TB or MDR-TB group according to the DST results. The clinical characteristics were reviewed retrospectively from the medical records. Statistical analysis for the comparisons was performed using a ${\chi}^2$-test, independent samples t-test or binary logistic regression where appropriate. Results: A total 314 patients with culture-confirmed pulmonary TB were included. Among them, 18 patients (5.7%) had XDR-TB and 69 patients (22%) had MDR-TB excluding XDR-TB. A comparison of the clinical characteristics, revealed the XDR-TB group to have a higher frequency of a prior pulmonary resection for the treatment of TB (odds ratio [OR], 3.974; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.052~15.011; P value 0.032) and longer average previous treatment duration with anti-TB drugs, including a treatment interruption period prior to the diagnosis of XDR, than the MDR-TB group (XDR-TB group, 72.67 months; MDR-TB group, 13.09 months; average treatment duration difference between two groups, 59.582 months; 95% CI, 31.743~87.420; P value, 0.000). In addition, a longer previous treatment duration with anti-TB drugs was significantly associated with XDR-TB (OR, 1.076; 95% CI, 1.038~1.117; P value, 0.000). A comparison of the other clinical characteristics revealed the XDR-TB group to have a higher frequency of male gender, diabetes mellitus (DM), age under 45, treatment interruption history, cavitations on simple chest radiograph and positive result of sputum AFB staining at the time of diagnosis of XDR. However, the association was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Pulmonary TB patients with XDR have a higher frequency of a prior pulmonary resection and longer previous treatment duration with anti-TB drugs than those with MDR. In addition, a longer previous treatment duration with anti-TB drugs is significantly associated with XDR-TB.

연구배경: 최근 광역내성 결핵은 공공보건에 중대한 문제가 되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 국립의료원에 내원한 폐결핵 환자들 중 광역내성 폐결핵 환자와 다제내성 폐결핵 환자의 임상적 특성을 비교 연구 하여 광역내성 및 다제내성 폐결핵에 대한 관심을 높이고 폐결핵 퇴치에 이바지하고자 하였다. 방 법: 2000년 1월부터 2007년 8월까지 객담 결핵균배 양양성 및 항결핵 약제에 대한 감수성검사가 행해진 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 감수성결과에 따라 광역내성군과 다제내성군으로 나눈 뒤, 의무기록을 토대로하여 임상적 특성을 후향적으로 비교분석 하였다. 결 과: 총 314명의 환자들 중 18명(5.7%)이 광역내성, 69명(22%)이 다제내성이었고 광역내성을 다제내성에 포함시켰을 때 광역내성이 다제내성에서 차지하는 비율은 20.69%였다. 연구된 임상적 특성들 중, 광역내성 또는 다제내성이 진단될 당시 결핵치료를 위한 폐절제술의 과거력이 광역내성군에서 더 많았으며(OR, 3.974; 95% CI, 1.052~15.011; p value, 0.032), 광역내성이나 다제내성으로 진단되기 전 복용중단기간을 포함한 이전 항결핵약제 복용기간의 평균도 광역내성군에서 더 길었다(광역내성군: 72.67개월, 다제내성군: 13.09개월, 평균복용기간의차이, 59.582개월; 95% CI, 31.743~87.420; p value, 0.000). 또한 복용기간이 길수록 광역내성 발생과 유의한 관계가 있었다(OR, 1.076; 95% CI, 1.038~1.117; p value, 0.000). 그 외 남성의 비율, 당뇨병의 빈도, 45세 미만의 연령, 2개월 이상 항결핵약제 복용을 중단한 경력, 다제내 성이나 광역내성으로 진단될 당시 흉부방사선사진에서 공동의 존재 빈도와 내성 진단 당시 객담 항산성균 도말 양성 검사 비율은 전체적으로 광역내성군에서 더 높았으나 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았다. 결 론: 광역내성 폐결핵 환자들에서 광역내성으로 진단될 당시 결핵치료를 위한 폐절제술의 과거력의 비율이 더 높았으며, 내성 진단 전 더 긴 항결핵약제 복용기간을 보여주었다. 또한 긴 복용기간은 유의하게 광역내성의 발생과 관련되어 있었다.
