Abstract

Purpose : We investigated the causative organism and its antibiotic susceptibility of community acquired urinary tract infection (UTI) in children at a secondary hospital to test the adequacy of the current guidelines. Methods : Children diagnosed with UTI at the Department of Pediatrics, Kwandong University MyMyongji Hospital by pyuria and bacterial growth of greater than $1.0{\times}10^5CFU/mL$ on clean catch midstream urine from January 2005 to December 2008 were studied retrospectively. The epidemiologic data, causative organism, and the antibiotic susceptibility were analyzed. Results : Sixty two children were diagnosed with sixty four cases of UTI's. Two bacteria were isolated in one case and thus data on 65 urine cultures were analyzed. The male:female ratio was 1.6:1 and 78.1% were less than 12 months of age. Escherichia coli was the predominant cause consisting of 53 cases (82.8%) of the cases. K. pneumoniae (5), Enterobacter (4), Enterococcus (1), $\beta$-streptococcus (1), Diphtheroides (1) were isolated. The antibiotic resistance of E. coli were as follows; ampicillin 69.8%, cefotaxime 1.9%, gentamicin 15.1%, amikacin 0.0%, levofloxacin 1.9%, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole 26.4 %. Only one case of the E. coli was extended spectrum $\beta$-lactamase (ESBL) positive. Conclusion : Compared to prior reports from other tertiary hospitals in Korea, E. coli was the predominant cause in childhood UTI and the rate of ESBL positivity was low. The antibiotic resistance was also different compared to prior reports. We conclude that a difference in the cause and antibiotic resistance of childhood UTI exists between centers and this should be taken into consideration when prescribing antibiotics for childhood UTIs.

목 적 : 소아 요로 감염은 가장 흔한 세균성 질환의 하나로, 특히 요로계의 해부학적 기형이 동반되면 재발하기 쉽고, 치료가 되지 않을 경우 고혈압, 신부전, 말기 신질환 등을 초래할 수 있다. 따라서 조기 진단과 적절한 치료 및 반복 감염의 예방이 중요한데, 이를 위해서는 정확한 원인 균주의 파악이 선행되어야 한다. 이에 저자들은 지역사회를 기반으로 하는 2차 병원에서 진단되는 소아요로감염의 원인균 및 항생제 감수성을 조사하여 적절한 항생제 선택에 도움이 되고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법: 2005년 1월 1일부터 2008년 12월 31일까지 관동대 명지병원 소아과에 입원하여 농뇨(WBC>5/HPF)와 요배양검사 상 $1.0{\times}10^5CFU/mL$ 이상의 배양검사결과를 보인 환아를 대상으로 소변 검사, 소변 배양 검사소견, 항생제 감수성 결과, 방사선 소견 등의 검사 결과를 의무 기록을 통해 후향적으로 조사하였다. 결 과:국내 3차 기관 등에서의 보고와는 다르게 대부분의 요로감염은 E. coli에 의한 것이었으며 ESBL 생성균주 또한 낮게 나타났다. 1) 전체 환아 62명의 평균 연령은 20개월이었으며, 1세 미만에서 호발(50명, 78.1%)하였다. 전체 환아 62명의 남녀 비는 1.6:1이었고, 1세 미만에서는 2.6:1, 1세 이상에서는 1:3.7이었다. 2) 전체 62명의 소변 배양 검사에서 분리된 균주는 E.coli가 가장 많았고(53명, 82.8%), K. pneumoniae (5명, 8.1%), Enterobacter (4명, 6.5%) Enterococcus, $\beta$-streptococcus, diphtheroides 각각 (1명, 1.6%)순이었다. 3) E. coli의 항생제에 대한 감수성은 ampicillin 30.2%, cefotaxime 98.1%, gentamicin 94.9%, amikacin100%, levofloxacin 98.1%, trimethoprim/sulfame-thoxazole 73.6%의 결과를 보였으며, 이 중 ESBL 생성균주는 1주가 검출되었다. 최근 3차 병원에서 실시한 감수성 결과와 차이를 보이는 것으로 의료기관에 따라 항생제 내성율의 차이가 있음을 시사하는 결과로 생각되며, 이는 일차 항생제 선택에 있어 지역별, 병원별 차이를 시사하는 것으로 생각할 수 있다. 결 론 : 향후 요로 감염 원인균 및 항생제 감수성에 대한 기관별, 지역별 지속적인 조사가 필요할 것으로 사료되며, 이에 기반한 적절한 항생제 사용이 요구된다.
