  • 국내에서 아직 잠복결핵 치료 대상 및 치료 방법에 대한 명확한 지침이 부족한 실정이며 이를 위해서는 잠복감염의 재활성화 혹은 새로운 감염이 어느 정도 결핵 발병의 원인이 되는지에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 그렇지만 발병의 위험이 높은 군을 선정하여 잠복결핵의 치료 대상으로 정하는 것이 타당할 것이며, 현재는 HIV 감염자, 전염성 결핵환자 가족 중 6세 미만의 아동, 중학생 및 고등학생에서의 집단 발병시 감염된 것으로 판정된 학생 및 종양괴사인자(tumor necrosis factor, TNF) 길항제 사용 예정인 잠복결핵 환자가 잠복결핵의 치료 대상으로 제한되어 있다. 향후에는 잠복결핵 치료 대상자의 확대가 필요할 것으로 생각되며, 치료방법 또한 isoniazid (INH) 단독 요법 이외에 rifampicin (RMP)을 포함하는 단기 요법의 사용도 고려하여야 하겠다. 현재 외국에서 잠복결핵의 치료법으로 권고되고 있는 것은 INH 6~9개월, RMP 4~6개월, INH/RMP 3개월 등이다. 과거부터 잠복결핵의 진단에 사용되어 온투베르쿨린 검사 외에 체외 인터페론감마 검사가 새로이 개발되면서 잠복결핵의 진단이 더 정확해진다면 이에 따라 잠복결핵 치료 방침도 수정될 가능성이 있으므로 새로운 검사법을 이용한 꾸준한 연구가 필요할 것이다.

  • For health care professionals(HCPs) who have relatively higher possibility of exposing tuberculosis(Tb), it is important for them to equip with proper levels of knowledge and prevention activities. In terms of establishment of Tb education model for junior HCPs, therefore, literature review was done alongside 129 junior HCPs and 14 HCPs were asked to answer questionnaires and telephone survey. The results are follows.; Firstly, six educational themes such as epidermiology of Tb, Tb transmission and patho-physiology, test and diagnosis, latent Tb, Tb treatment, and Tb prevention were identified, based on the literature review. Secondly, the junior HCPs showed lower levels of knowledge regarding epidermiology, transmission and patho-physiology and latent Tb, compared to the other themes. When education courses are planned, longer period of time should be given to the lower level of knowledge areas. Thirdly, the HCPs emphasized that definition and type of Tb should be well integrated into the education in particular epidermiology education. They also responded that hospital infection and infection cycle of Tb need to be addressed during educational session about transmission and patho-physiology. in addition, they said that specific and detailed contents about diagnosis and group examination should be carefully delivered during the education, along with diagnosis, test and application of personal protective devices during education of latent Tb. They also answered that patient education and adverse effect of Tb medication should be taught during Tb treatment session, as well as self activities of health promotion for junior HCPs and systematic TB education as key way of Tb prevention. As the findings were from limited numbers of respondents and contained the sampling bias, the result has to be carefully interpretated prior to generalization. Therefore, further survey with larger study population is required in terms of development of Tb education model.
