This study analyzed the status of tuberculosis patients in Korea by collecting data from the Statistics Korea and the KDCA's GLOBAL Tuberculosis Report from 2010 to 2018 to find ways to manage tuberculosis patients in Korea and provide basic data on tuberculosis policies. The results are as follows. First, the results of tuberculosis patients in Korea decreased by about 21.3% to 33,796 (65.9%) in 2018 and 26,433 (51.5%) in 2018. Second, the status of tuberculosis patient treatment in Korea was found to be 655 in 2018, an increase of about 160% compared to 2014. Third, the incidence of tuberculosis among adolescents was 1.8% in 2018 for those aged 10 to 14 and 15.0% for those aged 15 to 19, the highest rate of tuberculosis among high school students, Fourth, looking at the incidence of tuberculosis patients by age, subjects in their 60s or older showed a prevalence of tuberculosis by 60% or more, especially elderly tuberculosis patients over 80 years of age. Fifth, the status of the incidence of tuberculosis patients by gender was found to be 1.4 times higher in men than in women in 2018 compared to 2010. Sixth, 1,419 people (75.6%) in Jeollanam-do had the highest prevalence of tuberculosis nationwide, and 99 people (33.4%) in Sejong had the lowest prevalence. Seventh, the number of foreign patients in Korea continued to increase to 1,510 in 2012, increasing to 2,569 in 2016. The results this study indicate the need for rapid and accurate early tuberculosis screening policies and management for tuberculosis relapse patients, high school student, age groups over 60, a group of men such as the military, the elderly over 80, and foreigners.

결핵은 전염병이다. 따라서 발병 확인 시 신속하게 대처하지 않으면 더 많은 환자 발생이 우려되기 때문에 집단에서의 결핵한자 관리는 무척 중요하다. 특히 학교와 같은 집단생활이 이루어지는 곳은 더욱 그러하다. 유치원, 초 중 고등학교에서 결핵 발견 시 대처요령을 알아본다.

The purpose of this study is to identify factors affecting length of stay(LOS) and death in tuberculosis(TB) patients by disease type, patient characteristic, admission and disease characteristic, and hospital characteristic from 2008 to 2017. Survey data was using Korean national hospital discharge in-depth survey data produced by Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency. Study subjects were 10,634 inpatients with TB(A15, A16, A17, A18, A19, U88.0, U88.1, U84.30, U84.31) and analyzed frequency, chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and logistic regression by using STATA 13.0. As a study result, the type of TB(extrapulmonary TB, multidrug-resistant TB, extensively drug-resistant TB), sex(woman), age(35-49, 50-64, 65-74, 75 years old or older), admission type(outpatient department), CCI(1-2 point, 3 point over), hospital location(metropolitan city) and bed size(300-499, 500-999, over 1000) were significantly influence LOS. Also, the type of TB(extrapulmonary TB, extensively drug-resistant TB), sex(woman), age(50-64, 65-74, 75 years old or older), residence(small town/rural), admission type(outpatient department), CCI(1-2 point, 3 point over), hospital location(provincial) were significantly influence death. In conclusion, the existing tuberculosis management has been patient management with rapid diagnosis and treatment following early detection. But other studies should be carried out for the system that identifies and supports high-risk groups of the long-term length of stay in hospital or high mortality rates as a result of treatment.

HIV 감염자가 병원에 입원하며 의사가 가장 먼저 생각하는 일은 어떤 기회감염으로 이런 증상을 갖게 되었을까 하는 것이다. 생각할 수 있는 병도 많고 생각해야 할 병도 많지만 그 중에서도 가장 먼저 떠올리게 되는 것이 결핵이 아닌가 한다. 우선 빈도면에서 비교적 흔하고, 임상증상도 정상인과 같지 않은 점이 많아서 혼돈을 일으키는 경우가 많다. 림프종을 생각할 만큼 크고 빠르게 자란 목의 덩어리도 조직검사를 하면 결핵성 림프절염인 경우가 있고 복강내 림프절이 커지거나 뇌막염을 일으키기도 한다. 결핵약으로 치료를 하는 경우에도 해열되는데 기간이 많이 필요하고 치료 도중에 약화되는 경험을 하기도 하였다. 우리나라에서 발표된 보고에서도 서울대학교에서 발표한 173명의 환자들에서 가장 흔한 기회감염은 결핵이었다. 25$\%$의 환자에서 결핵이 발생하였으며, 환자 100명당 1년 동안의 결핵 발생률은 9.6이었다. 면역부전이 진행할수록 이 빈도는 증가한다고 보고한 바 있다. 따라서 HIV감염자를 관리, 치료하는 경우에는 결핵에 대한 충분한 이해가 필요한데 얼마전 New England Journal of Medicine에 HIV감염자에서의 결핵이라는 제목으로 발표된 자료가 있어 이를 정리하였다. 여러모로 도움이 되는 내용이지만 우리나라에서 사용할 수 있는 약제에 한계가 있고 BCG예방접종을 하기 때문에 피부반응 검사로 결핵발생을 예측하기도 어렵다는 점을 고려하면 모든 내용이 우리나라의 현실에 적용되는 것은 아니다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate secondary infections within the households of newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients. Methods: We collected data on household infections of tuberculosis patients by retrospective review of medical records and telephone surveys. Results: Out of 321 newly diagnosed tuberculosis cases, a total of 253 patients who received telephone surveys were enrolled in this study. Less than 50% of the patients had household contacts screened for tuberculosis infection, and most of the patients were not aware of the necessity of testing. Out of 562 household contacts, there were 8 cases of secondary tuberculosis (1.4%, 8/562) in 7 households. There were 15 cases of latent infection (2.7%, 15/562) in 13 households. Out of 110 child and adolescent household contacts, there were no cases of secondary tuberculosis, and there were 8 cases of latent infection (7.3%) in 7 households, which was 20.5% among child and adolescent contacts screened for tuberculosis infection. In 3 of the cases (13.0%) that had secondary tuberculosis or latent infection in their households, the source of infection was extrapulmonary tuberculosis. There was no correlation between the frequency of household infections and the presence of pulmonary cavities, sputum AFB smear results, and microbiologically confirmed results. Conclusions: For effective investigation of tuberculosis contacts, it is necessary to raise general awareness on the necessity of investigating household contacts, and there should also be a continued assessment on tuberculosis contact investigation since government-supported programs.

Tuberculosis causes high morbidity and mortality. However, Korea still has the highest tuberculosis (TB) incidence and mortality among OECD countries despite decreasing incidence and mortality due to the development of modern medicine. Korea has now implemented various policy projects to prevent and control tuberculosis. This study analyzes the effects of public-private mix (PPM) tuberculosis control program on treatment outcomes and identifies the factors that affecting the success of TB treatment. We analyzed 130,000 new tuberculosis patient cohort from 2012 to 2015 using data of tuberculosis patient reports managed by the Disease Control Headquarters. A cumulative incidence function (CIF) compared the cumulative treatment success rates for each factor. We compared the results of the analysis using two popular types of competition risk models (cause-specific Cox's proportional hazards model and subdistribution hazard model) that account for the main event of interest (treatment success) and competing events (death).
