  • Manubriosternal 관절의 패혈성 관절염은 특히 청소년에서 드물게 발생하는 질환으로, 종종 근골격 흉통, 갈비뼈염 등과 같은 보다 흔한 진단과 비슷하게 비특이적 증상으로 나타난다. 우리는 17세 소녀의 패혈성 관절염 사례를 보고하며 이러한 질환의 진단과 치료에 대한 어려움을 강조한다. 처음에는 일시적 비특이적 흉통으로 진단된 급성 흉통으로 시작하여, 환자의 응급실 재방문에서 고열과 같은 증상이 심화되어 추가적인 영상 촬영을 진행하였다. 결과적으로 Manubriosternal 관절의 패혈성 관절염 진단이 확인되었으며, 혈액 배양 결과 메티실린 감수성 황색포도상구균이 검출되었다. 진단 지연은 전형적인 증상의 부재 및 환자의 입원에 대한 소극적 태도 등이 영향을 끼친 것으로 보인다. 이 사례는 흉통이 있는 청소년에서 드문 감염 원인을 고려하는 중요성과 전형적이지 않은 해부학적 부위에서의 감염 의심의 필요성을 강조한다.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the infectious arthritis on pigs slaughter in eastern Kangweon. During the period of between Feb. and Nov. 1992, 459 pigs were sampled at six abattoirs. Bacterial isolation and identification were perfomed from the arthritic lesions. In addition, drug susceptibility for the major isolated microoganisms were examined. The results obtained were summarized as follows : 1. From arthritic lesions bacteria were most frequently isolated, isolation rate being 21.1%. 2. The bacteria isolated from arthritic lesion, Staphylococcus spp. (33.9%), Coli form(39.3%) were most frequently isolated, while the genera of Mycoplasma were detected less frequently. 3. Antimicrobial drug susceptibility of the major organisms showed that all the isolated bacteria were susceptible to SXT(91.0%), cephalothin(82.5%), but resisted to penicillin and streptomycin.

  • Arthritis may be broadly classified as degenerative - related to defects in cartilage and other joint constituents, often age-associated - or inflammatory disease. Inflammatory arthritis called as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory arthropathy and characterized by a destructive arthritis. RA encompasses infectious arthritis, arthritis caused by intra-articular deposits of crystalline material (gout), syndromes associated with genetic defects (familial Mediterranean fever), and the immune-mediated inflammatory arthropathy. Degenerative arthritis called as osteoarthritis (OA), which is most frequently occurring, causes degenerative figures of knee, waist and knuckle, and accompanies severe pain around the cartilage. Also, it may cause morning stiffness, gelling effect, tenderness, bone swelling, crepitus, and motion disorders.

  • Nowadays chronic degenerative diseases such as arthritis are increasing rapidly, even though acute infectious diseases are decreasing due to the advance of modern medicine. Although many of remedies are developed for arthritis healing, there is no precise medical prescription, and pathogenesis is not examined exactly. In this study, we confirmed gene expression of BMP 1A, BMP 2B, osteonectin and MGP which are genes related with bone formation in osteoblast by using ultrasonic stimulation. Through this study, we also evaluated the fact that ultrasound could be applied to arthritis healing by making activated osteoblast induce remodeling of cartilage. As a result of this research, BMP 2B and MGP have higher rates of expression in specific ultrasound mode. In conclusion, it is expected that ultrasound could be used efficiently for healing arthritis if we use ultrasounds according to symptoms of arthritis on reasonable terms.

  • Septic arthritis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a rare disease. The most common symptoms of this disease are acute malocclusion, limited mouth opening, swelling, and tenderness of affected TMJ. These symptoms are often confused with internal derangement of the articular disc, rheumatoid arthritis, retrodiscitis, or osteoarthritis. Therefore, differential diagnosis by image examination is required. Usually, antimicrobial treatment and surgical drainage by needle aspiration, arthroscopy, or arthrotomy are effective treatment approaches. In this study, a patient who was diagnosed with septic arthritis was treated with arthrocentesis and antibiotics without significant complications. We present a case report with a review of the literature.

  • By process of treatment for a case which diagnosed as suppurative arthritis and admitted from the 5th, October, 1999 to the 15th, November, 1999, the results are as follows. Method & Results : In the earlier days of admission, this patient was diagnosed as damp-heat(濕熱) and medicated Cheongyeolsaseup-tang(qingrexieshi-tang). As the result, heating, pain in both knees and heating in both lmees are improved. In the later days of admission, this patient was diagnosed as impairment of the liver and kidney(肝腎虛損) and medicated Samgi-eum(sanqi-yin). As the reslut, weakness in lower limbs is improved. Conclusion : I consider that the rate of recovery for other infectious diseases including suppurative arthritis can be maximized by accumulation of clinical experiences and continuous research through both western medical treatment and oriental medical treatment.

  • 국내에서는 아직도 소아연령에서 결핵 감염이 적지 않게 존재하기 때문에 폐외 결핵 환자가 발생될 위험도 지속적으로 존재한다. 이런 측면에서 폐외 결핵의 하나인 골관절 결핵은 매우 드물기는 하나, 관절염을 주소로 내원한 환자의 원인으로 고려해 볼만하다. 나이 어린 소아에서는 증상과 징후가 비특이적이기 때문에 오진이나 진단 지연이 우려되므로, 항생제 치료에 잘 반응하지 않는 관절염 환자에서는 결핵성 골관절염에 대한 진단과 치료를 시도하는 것이 중요하다.

  • 진균에 의한 감염성 관절염은 면역 억제 치료자, 약물 남용자, 장기간의 항생제 투여자 등에서 발생하는 드문 질환으로 특히 건강한 성인에서의 감염은 매우 드물다. 진균에 의한 슬관절의 감염성 관절염은 국내에서 2예의 보고가 있으나, 건강한 성인에서 발생한 진균성 슬관절염은 아직 보고된 바가 없는 실정이다. 이에 저자들은 건강한 성인에서 반복적인 관절 내 스테로이드 주사 후 발생한 진균성 관절염 및 이와 동반한 슬와낭종의 관절경적 치료를 경험하여 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다. 진균성 슬관절염은 특징적인 임상상이 없는 드문 질환으로, 진단에 있어 어려움이 있으므로 면밀한 관찰과 주의를 요한다.

  • Septic arthritis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is an uncommon disease caused by microbial pathogens through hematogenous infection, local spread, or iatrogenic infection. As the symptoms have an insidious onset, the early stage of septic arthritis is often confused with other diseases. A 49-year-old man was referred for increasing preauricular pain, swelling, and restricted mouth opening. He had been initially diagnosed as having a conventional temporomandibular joint disorder and trigeminal neuralgia and had been treated for the same. Imaging studies including panoramic view, lateral tomography, computed tomography with contrast enhancement, and magnetic resonance imaging were performed. Erosive bone change with displacement of the involved condyle, diffuse swelling of adjacent soft tissue, and fluid collection in the joint space were noted. Needle aspiration of the joint space and bacterial culture confirmed the diagnosis of septic arthritis of the TMJ and he was treated with antibiotic therapy and surgical drainage. Clinicians should always consider the diagnosis of septic arthritis of the TMJ in patients with preauricular pain or swelling.

  • Streptococcus intermedius는 입안, 상부 호흡기, 위장관 등에 정상 상재균 중 하나로 존재하는 그람 양성 산소내성 혐기성 알균이다. 면역저하나 심장질환자에서 외상 또는 침습적 치료 후에 발생하는 기회 감염의 원인이 될 수 있다. 저자들은 최근 침습적 치료나 외상 등 특이 과거력이 없이 건강했던 7세 소아에서 S. intermedius에 의해 발생한 엉덩관절 화농 관절염을 경험하였기에 보고하고자 한다. 환자는 내원 3주전부터 왼쪽 엉덩관절 통증이 있었으며, 본원 내원 당일부터 발열이 발생하였다. 엉덩관절 자기공명영상에서 왼쪽 엉덩관절의 급성 화농 관절염으로 진단한 후 수술적 배농을 시행하였고, 혈액과 흡인 관절액에서 S. intermedius가 배양되었다. 수술 후 2주간의 ceftriaxone 정맥주사 후 3주간의 amoxicillin 경구 항생제로 치료한 후 재발없이 안정된 상태를 보이고 있다.
