  • This study was attempted to contribute to the development of school health by providing the basic data about the distribution basis and distribution aspect of teachers holding additional school health that are in charge of school health business in parimary schools, middle schools and high schools without any nurse-teacher. This study analyzed literatures about the history, related laws, organization and professional manpower of school health. The emphasis was set on the distribution basis of theachers holding additional school health. The results of this study are as following: 1. The school health of the world dates to the late 18th century in Europe where was free supplying with food for poor children. The school health of Korea orginated from smallpox vaccination which was executed with appearance of modern schools in the late 19th century. 2. The related laws of school health began as a part of Education Law with was constituted in 1949. By the School Health Law constituted in 1967 and the enforcement ordinance of School Health made firm the legal basis of school health. 3. The administrative organs of school health are the Ministry of Education in center and each Board of Education in cities and provinces. For the first time in 1979, the department of school health was established in the organization of the Ministry of Education. And at about the same time of establishment of the department of school health, health section was established in the department of social physical-training in locality. 4. In the manpower of school health which was presented in the related statute of school health, there are the ward chief of education, the superintendent of educational affair, of cities and districts, the mayors, the governors of provinces, the school managers, the principals, the school doctors, the school pharmacists, and the nurse-teachers, including teachers holding additional school health as the practical manpower of school health. 5. In order to get some information on distribution aspect of teachers additional school health, this study made up a questionnaire from August 3 to August 11, 1988. The subjects of this study were 212 leachers who took part in the yearly training for teachers holding additional school health from Kyunggi province, Chungbuk province and Jeonbuk province. The results of the questionnaire are as following: 1. The distribution percentages of teachers holding additional school health according to each Board of Education wich schools are subject to, are as following:70.1% (Kyunggi), 76.5% (Chungbuk), and 81.4% (Jeonbuk). There was a significant difference. The distribution percentages of teachers holding additional school health according to the school levels of 3 provinces are as following: 74.1% (Primary schools), 77.8% (Middle schools), 76.7% (High schools). There were little significant differences. 2. The distribution according to the general characteristics of the subject schools: There were 64.2 percent of primary schools and 35.8 percent of middle schools among 212 schools. 91. 5 percent of schools were located in districts. Public schools formed 55.7% and then national schools were higher in percentage than private schools. 58.5 percent of schools had 1-9 classes, 64.6 percent of schools had 101-500 students, and 90 percents of schools had 1-20 teachers. In considering student sex, the coed school showed the high distribution percentage (Primary schools : 100%, Middle schools: 81.6%). 3. The distribution according to the characteristics of teachers holding additional school health: 93.3 percent of teachers were female, and more than 60 percent of teachers were 20-29 years old. As the age got higher, the percentage became lower. There were little significant differences by marital status. In considering their educational status, 86.8 percent of teachers in primary schools were from teacher's colleges, and 64.5 percent of teachers in middle schools were from education colleges. In considering teaching career, 46.7 percent of teachers had teaching career of less than 2 years. 73.6 percent of teachers had held additional school health for less than one year. More than 80 percent of teachers had participated in the training one time or twice. More than 70 percent of teachers had 1-2 additional jobs except for the school health business. The motivation to hold additional school health is most caused by mandatory order, which accounts for more than 80.0 percent. In considering interesting degree concerning school health, lukewarm answer is the highest of 62.7 percent, followed by affirmative answer of 23.6 percent. In considering their contentment degree respecting additional school health job, "discontent or very discontent"is the highest of 47.6 percent. As a descontent reason of additional school health job, overwork is the highest factor of 37.9 percent. Among addiitional school health job, the most difficult affair is nursing service to be 34.0 percent, followed by health education of 31.6 percent. It testify the need of professional. The source of knowledge about school health has been acquired from masscommunication or private health experience, which account for as much as 56.1 percent. It shows seriousness of lack of professionalism. With regard to neccessity of school health experts, 95.8 percent represents absolute need. With above consideration of study results, I propose as follows : 1. I propose that the authorities concerned unify and improve statute respecting current school health which has not been steadfastly supporting school health business by ambiguity of expression and dualization. 2. I propose that the authorities concerned give the school manager, school staffs and parents of students educational chance with which they can acknowledge the importance of school health and in which they can participate as well as set up alternative policy plan to be albe to vitalize school health committee. 3. I propose that administrative organization practicable to taking totally charge of school health business is established within the Ministry of Education. 4. I propose that the authorities concerned back up and cooperate in an attempt by make school health better and desirable toward development by way of appointing qualitied health teachers on the basis of legally regular teacher staffs.

  • In view of its prevalence in the Far East area, a more detailed knowledge on the hookworm infection is one of the very important medical problems. The present study was aimed to; determine the infectivity of the artificially hatched ancylostoma duodenale larvae in man after its oral administration, evaluate the clinical symptomatology of such infection, determine the date of first appearance of the ova in the stool, calculate the blood loss per worm per day, assess the relation-ships between the ova count, infectivity(worm load), blood loss and severity of anemia. An erythrokinetic study was also done to analyse the characteristics of hookworm anemia by means of $^{59}Fe\;and\;^{51}Cr$. Materials and Methods Ten healthy male volunteers(doctors, medical students and laboratory technicians) with the ages ranging from 21 to 40 years were selected as the experimental materials. They had no history of hookworm infection for preceding several years, and care was taken not to be exposed to reinfection. A baseline study including a through physical examinations and laboratory investigations such as complete blood counts, stool examination and estimation of the serum iron levels was done, and a vermifuge, bephenium hydroxynaphoate, was given 10 days prior to the main experiment. The ancylostoma duodenale filariform larvae were obtained in the following manner; The pure ancylostoma duodenale ova were obtained from the hookworm anemia patients and a modified filter paper method was adopted to harvest larger number of infective larvae, which were washed several times with saline. The actively moving mature larvae were put into the gelatine capsules, 150 in each, and were given to the volunteers in the fasting state with 300ml. of water. The volunteers were previously treated with intramuscular injection of 15mg. of chlorpromazine in order to prevent the eventual nausea and vomiting after the larvae intake. The clinical symptoms and signs mainly of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, appearance of the ova and occult blood in the stool etc. were checked every day for the first 20 days and then twice weekly until the end of the experiment, which usually lasted for about 3 months. Roentgenological survey of the lungs was also done. The hematological changes such as the red blood cell, white blood cell and eosinophil cell counts, hemoglobin content and serum iron levels were studied. The appearance of the ova in the stool was examined by the formalin ether method and the ova were counted in triplicate on two successive days using the Stoll's dilution method. The ferrokinetic data were calculated by the modified Huff's method and the apparent half survival time of the red blood cells by the modified Gray's method. The isotopes were simultaneously tagged and injected intravenously, and then the stool and blood samples were collected as was described by Roche et al., namely, three separate 4-day stool samples with the blood sample drawing before each 4-day stool collection. The radio-activities of the stools ashfied and the blood were separately measured by the pulse-height analyser. The daily blood loss was calculated with the following formula; daily blood loss in $ml.=\frac{cpm/g\;stool{\times}weight\;in\;g\;of\;4-day\;stool}{cpm/ml\;blood{\times}4}$ The average of these three 4-day periods was given as the daily blood loss in each patient. The blood loss per day per worm was calculated by simply dividing the daily blood loss by the number of the hookworm recovered after the vermifuge given twice a week at the termination of the experiment. The iron loss in mg. through the gastrointestinal tract was estimated with the daily iron loss in $mg=\frac{g\;Hgb/100ml{\times}ml\;daily\;blood\;loss{\times}3.40}{100}$ 3.40=mg of iron per g Hgb following formula; Results 1. The respiratory symptoms such as cough and sputum were noted in almost all cases within a week after the infection, which lasted about 2 weeks. The roentgenological findings of the chest were essentially normal. A moderate degree of febril reaction appeared within 2 weeks with a duration of 3 or 4 days. 2. The gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, epigastric fullness, abdominal pain and loose bowel appeared in all cases immediately after the larvae intake. 3. The reduction of the red blood cell count was not remarkable, however, the hemoglobin content and especially the serum iron level showed the steady decreases until the end of the experiment. 4. The white blood cells and eosinophil cells, on the contrary, showed increases in parallel and reached peaks in 20 to 30 days after the infection. A small secondary rise was noted in 2 months. 5. The ova first appeared in the stool in 40. 1 days after the infection, ranging from 29 to 51 days, during which the occult blood reaction of the stool became also positive in almost cases. 6. The number of ova recovered per day was 164, 320 on the average, ranging from 89,500 to 253,800. The number of the worm evacuated by vermifuge was in rough correlation with the number of ova recovered. 7. The infectivity of ancylostoma duodenale was 14% on the average, ranging from 7.3 to 20.0%, which is relatively lower than those reported by other workers. 8. The mean fecal blood loss was 5.78ml. per day, with a range of from 2.6 to 11.7ml., and the mean blood loss per worm per day was 0.30ml., with a range of from 0.13 to 0.73ml., which is in rough coincidence with those reported by other authors. There appeared to exist, however, no correlation between the blood loss and the number of ova recovered. 9. The mean fecal iron loss was 2.02mg. per day, with a range of from 1.20 to 3.89mg., which is less than those appeared in the literature. 10. The mean plasma iron disappearance rate was 0.80hr., with a range of from 0.62 to 0.95hr., namely, a slight accerelation. 11. The hookworm anemia appeared to be iron deficiency in origin caused by continuous intestinal blood loss.

  • 오늘날 사진은 새로운 테크놀로지 형태인 디지털 이미지 프로세싱 앞에 심각한 정체성 위기와 존재론적 딜레마에 봉착했다. 사진은 그동안 우리에게 세상을 새롭게 바라보는 방법을 제공하고, 또 우리 스스로 주변을 돌아볼 수 있는 자각을 주었으며, 나아가 삶의 리얼리티의 본질을 재인식시키는데 크게 기여했다. 그런 사진의 기능이 오늘날 무력화되고 있다. 디지털 테크놀로지의 출현으로 사진은 더 이상 사실의 기록, 결백의 증거, 그리고 리얼리티의 거울로서 간주되지 않는다. 오히려 유희의 도구 혹은 우리가 사는 세계의 환영과 기쁨을 창조하는 수단으로 간주된다. 그러나, 디지털 테크놀로지의 출현은 이제 비로소 사진의 존재론적 당위성과 정체성의 문제를 냉정히 돌아보게 한다. 본 논고는 전자시뮬레이션 시대 새로운 이미지 생산의 첨병으로 등장한 디지털 이미지의 존재론적 측면을 규명하는데 있다. 이를 위해 인류의 첫 번째 프로그램 미학으로 말해지는 사진과 첨단테크놀로지 미학으로 말해지는 디지털 이미지와의 관계를 기계미학적 관점에서 살펴보려 한다. 특히 올드미디어(사진)와 뉴미디어(디지털) 사이에 갈등 구조를 자본주의 역사관과 물질적 관점에서 살펴보려 한다. 본 논고는 이를 위해 우선 사진의 정체성 위기와 존재론적 위협이 어디로부터 발현된 것인지를 살피고, 또 지금까지 생산된 매체 미학적 담론들이 어떤 비평적 쟁점 속에 놓였는지를 살피고자 한다. 특히 사진이 강점으로 여긴 존재론적 인덱스와 생성론적 텍스트에 주목하여 사진 재현의 기반인 사실적 기록, 명료한 증거, 그리고 기술적 정교성이 어떤 기계미학의 층위에 있는지를 디지털 이미지를 대척에 두고 분석하고자 한다. 그리하여 최근 일고 있는 사진의 죽음, 사진의 종말에 관한 담론들이 심각한 오류가 있음을 지적하고자 한다. 올드 테크놀로지로서 사진이 당면한 위기, 즉 현재 사진이 안고 있는 존재론적 위기(컴퓨터화 된 디지털 이미지 출현) 그리고 인식론적 위기(윤리, 지식, 가치관 등 급격한 문화 변동)는 매체미학의 본질상 당연한 위기임을 정당화하고자 한다. 본 논문은 이 같은 주장을 위하여 역사적으로 사진술이 어떤 생성과 소멸의 과정을 거쳤으며, 또 어떻게 지금의 디지털 이미지에 이르게 되었는지 테크놀로지 미학 안에서 자동생성주의로서 색인 이미지, 디지털 코드로서 수치 이미지의 생성, 기원, 본질 그리고 정체성을 규명하고자 한다. 특히 본 논고는 논지의 정당성을 위해 다양한 매체미학자들의 주의주장 및 이론적 쟁점을 분석하고자 한다. 또 분석틀을 통해서 테크놀로지 미학의 근간인 기계, 기술성을 바탕으로 한 사진의 생성적 측면과 문화 안에서 변형된 프로그램에 의해 창조되는 디지털 이미지의 변형적 측면의 본질을 파악하고자 한다. 이렇게 사진과 디지털 이미지의 양자의 비교를 통해서 테크놀로지 미학 안에서 올드 미디어(사진)와 뉴 미디어(디지털 이미지)의 자리바꿈은 정당한 것이라는 사실과, 이런 역설적인 구조야말로 기계, 기술을 바탕으로 삼는 테크놀로지 매체의 숙명성이라는 사실을 강조함으로써 논문의 정당성을 강화하고자 한다. 마지막으로 본 논고는 하나의 얼굴, 하나의 정체성으로 자리할 수 없다는 사실을 역사로서 확증하고, 또 사진에서 부동의 존재론과 인식론의 모습은 애초부터 불가능하다는 사실을 지적함으로써 오늘날 제기되고 있는 '사진의 죽음,' '사진의 종말'은 쟁점의 정당성에도 불구하고 매체미학의 역사를 간과하는 오도된 비평이라는 사실을 결론으로 도출하고자 한다.

  • 1997년 1월 1일부터 12월 31일까지 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원 응급의료센터에 내원한 비외상성 흉통 환자에 대한 임상적 연구를 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 응급의료센터를 내원한 총환자 25,583명 중 비외상성 흉통을 주소로 내원한 경우는 488례였으며 남녀비는 1.9:1로 남자에게서 많이 발생하는 것으로 조사되었다. 흉통의 원인별 분류를 보면 심인성인 경우가 320례(65.6%)로 가장 많이 발생하였으며 심인성의 경우를 다시 나누어 보면 협심증이 140례(28.7%), 심근경색증이 128례(26.2%)였다. 흉통의 발생시간별 비교에서 심인성군이 비심인성군에 비해 오전에 더 많이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 내원 시간별 비교에서는 6시간내 도착한 경우가 심인성에서 60.0%, 비심인성에서 45.2%로 가장 많았으며, 6시간 이후에 도착한 경우는 심인성 40.0%, 비심인성 54.8%였다. 평균 소요시간은 비심인성군에서 $1,848.9{\pm}4,384.6$분, 심인성군에서 $1,454.5{\pm}3,219.1$분, 심근경색증군에서 $1,230{\pm}2780.6$분으로 심인성군, 심근경색증 환자군에서 소요시간이 짧은 것으로 나타났다. 흉통의 양상은 쥐어짜는 듯한 양상이 256(52.5%)례로 가장 많았고, 다음이 둔한 양상의 순으로 나타났으며, 심인성의 경우 쥐어짜는 듯한 양상이, 비심인성의 경우 둔한 양상이 가장 많이 나타났다. 연관된 증상의 경우, 호흡 곤란이 가장 많았으며, 증상의 평균개수는 비심인성군에서 $1.1{\pm}0.9$개, 심인성군에서 $1.4{\pm}1.1$개, 심근경색증군에서 $1.7{\pm}1.1$개로 나타나 심근경색증의 연관 개수가 의의있게 많았다(p<0.05). 심효소 검사에서 troponin-T rapid assay의 심근경색증 진단에 대한 민감도(sensitivity)는 59.2%, 특이도(specificity)가 95.0%, 양성 예측도86.0%, 음성 예측도 81.9%였으며. CK-MB 검사는 민감도 46.4%, 특이도 95.4%, 양성 예측도 84.1%, 음성 예측도 77.1%였으며 myoglobin 검사는 민감도 45.1%, 특이도 92.1%, 양성 예측도 74.3%, 음성 예측도 76.7%로 나타났다. 급성심근경색증군을 대상으로 한 경우 모두 90% 이상에서 시행되었으나 민감도는 45-59%에 불과했지만 심전도 검사의 경우 민감도가 96.1%로 나타났다. 입원율은 심인성군에서 229례(71.6%)로 비심인성군의 85례(50.6%)에 비해 높게 나타났으며 전체 응급의료센터의 입원율 35.2%에 비해서도 높았다(p<0.01). 사망률은 심인성군에서 13.8%로 전체 흉통환자의 8.8%보다 더 높았으며 비심인성군의 0.6%에 비해 20배 이상의 높은 수치를 보였다(p<0.01). 심인성군중에서도 특히 심근경색증이 원인인 경우에는 사망률이 28.1%에 달했다. 결론적으로 비외상성 흉통을 호소하는 환자의 경우 심인성 질환에 의한 경우가 가장 많고 이중 허혈성 심질환이나 심근경색증이 그 원인인 경우가 많은 것으로 나타났고, 임상양상을 비교해 볼 때 심인성질환 특히 심근경색증의 경우 연관 증상이 더 많은 것으로 나타났으며 쥐어짜는 듯한 양상이 가장 많았고 사망률 또한 가장 높았다. 그러나 정확한 진단이 되지 못한 상태에서 퇴원되는 경우도 있어 초기에 자세한 병력 청취를 통해 연관증상이 많은 경우 심질환을 의심하고, 심전도 검사를 시행하여 이를 통한 환자의 분류를 통해 조기에 심인성 질환을 감별하고 처치할 수 있는 방법이 모색되어야 할 것이며 특히 흉통진료실과 같은 특수한 제도를 도입함으로써 심근경색증 환자에 대한 집중적인 관리와 아울러 저위험군의 진료에도 좀 더 개선된 결과를 가져올 수 있도록 하는 것이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

  • Visual media transmits image and information reproduced in large quantities, such as a photography, film, television, video, advertisement, or computer image. Correspondence to the students' reception and recognition of culture in the future. arrangements for the field of studies of visual culture. 'Visual Culture' implies cultural phenomena of visual images via visual media, which includes not only the categories of traditional arts like a painting, sculpture, print, or design, but the performance arts including a fashion show or parade of carnival, and the mass and electronic media like a photography, film, television, video, advertisement, cartoon, animation, or computer image. In the world of visual media, Image' functions as an essential medium of communication. Therefore, people call the culture of today fra of Image Culture', which has been converted from an alphabet convergence era to an image convergence one. Image, via visual media, has become a dominant means for communication in large part of human life, so we can designate an Image' as a typical aspect of visual culture today. Image, as an essential medium of communication, plays an important role in contemporary society. The one way is the conversion of analogue image like an actual picture, photograph, or film into digital one through the digitalization of digital camera or scanner as 'an analogue/digital commutator'. The other is a way of process with a computer drawing, or modeling of objects. It is appropriate to the production of pictorial and surreal images. Digital images, produced by the other, can be divided into the form of Pixel' and form of Vector'. Vector is a line linking the point of departure to the point of end, which organizes informations. Computer stores each line's standard location and correlative locations to one another Digital image shows for more 'Perfectness' than any other visual media. Digital image has been evolving in the diverse aspects, such as a production of geometrical or organic image compositing, interactive art, multimedia art, or web art, which has been applied a computer as an extended trot of painting. Someone often interprets digitalized copy with endless reproduction of original even as an extension of a print. Visual af is no longer a simple activity of representation by a painter or sculptor, but now is intimately associated with a matter of application of media. There is some problem in images via visual media. First, the image via media doesn't reflect a reality as it is, but reflects an artificial manipulated world, that is, a virtual reality. Second, the introduction of digital effect and the development of image processing technology have enhanced a spectacle of destructive and violent scenes. Third, a child intends to recognize the interactive images of computer game and virtual reality as a reality, or truth. Education needs not only to point out an ill effect of mass media and prevent the younger generation from being damaged by it, but also to offer a knowledge and know-how to cope actively with social, cultural circumstances. Visual media education is one of these essential methods for the contemporary and future human being in the overflowing of image informations. The fosterage of 'Visual Literacy' can be considered as a very purpose of visual media education. This is a way to lead an individual to the discerning, active consumer and producer of visual media in life as far as possible. The elements of 'Visual Literacy' can be divided into a faculty of recognition related to the visual media, a faculty of critical reception, a faculty of appropriate application, a faculty of active work and a faculty of creative modeling, which are promoted at the same time by the education of 'visual literacy'. In conclusion, the education of 'Visual Literacy' guides students to comprehend and discriminate the visual image media carefully, or receive them critically, apply them properly, or produce them creatively and voluntarily. Moreover, it leads to an artistic activity by means of new media. This education can be approached and enhanced by the connection and integration with real life. Visual arts and education of them play an important role in the digital era depended on visual communications via image information. Visual me야a of day functions as an essential element both in daily life and in arts. Students can soundly understand visual phenomena of today by means of visual media, and apply it as an expression tool of life culture as well. A new recognition and valuation visual image and media education is required to cultivate the capability of active, upright dealing with the changes of history of civilization. 1) Visual media education helps to cultivate a sensibility for images, which reacts to and deals with the circumstances. 2) It helps students to comprehend the contemporary arts and culture via new media. 3) It supplies a chance of students' experiencing a visual modeling by means of new media. 4) There are educational opportunities of images with temporality and spaciality, and therefore a discerning person becomes to increase. 5) The modeling activity via new media leads students to be continuously interested in the school and production of plastic arts. 6) It raises the ability of visual communications dealing with image information society. 7) An education of digital image is significant in respect of cultivation of man of talent for the future society of image information as well. To correspond to the changing and developing social, cultural circumstances, and the form and recognition of students' reception of them, visual arts education must arrange the field of studying on a new visual culture. Besides, a program needs to be developed, which is in more systematic and active level in relation to visual media education. Educational contents should be extended to the media for visual images, that is, photography, film, television, video, computer graphic, animation, music video, computer game and multimedia. Every media must be separately approached, because they maintain the modes and peculiarities of their own according to the conveyance form of message. The concrete and systematic method of teaching and the quality of education must be researched and developed, centering around the development of a course of study. Teacher's foundational capability of teaching should be cultivated for the visual media education. In this case, it must be paid attention to the fact that a technological level of media is considered as a secondary. Because school education doesn't intend to train expert and skillful producers, but intends to lay stress on the essential aesthetic one with visual media under the social and cultural context, in respect of a consumer including a man of culture.

  • 연구배경 : M. avium complex(MAC)는 비결핵성 마이코박테리아로 의한 폐질환의 가장 흔한 원인균이다. 본 연구는 MAC 폐질환 환자의 임상적 특징을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법 : 1997년 미국흉부학회의 비결핵성 마이코박테리아 폐질환 진단기준을 만족하는 24명의 MAC 폐질환환자의 임상적 특징을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 미국흉부학회의 분류에 따른 상엽공동형과 결절기관지확장증형의 MAC 폐질환에서 임상적 차이가 있는가를 살펴보았다. 결과 : 24명의 환자는 남자 14명(58%), 여자 10명(42%)이었고, 진단시 연령의 중앙값은 61세(범위 46-75세)였다. 사람면역결핍바이러스 항체 양성자는 없었다. 원인균은 M. intracellulare이 16례(67%), M. avium이 7례(29%), M. avium-intracellulare 1례(4%)이었다. 증상은 기침(92%), 객담(88%), 객혈(29%) 등이 많았다. 과거 폐결핵 치료력이 20명(83%)의 환자에서 있었다. 객담 항산균 도말양성 환자가 17명(71%)이었다. 증상 발생부터 진단까지 36개월(6-156개월)이 소요되었다. 상엽공동형이 14명(58%), 결절기관지확장증형이 10명(42%)이었다. 상엽공동형과 결절기관지확장증형은 성별(남성 86% vs. 20%, p=0.003), 흡연력(현재 또는 과거 흡연자 79% vs. 10%, p=0.008), 기저질환 유무(동반 64% vs. 20%, p=0.036) 등의 임상적 특징과 %FVC(71%, 범위 45-108% vs. 88%, 범위 73-108%, p=0.022), % $FEV_1$(69%, 범위 39-100% vs. 89% 범위 70-114%, p=0.051) 등 폐활량 그리고 단순흉부방사선촬영에서 양측성 병변(29% vs. 90%, p=0.005) 등 방사선학적 특징이 차이를 보였다. 증상 발생부터 진단까지의 기간이 결절기관지확장증형(중앙값 72개월, 범위 8-132개월)이 상엽공동형 (중앙값 22개월, 범위 6-60개월)에 비해 길었다(p=0.046). 결론 : MAC 폐질환은 증상 발생부터 진단까지 오랜 시간이 소요되는 만성 폐질환으로 외국의 보고와 유사한 빈도로 상엽공동형과 결절기관지확장증형의 두 가지 형태가 국내에서도 발생하고 있다. MAC 폐질환의 보다 빠른 진단을 위해서는 MAC 폐질환의 다양한 임상상에 대한 이해와 임상적 의심이 중요하다고 사료된다.
