연구배경: 반복성 폐결핵은 재발과 재감염으로 구분되고, 각각의 치료기간이 다를 수 있다. 이에 반복성 폐결핵 환자의 임상적 특성과 약제 내성 검사 결과를 알아보고, 이를 바탕으로 반복성 폐결핵 환자에서 6개월 단기 표준 요법의 치료 가능성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 2005년 1월에서 2007년 1월까지 경북대학병원을 내원한 환자 중 과거 폐결핵으로 치료완료 한 적이 있으며, 흉부사진 상에 침윤소견과 함께 객담 검사에서 결핵균이 배양된 재치료 환자 31명과 512명의 초치료 환자 중 무작위로 선택한 31명에 대해 그 임상적 특성과 약제 감수성 결과 및 치료 결과를 비교하였다. 결과: 재치료 환자에서 이전 치료완료 후부터 재치료 시까지 걸린 기간은 2년 이후가 25명(86.2%)으로 대부분 2년 이후에 재치료를 요하였고, 모든 약제에 감수성을 보인 환자는 23명(82.1%)으로 초치료 환자에서의 약제 감수성 결과와 비슷하였다. 약제 감수성을 보인 재치료 환자 23명 중 6개월 단기 표준요법이 19명(82.6%), 9개월에서 12개월의 연장된 치료가 4명(17.4%)에서 시행되었으며, 이들을 각각 평균 17개월, 18개월 관찰한 동안 모두에서 재발한 예는 없었다. 이는 초치료 환자의 치료성적과 비슷하였다. 결론: 과거 폐결핵치료를 완료한 후 재치료를 요하는 폐결핵 환자에서 2년 이후 재발하고, 모든 약제에 감수성을 보이며, 공동 및 2개월 때 객담 배양 양성의 위험요소가 없는 예에서는 6개월 표준단기요법의 치료 가능성을 제시한다.

From September, 1985 to March, 1991, 33 patients under went thoracotomy for treatment of pulmonary aspergilloma with Pulmonary tuberculosis on the department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, National Kongju Hospital. 1. There were 25 male and 8 female patients ranging from 19 to 57 years old [mean age, 36.2 years]. 2. Hemoptysis was the most common symptom [recurrent minor hemoptysis: 24cases, severe hemoptysis [200cc /day]: 4 cases, massive hemoptysis [600/day]: 4 cases]. 3. In the chest X-ray films, intracavitary fungus balls [air meniscus sign] were noted in 20 cases [61%] and upper lobe involvements were 29 cases [88%]. 4. All cases had a history of treatment with antituberculosis drugs under diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis for an average of 10 years and 2 months. 5. The most common indication for operation was hemoptysis [32 cases] - hemoptysis with total destroyed lung or lobe: 12cases, hemoptysis with open AFB [t-] cavity: 6cases, recurrent or massive hemoptysis: 14 cases. 6. The operative procedures was as follows - - - lobectomy . 16 cases, pneumonectomy: 8 cases, bilobectomy, segmentectomy, cavernoplasty and lobectomy with segmentectomy: each 2 cases, lobectomy with cavernoplasty: 1 case. 7. 6 complications appeared postoperatively which included empyema with BPF [2 cases], empyema [2 cases] and wound infection [2 cases]. In conclusion, surgical resection is the treatment of choice in the management of pulmonary aspergilloma associated pulmonary tuberculosis.

Herein, we report a case of multiple systemic arteries to pulmonary artery fistulas without any underlying causes, presenting recurrent hemoptysis. Transcatheter embolization was successfully performed several times on multiple systemic feeding arteries. Multiple systemic arteries to pulmonary fistulas can be a source of uncontrolled bleeding, and embolization may be a reasonable therapeutic option to control the bleeding.

A 45-year-old man presented with dyspnea and hemoptysis during exercise. A chest computed tomography (CT) revealed multifocal diffuse patchy ground glass opacity and interlobular septal thickening in both the lungs. Permeability pulmonary edema or pulmonary hemorrhage was suspected. Serologic studies for autoimmune disorders and vasculitis were negative. There was no laboratory evidence of coagulopathy, other hematopoietic disease or infectious disease. Considering correlation with exercise, we diagnosed exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH) or exercise-induced pulmonary edema (EIPE). The patient was managed with antifibrinolytics, antibiotics, and antitussive agent. After a week, follow-up chest CT revealed completely resolved pulmonary hemorrhage. About 2 months after the first event, he visited again with dyspnea and hemoptysis during running. In the present study, we report a case of recurrent pulmonary hemorrhage after exercise.

성인에서 양성 원인에 의한 기관지식도루는 드물며 활동성 결핵이 원인 중 하나로 보고 되었지만 본 증례와 같이 결핵 후유증으로 장기간에 걸쳐서 발생할 수도 있고 만성 흡인과 기침 및 객혈의 원인이 될 수 있으며 활동성 폐결핵으로 오인될 수 있으므로 임상의사들의 주의가 필요하다.

Adrenal insufficiency during the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis is a troublesome condition and can at times be lifethreatening if untreated. Rifampin is one of the most widely prescribed anti-tuberculosis agents. Furthermore, rifampin has been known to be capable of affecting the metabolism of various medications, including glucocorticoids. In this paper, a case of recurrent adrenal insufficiency induced by rifampin during the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis is reported. The patient was a 63-year-old man who was diagnosed with Addison's disease 17 years earlier and had been undergoing glucocorticoid replacement therapy. Five months before, the patient manifested pulmonary tuberculosis and was immediately given anti-tuberculosis medication that included rifampin. After one week of medication, general weakness and hyponatremia occurred. Despite the increased dose of the glucocorticoid medication, the adrenal insufficiency recurred many times. Since the substitution of levofloxacin for rifampin, the episodes of adrenal insufficiency have not recurred so far.

We have observed 360 cases of spontaneous pneumothorax from Jan. 1971 to Dec. 1981 at the department of Thoracic and Card iovascular Surgery, Yonsei University College of Medicine. The patients age ranged from 2 days to 95 year-old. The associated pulmonary lesions were shown pulmonary tuberculosis in 158 cases[43.9%], bullae in 35, pulmonary emphysema In 32, pneumothorax in 10, paragonimiasis In 7 and unknown underlying pathology in 109 patients. 70 [51.1 %] out of 1 37 cases who received conservative medical treatment Including thoracentesis were cured completely, but the 67 cases [48.9 %] of remaining uncured patients were treated by surgical procedures. The 290 patients who received surgical management were recovered without recurrent pneumothorax. The surgical procedures were closed thoracotomy drainage or explothoracotomy. The choice of treatment should be based on the extent of pneumothorax or the presence of underlying pulmonary disease. Tube thoracotomywas the most effective procedure in achieving the expansion of collapsed lung. On the other hand, open thoracotomy could be a good approach to recurrent pneumothorax, persistent air leakage, incomplete expansion of the lung and bilateral pneumothorax. The minithoracotomy Is the best procedure to recurrent pneumothorax.
