$10\sim15%$ of tuberculosis infections is extrapumonary. 10% of the extrapulmonary tuberculosis involves the musculoskeletal system. The spine is most frequently affected about 50%. Foot is infrequently sites, with the incidence in the literature varying from $3\sim7%$. Especially isolated calcaneal tuberculosis is very rare. The authors report one case of a 71-year-old female with calcaneal tuberculosis.

Disseminated mycobacterial infection after bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination is a very rare disorder, occurring mostly in patients with immunologic deficiency. We report a case of disseminated BCG infection in a 16-month-old girl with severe combined immunodeficiency. Plain radiographs showed multiple osteolytic lesions in the femora, tibiae, humerus, and phalanges. Abdominal sonography and CT scanning revealed multiple nodules in the spleen, and portocaval lymphadenopathy.

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.

The incidence of musculoskeletal tuberculosis (TB) is on the rise due to the current Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) pandemic. Spine is the most common osseous site, followed by other joints. TB identified in the elbow accounts for 2%-5% of skeletal TB cases, which are secondary to pulmonary TB. Primary elbow TB is rare. We report a case of primary TB of the elbow which had a negative synovial biopsy. A 46-year-old right-hand dominant female patient with chronic pain and disability of the right elbow was diagnosed with chronic non-specific arthritis based on an arthroscopic synovial biopsy. The case was diagnosed retrospectively as active TB from bone cuts post total elbow arthroplasty. Anti-tuberculosis treatment (ATT) was given postoperatively for 12 months. The patient reported good functional outcomes at 3 years of follow-up. Such atypical presentations of osteoarticular TB are challenging to diagnose. Therefore, particularly in endemic areas, clinicians should be careful before excluding such a diagnosis even after a negative biopsy. Further research should investigate whether active TB of small joints such as the elbow can be treated with ATT, and early arthroplasty should be a focus of this research.

척추결핵은 경과가 느리고 서서히 진행하며 특이한 증상이 없으므로 임상적으로 의심하지 않으면 병이 상당히 진행된 후에야 진단되기 쉽다. 또한 침범된 부위가 척추결핵이 흔하지 않은 상부흉추, 경추, 천추부라면 진단은 더욱 늦어질 수 있다. 저자들은 국립의료원 결핵과에서 발열과 약 5개월간 지속된 상부 배부 통증으로 입원한 폐결핵환자에서 MRI 촬영으로 T5-6의 압박골절까지 초래한 상부흉추결핵을 진단하고 신경학적 이상이 생기기 전에 수술을 시행하고 항결핵약제의 치료로 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 이에 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: This study was done to learn the status of occupational injuries and illnesses among Korean nurses. Methods: Thirty four articles published between 1990 and 2007 were selected using keywords as nurse and back pain, musculoskeletal symptom, violence, needle stick injuries and latex allergy from the database. The 609 RN cases among the workers' compensation data from 2005 to 2007 were analyzed by descriptive statistics. Results: Based on the analysis of the articles, the most frequent work-related illness and injuries were the musculoskeletal symptoms including back pain. The prevalence of back pain was ranged from 36.5% to 98.5%. Tuberculosis cases were the most frequent and the musculoskeletal cases were the second rank in the workers' compensation data. In the case of violence, there has been an increasing tendency since 2000 in the articles and workers' compensation data. The relatively high percentage of compensation cases occurred among the ones working in small institutions and with less than one year experience. Conclusion: The further research on the nurses' work-related illness and injuries needs to consider the measurement tool selection and longitudinal design. The various types of contribution to the occupational health in nursing is suggested to improve the nurses' health and safety.

화농근육염은 골격근의 원발성 세균 감염으로, 주로 대퇴사두근이나 둔근에 발생한다. 화농근육염의 병리기전은 잘 알려져 있지 않으나 국소부위의 외상과 동반된 균혈증에 의한 것으로 설명되며, Staphylococcus aureus가 가장 흔한 원인균이다. Mycobacterium tuberculosis은 폐결핵을 일으키는 경우가 가장 흔하며, 활동성 폐결핵과 근골격계 결핵이 동반되는 경우는 약 30%이다. 근육내 결핵은 폐결핵을 일으키는 Mycobacterium tuberculosis가 근육 내로 침입하여 발병하는 것으로, 폐외 결핵 중 비교적 드문 형태이다. 저자들은 17개월 여아에서 다른 부위의 결핵을 동반하지 않은 근육내 결핵 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: This study analyzed the characteristics of occupational injuries and illnesses of the nursing staff to reveal the prevalence of the major diseases and the predominant causes of the injuries in the nursing environment. Methods: Total 3,455 work-related compensation cases of nursing staff from January 1 2000 to December 31 2012, were selected. The specific types of the diseases, injuries, causes and the time of the incidence were analyzed. Results: Majority of the compensated cases were young women under 30 years old. The composition of the occupational injuries and illness was 74.5% and 25.5%, respectively. Occupational infection was the major part of the occupational illnesses (47.3%), and 74% of them were tuberculosis. Musculoskeletal disorder (12.6%) was followed the infectious disease, and 36.4% of them occurred while moving the patients. Slipping was the most frequent injury; most of them resulted in the lower extremities injury. Most of the injuries increased during shift change, except workplace violence, which increased later than 19:00. Conclusion: Occupational injuries and illnesses of nursing staff need the specific prevention strategy, and the prevention strategy should be suitable for the nursing workplace.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to establish literatural evidence about traditional Korean medical physiotherapy through literatural review. Methods : Applicable paragraphs which were related to the traditional Korean medical physiotherapy were phrased from in "Hwang-je-nae-gyung(黃帝內經)", "Yumun-sa-chin(儒門事親)", "Geum-guei-yo-ryack(金匱要略)", "Eui-hack-ip-mun(醫學入門)", "Gyung-ack-jeon-seo(景岳全書)", "Eui-hack-gang-mock(醫學綱目)", "Dong-eui-bo-gam(東醫寶鑑)" where were archiving of Oriental or Korean medicine literatures. Searched paragraphs were analysed for establishing historical and theoretical bases of Korean medical physiotherapy. Results : 1. Theromtherapy is originated from yu(熨), hot hand, warm, water bath, warm earth, fumigation, lamp, torchlight and brazier. Matching indications are various musculoskeletal pain and diseases, skin diseases such as chronic inflammation, frostbite, gynecological and urogenital diseases such as uterine myoma, lower abdominal pain, metrorrhagia, breast diseases, digestive tract diseases such as vomiting, diarrhea, stomachache and also it treats cardiovascular disease. Other matching indications are sunstroke, rhinorrhea, psycosis and anal pain. And it used helping acupuncture therapy. 2. Cryotherapy is originated from lengfu(冷敷), lengtie(冷貼), cold stone and cold water.

In addition, it treats extremity coldness, chillness, stomachache caused to accumulate fever. 3. Physiotherapy by circulating meridian system is originated from manipulation such as pushing, massage and beating to therapy point. Matching indications are musculoskeletal diseases such as various muscular pain, heavy sensation, convulsion, urogenital diseases such as dysuria, lower abdomen pain, digestive tract diseases such as stomachache, and paralysis due to blocked meridian system. And other matching indications are psycosis, leprosy, hypoesthesia, acute stroke. In addition it helps other therapy methods. In addition, the power of manipulation classify to strengthen and reduce. 4. Physiotherapy by balancing meridian system is originated from sunshine, magnet, horn, bamboo and tube. Sunshine helps improving self's care and cure inflammatory skin disease. Magnet's matching indications are paralysis, various injuries, abscess, fever and eye disease. Cupping therapy treats to skin diseases and internal diseases such as tuberculosis. Conclusions : Traditional Korean medical physiotherapy was widely used in traditional Korean medicine since ancient time based on the traditional Korean medical principle and anatomical knowledge. With modern physiotherapy and traditional Korean medicine together, effects of treatment are enhanced. And traditional Korean medical physiotherapy is appropriated to world physiotherapy's expectation.
