  • While carbapenems are the drug of choice to treat extended-spectrum-${\beta}$-lactamase (ESBL)-producing strains, some alternative carbapenem-sparing regimens are suggested for antibiotic stewardship. We experienced a case of ciprofloxacin treatment failure for acute pyelonephritis caused by an apparently susceptible Escherichia coli. A 71-year-old woman presented the emergency department with fever for 7 days and bilateral flank pain for 2 days. The laboratory results and abdominopelvic computed tomography finding were compatible with acute pyelonephritis. During 3-day ciprofloxacin therapy, the patient remained febrile with persistent bacteremia. After the change in antibiotics to ertapenem, the patient's clinical course started to improve. ESBL-producing E. coli isolates were identified in all three consecutive blood samples. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns, serotypes, and sequence types showed the three isolates were derived from the identical strain. The isolates produced CTX-M-14 type ESBL belonging to the ST69 clonal group. Despite in vitro susceptibility, the failure was attributed to a gyrA point mutation encoding Ser83Leu within quinolone resistance-determining regions. This case suggests that ciprofloxacin should be used cautiously in the treatment of serious infections caused by ciprofloxacin-susceptible, ESBL-producing E. coli, even in acute pyelonephritis because in-vitro susceptibility tests could fail to detect certain genetic mutations.

  • 목 적 : 요로감염 환아에서 영구적 신장손상을 예측하기 위하여, 연령, 발열기간 및 농뇨 지속기간, 방광요관역류나 수신증 여부 등을 비교, 분석하였다. 방 법 : 2000년 1월부터 2005년 1월까지 아주대학교 병원에서 요로감염으로 입원한 환아 중 DMSA에서 신장 결손을 보인 160명의 환아를 대상으로 6개월 후 추적 DMSA에서 회복된 회복군과 반흔이 남은 반흔군으로 나누어 각각의 특징을 비교분석하였다. 결 과 : 전체 대상 환아 160명 중 106명이 추적 DMSA에서 회복을 보였고, 54명이 반흔이 남아 33.8%의 발생률을 보였다. 반흔군에서 처음 진단 당시의 나이가1세 이상인 환자가 회복군에 비해 많았고(P=0.01), 발열기간, 농뇨지속 기간 등이 회복군에 비해 길었으며, 발열의 기왕력이 있었다. VCUG, Ultra-sound sonography에서도 반흔군이 회복군에 비해 비정상적 결과를 보인 경우가 많았다. 결 론 : 급성신우신염을 앓은 소아에서 감염당시 환아의 나이가 많을수록, 발열 기간이나 농뇨 지속 기간이 오래 될수록, 방광요관역류나 초음파검사 이상소견이 있는 초기 신결손이 신반흔으로 고착되는 경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 잦은 발열 기왕력이 있는 경우 신손상 발생률이 높은 것을 볼 때, 이는 임상에서 미처 진단되지 못한, 혹은 잘 못 진단된 급성신우신염이 있음을 시사해 준다.

  • We report the case of a 12-year-old girl who had mild encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) associated with acutepyelonephritis caused by Escherichia coli. The patient was admitted with a high fever, and she was diagnosed with acute pyelonephritis based on pyuria and the results of urine culture, which detected cefotaxime-sensitive E. coli. Although intravenous cefotaxime and tobramycin were administered, her fever persisted and her C-reactive protein level increased to 307 mg/L. On day 3 of admission, she demonstrated abnormal neuropsychiatric symptoms, such as delirium, ataxia, and word salad. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain performed on day 4 showed marked hyperintensities in the bilateral corpus callosum and deep white matter on diffusion-weighted images, with corresponding diffusion restriction on apparent diffusion coefficient mapping. No abnormalities or pathogens were detected in the cerebrospinal fluid; however, lipopolysaccharides (LPS, endotoxin) were detected in plasma (41.6 pg/mL), associated with acute neurological deterioration. Her clinical condition gradually improved, and no neurological abnormalities were observed on day 6. Follow-up brain MRI performed 2 weeks later showed near-disappearance of the previously noted hyperintense lesions. In this patient, we first proved endotoxemia in a setting of MERS. The release of LPS following antibiotic administration might be related to the development of MERS in this patient. The possibility of MERS should be considered in patients who present with acute pyelonephritis and demonstrate delirious behavior.

  • Introduction: In this case report, we addressed the effects of a Korean medicine treatment on recurrent pyelonephritis in a female patient with a duplicated collecting system. Case report: A 22-year-old female with acute pyelonephritis was treated with Korean medicine, including herbal medication, Insampaedok-san plus Oryeong-san, and with antibiotic therapy. We evaluated the improvements in her symptoms by measuring C-reactive protein, WBC count, body temperature, and a numeric rating scale for nausea. The symptoms of fever and nausea improved after two days of hospitalization. From the 4th day of taking the herbal medicine, the antibiotic IV infusion was changed to oral agents. Conclusions: This clinical case study suggests that modified Insampaedok-san might have shortened the duration of intravenous antibiotic infusion and hospitalization for recurrent pyelonephritis in a female patient with a bifid ureter.

  • 소아에서 급성 신우신염은 상대적으로 흔한 세균 감염 질환이다. 이전에 건강했던 소아에서 요로계의 폐쇄, 저혈압에 의한 신장 허혈, 신장 독성물질에의 노출 등이 없이는 급성 신우신염의 결과로 급성 신부전이 생기기는 매우 드물다. 저자들은 이전에 건강했던 소아에서 방광요관 역류가 동반된 급성 신우신염과 신장 농양에 따른 급성 신부전이 발생한 예를 보고하는 바이다. 환자는 적절한 수액 치료와 항생제 치료를 통해 호전되었다. 증례를 통해 저자들은 급성 신우신염이 급성 신부전의 감별진단에포함되어야 하며, 신장기능의 완전한 회복을 위해서는 적절한 항생제 치료가 수반되어야 함을 제시하는 바이다.

  • Purpose: The diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis (APN) is often difficult, as its clinical and biological manifestations are non-specific in children. If not treated quickly and adequately, however, APN may cause irreversible renal damage, possibly leading to hypertension and chronic renal failure. We were suspecting the diagnostic value of $^{99m}Tc$-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan by experiences and so compared the results of DMSA scan to those of multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT). Methods: We retrospectively selected and analyzed 81 patients who were diagnosed as APN by MDCT during evaluation of their acute abdomen in emergency room and then received DMSA scan also for the diagnostic work-up of APN after admission. We evaluated the results of imaging studies and compared the diagnostic value of each method by age groups, <2 years (n=45) and ${\geq}$2 years (n=36). Results: Among total 81 patients with MDCT-proven APN, DMSA scan was diagnostic only in 55 children (68%), while the remaining 26 children (32%) showed false negative normal findings. These 26 patients were predominantly male and most of them, 19 (73.1%) were <2 years of age. Conclusion: DMSA scan holds obvious limitation compared to MDCT in depicting acute inflammatory lesions of kidney in children with APN, especially in early childhood less than 2 years of age. MDCT showed hidden lesions of APN, those were undetectable through DMSA scan in children.

  • Background: Acute pyelonephritis (APN) is one of the most common community-acquired bacterial infections. Recent increases of antimicrobial resistance in urinary pathogens might have changed the other epidemiologic characteristics of APN. The objective of this study was to describe the current epidemiology of APN in Korea, using the entire population. Methods: From the claims database of the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service in Korea, the patients with International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision codes N10 (acute tubulo-interstitial nephritis) or N12 (tubulo-interstitial nephritis, neither acute nor chronic) as the primary discharge diagnosis during 2010-2014 were analyzed, with two or more claims during a 14-day period considered as a single episode. Results: The annual incidence rate of APN per 10,000 persons was 39.1 and was on the increase year to year (35.6 in 2010; 36.7 in 2011; 38.9 in 2012; 40.1 in 2013; 43.8 in 2014, P = 0.004). The increasing trend was observed in both inpatients (P = 0.014) and outpatients (P = 0.004); in both men (P = 0.042) and women (P = 0.003); and those aged under 55 years (P = 0.014) and 55 years or higher (P = 0.003). Eleven times more women were diagnosed and treated with APN than men (men vs. women, 6.5 vs. 71.3), and one of every 4.1 patients was hospitalized (inpatients vs. outpatients, 9.6 vs. 29.4). The recurrence rate was 15.8%, and the median duration from a sporadic episode (i.e., no episode in the preceding 12 months) to the first recurrence was 44 days. The recurrence probability increased with the number of previous recurrences. The average medical cost per inpatient episode was USD 1,144, which was 12.9 times higher than that per outpatient episode (USD 89). Conclusion: The epidemiology of APN in Korea has been changing with an increasing incidence rate.

  • 목 적 : 본 연구에서는 급성 신우신염으로 진단 받은 환아에서 여러 임상 증상 및 검사 결과와 방사선학적 검사에서 확인된 신실질 손상의 관계를 알아보기 위하여 DMSA 신 스캔, 신장 초음파, IVP, VCUG 등의 방사선학적 검사의 유용성과 방사선학적 검사의 결과에 따른 환아들의 임상 증상 및 검사 소견을 비교 분석하였다. 방 법 : 1998년 1월부터 2002년 12월까지 열성요로 감염으로 처음 진단되어 입원 치료받았던 환아 115명을 대상으로 연구를 실시하였다. 이들은 DMSA 신 스캔, 신장 초음파, IVP, VCUG를 포함한 방사선학적 검사를 시행하였으며 각 검사의 양성률을 통하여 그 유용성을 비교하였다. 또한, 환아들의 연령, 성별, 발열 기간, 원인 균, 혈액학적 소견(백혈구 수, CRP, ESR)을 방사선학적 검사 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 연령에 따라 1군(1세 미만)과 2군(1세 이상)으로 분류하였으며, 각 군간의 검사 양성률 비교를 위해 chi-square test를 이용하여 통계 분석하였다. 결 과 : 방사선학적 검사 중 DMSA 신 스캔이 가장 높은 양성률을 보였다(DMSA 신 스캔 46$\%$, 신장 초음파 32$\%$, IVP 28$\%$, VCUG 22$\%$, P<0.05). 환아의 발열 기간, 백혈구 수, 원인균은 방사선학적 검사 결과와 관련이 없었으나 CRP, ESR이 DMSA 신 스캔의 양성률과 밀접한 관계를 보였다. 연령별로 비교했을 때 1군에 비해 2군에서 DMSA 신 스캔 양성률이 증가하였으며 (1군 40$\%$, 2군 79$\%$, P<0.05), VCUG 역시 2군에서 녹은 양성률을 보였다(1군 16$\%$, 2군 50$\%$, P<0.05). 그러나 신장 초음파와 IVP는 각 군간 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 성별로 비교했을 때 남아에 비하여 여아에서 DMSA 신 스캔 및 VCUG의 양성률이 높았으나(DMSA; 남아 39$\%$, 여아 67$\%$, VCUG; 남아 15$\%$, 여아 43$\%$, P<0.05) 신장 초음파와 IVP는 성별에 따른 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결 론 : 급성 요로 감염에 이환된 환아는 신손상 여부의 확인을 위하여 DMSA 신 스캔을 시행하는 것이 가장 도움이 되며, DMSA 신 스캔과 VCUG의 이상은 여아와 2세 이상에서 양성률이 높으므로, 이와 같은 경우에는 이 두 가지 검사를 반드시 시행하여야 할 것으로 사료된다.
