45두의 브로일러 중 2두에서 배양과 직접 현미경 검사에 의해 폐 접합균증이 진단되었다. 폐의 병변부를 Sabouraud 배지에 접종하고 37$^{\circ}C$에서 배양하여 Absidia corymbifera가 분리되었다. 폐조직으로 squash표본을 만들어 직접 현미경 검사를 한 결과 폭이 넓고, 격벽이 없으며, 분지를 나타내는 접합균형 균사를 나타내었다. 감염된 폐조직의 PAS 염색 날인표본에서도 이와 비슷한 균요소가 발견되었다. 닭장의 흙과 닭똥으로부터 고농도의 A. corymbifera가 증명되었는데 이것은 이 브로일러균에서 환경이 감염원이었던 것을 제시하는 것으로 판단된다. 닭의 폐렴 감별진단에 있어서 접합균류도 고려할 것이 강력히 주장되었다.

In order to perform an epidemiological characterization of opportunistic mycosis infections, we collected health insurance data between the years 2006 and 2010 from the Health Insurance Corporation and analyzed the data to determine the prevalence of opportunistic mycoses and treatment management of opportunistic mycoses. The prevalence within the study increased consecutively by 0.02% to 0.12% every year. The annual prevalence of opportunistic mycoses increased from 2.437% in 2006 to 2.709% in 2010. The average annual prevalence was 2.605%. Candidiasis occurred the most frequently, followed by aspergillosis, zygomycosis, and cryptococcosis. The regions with the highest incidences were the capital areas, Gyeonggi and Seoul. By sex, the prevalence in females (4.851%) was 14 times higher than that in males (0.352%). Interestingly, the adults from the 20- to 49-year-old age group showed higher prevalence than children and the elderly. The average duration of hospitalized treatment was 17.31 days and of outpatient treatment was 2.21 days; 3,577 hundred million won was used in total for medical expenses. This study provides useful data to study trends of opportunistic mycoses.
