Abstract
목적: 대학병원에 근무하던 중 활동성 폐결핵으로 진단된 전공의에게 노출된 의료종사자들에 대하여 실시한 접촉자 조사의 결과를 보고한다. 방법: 활동성 폐결핵 환자와 밀접한 접촉을 한 사람(접촉자) 101명 중 89명이 접촉자 조사에 응하여 조사를 받았다. 1차 접촉자 조사는 지표환자의 증상 개시 후 30일경에, 2차 조사는 1차 조사 10주 후에 기침, 발열, 인후통, 체중 감소와 같은 임상증상 확인 및 단순흉부촬영과 함께 결핵반응검사(Tuberculin skin test, TST)/QuantiFERON-TB Gold (QFT-G) 2단계 검사법을 시행하였다. 결과: 1차 TST 양성자는 34명(38.2%)이었고, TST 양성자 중 35세 이하 접촉자에서 시행한 QFT-G 양성률은 37.5% (6/16)이었다. 1차 TST 음성 대상자 41명에게서 시행한 2차 TST에서 17명(41.5%)이 양전을 보였고 그들 중 시행한 QFT-G 검사에서 3명(17.6%)이 양성이었다. 활동성 결핵으로 진단된 접촉자는 없었으며 지표환자에 노출되어 발생한 결핵 전파율은 2단계 검사법으로는 7.3% (3/41)였고, TST 진단법으로는 41.5% (17/41)였다. 결론: 국내에서 처음 보고되는 병원 내 결핵 접촉자 조사 연구로서 LTBI 발생률이 그 진단 기법에 따라 달랐으며 따라서 앞으로 발생할 수 있는 의료종사자들에 대한 병원 내 결핵 접촉자 조사를 위해 조직적이고 실용적인 가이드라인이 필요할 것이다. Purpose: This study aimed to describe the results of a contact investigation on health care workers after exposure to a house officer with smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Methods: Eighty nine out of 101 subjects who had close contact with the index patient agreed to be enrolled in the investigation. The first contact investigation was conducted approximately 30 days after the index patient`s onset of symptoms, followed by the second investigation after 10 weeks. In both, clinical manifestations were studied, and chest X-ray and tuberculin skin test (TST)/QuantiFERON-TB Gold (QFT-G) in dual screening strategy were conducted. Results: The first TST resulted in positive in 34 subjects (38.2%). QFT-G was conducted on 16 subjects who tested positive in the first TST and aged under 36. Six of them (37.5%) were positive. The second TST was conducted on 41 subjects with negative results in the first TST. Seventeen (41.5%) were positive and among them, three (17.6%) showed positive QFT-G. None of the subjects were diagnosed with active TB. The probability of TB infection through contact with the index patient was 7.3% (3/41) in dual screening strategy while it was 41.5% (17/41) in TST strategy. Conclusions: This first hospital-setting contact investigation for tuberculosis in Korea revealed that latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) rates vary depending on different diagnostic strategies. This indicates the need for systematic guidelines for diagnosing LTBI in health care workers who have professional exposure to TB.
