배경: 지역 사회 획득 폐렴은 전 세계적으로 유병률과 사망률이 높은 주요한 감염 질환 중의 하나이다. Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Legionella pneumophila, Bordetella pertussis 등은 지역 사회 획득 폐렴의 흔한 원인균들이나, 배양 등의 전통적인 방법은 민감도가 낮고 시간이 많이 소요된다. 최근 이 균주들을 한 번에 검사할 수 있는 다중 PCR 검사가 개발되어, 본 연구에서는 폐렴 환자의 호흡기 검체에서다중 PCR 검사를 평가하고자 하였다. 방법: 폐렴 환자 100명과 정상인 99명에 대해 Seeplex Pneumobacter ACE Detection assay (Seegene Inc., Seoul, Korea)를시행하였다. 소변 항원 검사와 배양 검사도 함께 실시하였다. 결과: 다중 PCR 결과 S. pneumoniae와 H. influenzae가 각각 폐렴 환자의 52.5% (53/101), 30.7% (31/101)에서 양성이었고,M. pneumoniae와 L. pneumophila는 각각 2.0% (2/101), 1.0% (1/101)에서 양성이었으며, B. pertussis 및 C. pneumoniae는검출되지 않았다. 정상인은 S. pneumoniae와 H. influenzae의 양성률이 각각 53.5% (53/99), 40.4% (40/99)로 폐렴군과 비슷하게 나타났고, 나머지 4균주는 검출되지 않았다. 폐렴군에서 S. pneumoniae의 다중 PCR 검사에 대한 민감도와 특이도는소변 항원 검사, 호흡기 검체 및 혈액 배양 검사를 모두 기준으로 했을 때 각각 100% (95% 신뢰구간, 87.9∼100%)와66.7% (95% 신뢰구간, 55.2∼76.5%)였다. 결론: S. pneumoniae와 H. influenzae 균주의 다중 PCR 검사는 집락 형성과 현성 감염의 감별이 어려워 분자 유전 검사를적용하기 적합하지 않다. M. pneumoniae와 L. pneumophila는 정상인에서 검출되지 않았고, 배양하기도 어려워 다중 PCR 검사가 유용할 것으로 생각한다. [대한임상미생물학회지 2010;13:40-46]
Abstract
Background: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP)is a major infectious disease with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Streptococcus pneumoniae,Haemophilus influenzae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae,Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Legionella pneumophila,and Bordetella pertussis are common pathogens of CAP; however, the conventional methods used to detect these agents, including culturing, lack sensitivity and are time-consuming. We evaluated a recently developed multiplex PCR assay which can test these agents simultaneously. Methods: One hundred patients with pneumonia and 99 healthy adults were tested using the Seeplex Pneumobacter ACE Detection assay (Seegene, Inc.,Seoul, Korea). Culture and urinary antigen tests were also performed. Results: In patients with pneumonia, the positive detection rates of PCR for S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae were 52.0% (52/100) and 30.0% (30/100), respectively,those of M. pneumoniae and L. pneumophila were 2.0% (2/100) and 1.0% (1/100), respectively,and B. pertussis and C. pneumoniae were not detected. In healthy adults, the detection rates of S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae revealed similar results,53.5% (53/101) and 40.4% (40/101), respectively,and the other four pathogens were not detected. The sensitivity and specificity of PCR for S. pneumoniae in pneumonia patients were 100% (95%confidence interval [CI], 87.9∼100%) and 65.7%(95% CI, 55.2∼76.5%), respectively, according to the urinary antigen test and cultures of the respiratory samples and blood. Conclusion: Differentiating S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae colonization from infection was difficult using the PCR assay. Therefore, the use of this assay is inappropriate for the diagnosis of pneumonia due to these agents, although multiplex PCR assay would be useful for the detection of M. pneumoniae and L. pneumophila.
