초록

목적: 급성 뇌염이 의심되는 증상으로 응급실을 방문한 소아 환자들에서 응급실 방문 첫 24시간 이내에 시행된 혈액 및 뇌척수액 검사, 뇌파, 뇌 자기공명영상촬영에 대해 조사, 분석하고 추정 가능한 예후인자를 파악하고자 하였다. 방법: 부산대 어린이병원에서 2009년부터 2013년까지 급성 무균성 뇌염으로 진단 및 치료받은 소아들을 대상으로 후향적 연구를 시행하였다. 환자들의 예후에 따라 세 군으로 분류하였다(A군; 신경학적 후유증 없이 회복된 환자들, B군; 운동 혹은 인지장애, 행동문제등의 신경학적 합병증이 동반된 환자들, C군; B군 중에서 뇌전증이동반된 환자들). 결과: 전체 대상환자는 128명이었다(A군; 89명, B군; 39명, C군; 26 명). 평균 연령은 C군(7.5±5.3세)이 A군(5.6±4.6세)에 비해 의미있게높았다(P=0.042). 가장 많이 나타난 증상은 발열(102명, 79.7%)이며그 다음은 의식상태 변화(87명, 68%), 경련(77명, 60.2%) 순이었다. B 군과 C군 모두 A군에 비해 급성기 경련발생, 뇌전증지속증, 불응성 뇌전증지속증, 재발성 경련이 모두 유의하게 자주 발생하였고 증상 발생후 치료시작까지 걸린 기간도 의미있게 길었다. 뇌파 및 뇌 MRI 소견에서, B군과 C군에서 A군에 비해 미만성 서파와 뇌전증모양방전, 그리고 조기에 뇌부종 소견이 의미있게 흔히 관찰되었다. 결론: 급성 무균성 뇌염의 소아들에서 응급실 방문한 급성기부터불량한 예후와 연관된 임상 양상 및 검사실 소견 유무를 파악해서이후 치료 경과에 더 적극적인 지지와 면밀한 관찰을 고려하고자 함이다.

Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the risk and clinical outcome indicators of pediatric acute encephalitis within 24 hour in the emergency department. Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of children admitted to a tertiary center with the diagnosis of acute encephalitis between 2009 and 2013. Three objectively-defined groups were identified according to clinical outcomes during hospitalization and discharge: (A) favorable outcomes with nearly complete recovery; (B) unfavorable outcomes with cognitive and/or motor deficit or neurological complication; (C) especially, progression to the epilepsy among children of group B. Results: 128 children met the inclusion criteria (89 in group A, 39 in group B, and 26 in group C). The difference among the groups A, B and C respectively was in age (5.6±4.6, 6.8±5.0 and 7.5±5.3 years, P=0.042 [A vs C]). The most common presenting symptoms were fever (79.7%), decreased mentality (68.0%), and seizures (60.2%). Status epilepticus (SE, >5 min) (38.5%, 38.5% vs 12.4%, P<0.001) and relapse seizures after first 24 hr (51.3%, 61.5% vs 2.2%, P<0.001) were more frequent in group B and C than in group A. Continuous diffuse slowing (74.4%, 76.9% vs 51.7%, P=0.017) and epileptiform discharges (30.8%, 34.6% vs 10.1%, P=0.004) on electroencephalogram (EEG) were significantly often in group B and C than in group A. Patients of group B and C (20.5% and 19.2%, P<0.001) had significantly higher incidence of the brain edema on initial brain MRI than them of group A (5.6%). Conclusion: SE, relapse seizures, diffuse slowing on EEG, and brain edema may suggest of the unfavorable outcomes in children of acute encephalitis.
