1 폐렴및호흡기질환의치료와 심사사례 성균관의대강북삼성병원감염내과 염준섭

2 서 론 미국 : 매년 560만명의환자발생 -- 20% 입원 사망률 - 외래에서치료가능한환자 : 1-5% - 입원치료가필요한환자 : 25% - 국내 ( 사망원인통계결과 ) : 2001년 ; 6.1명 /10만명, 1991년 ; 5.1명 /10만명 50-90% 가외래에서치료 30-40% 는원인을밝혀내지못함 획일적치료지침수립의어려움 : 환자, 지역사회, 병원등의특성에따라복잡 2

3 항생제선택의어려움 1. Difference in clinical signs and symptoms for bacterial and viral etiology: not clear 2. Obtaining uncomplicated specimens: difficult 3. Even when specimens are obtained, microbiological results are inconclusive approximately 50% of the time 3

4 Pathogenesis of CAP Aspiration of oropharyngeal secretion: descend Inhalation and spread along mucous membrane Hematogenous spread: Staphylococcus Contiguous spread 4

5 Etiologic agents in CAP Etiologic agents Cases(%) Bacteria S. pneumoniae Haemophilus influenzae Moraxella catarrhalis S.aureus Other gram-negative species Atypicals Mycoplasma spp. Chlamydia spp. Legionella spp. Viruses Aspiration pneumonia No diagnosis AJM 2004;117:39s-50s 5

16 Definition of hospital-acquired acquired Pneumonia Clinical diagnosis Occurring > 48 hrs after admission Presence of new lung infiltration Clinical evidence is of an infectious origin - fever - purulent sputum - leukocytosis Exclusion - heart failure, atelectasis, thromboembolism, drug reaction, hemorrhage, ARDS, etc (Am J Respir Crit Care Med 1995;153:1711) 16

27 Diagnosis of CAP

28 Base line Chest X ray! For diagnosis of pneumonia infiltrates is necessary For detecting alternative diagnosis or associated conditions To predict pathogens To assess severity Baseline to assess response 28

29 False negative results on Chest X-ray Dehydration Evaluation during the first 24 hours Pneumonia due to Pneumocystis carinii Pneumonia with profound neutropenia 29

30 DDx of lesion on CXR Congestive heart failure Pulmonary embolism Pulmonary edema Vasculitis Pulmonary malignancy Reactive airway diseases Atelectasis 30

31 Laboratory exam Outpatients sputum Gram stain is desirable culture for conventional bacteria is optional Inpatients etiologic diagnosis is recommended 31

32 Exam for in-patients CBC Blood cultures (before treatment) : 5-14% positive rate for hospitalized CAP : most common isolate is S. pneumoniae : yield of positive blood culture results is halved by prior antibiotics Gram stain and culture of sputum Chemistry (BUN/creatinine, glucose, electrolyte, bilirubin, and liver enzyme) O2 saturation AFB smear (in Korea) 32

33 Sputum Sample: Pros & Cons Pros Optimal Antibiotic Selection Detect resistance and monitor trends antibiotic costs Cons Not all patients can provide sample (up to 30%) Interpretation is observer dependent Doesn t detect atypicals Epidemiology Strategy for changing IV to PO Low yield (40 to 60% of results are negative) 33

34 Sputum Examination Adequate sputum <10 squamous epithelial cells & >25 PMNLs/LPF Interpretation large amount of epithelial cells; contamination many PMNLs; suggestion of infection many PMNLs & many bacteria; typical pneumonia a few PMNLs & a few bacteria; not infection or atypical pneumonia a few PMNLs & many bacteria; colonization 34

35 Diagnostic accuracy Diagnostic of pathogenic role, regardless of specimen source Bacteria Legionella species Mycobacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis Viruses Influenza Respiratory syncytial virus HantavirusParainfluenzaAdenovirus Parasites - Stongylodes species, T. gondii Fungi Pneumocystis carinii Histoplasma gondii Coccidioides Non diagnostic if recovered from usual respiratory specimens a Virtually all other bacteria, including Norcardia and Actinomyces species Mycobacteria other than M. tuberculosis Cytomegalovirus Herpes simplex virus Candida species Aspergillus species Zygomycetes species Blastomyces dermatitidis Cryptococcus neoformans 35

36 Definite Diagnosis of Pneumonia Blood culture positive for a pathogen Pleural fluid, transtracheal, transthoracic specimen culture positive Culture positive from respiratory secretions of a likely pathogen that does not colonize the upper airway (M. tuberculosis, Legionella, influenza, P. carinii) 4 fold rising in titer of Ab to M. pneumoniae Isolation of L. pneumophila, a 4 fold rising in titer of Ab or urinary Ag (+) positive direct fluorescent Ab testing for legionella and a titer 1:256 serum or urine positive for S. pneumoniae Ag 36

37 Possible Diagnosis of Pneumonia Compatible clinical symptoms + detection (by staining or culture) of likely pulmonary pathogen in respiratory secretions (expectorated sputum, bronchoscopic aspirate, or quantitatively cultured BAL fluid) With semiquantitative culture, the pathogen should be recovered in moderate to heavy growth 37

38 Invasive Procedures Trans-tracheal aspiration - upper respiratory tract 의 contamination 을피할수있다. - sensitivity(>90%) 는높지만, specificity 가떨어진다. - complications : puncture or laceration of trachea, hypoxemia ( paroximal cough) subcutaneous or mediastinal emphysema, death Percutaneous transthoracic lung puncture - CT-guided fine needle insertion - 비교적 tolerable 하지만 diffuse lesion 인경우나 ventilator 를가지고있는환자에서는사용할수없다. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy - lower respiratory tract 의 secretion 을얻는 standard invasive method - safe and well tolerable - diffuse lung lesion 이유용 - specimen collection by protected double-sheathed brush(psb) : 항생제투여전에실시해야 bronchoalveolar lavage(bal) : 80% sensitivity in some pathogens transbronchial lung biopsy(tblb) : 40-60% 의진단율 38

39 Open lung biopsy - immunocompromised patient 에서 bronchoscopy 로얻은 specimen 으로도진단이안된경우 - 진단률 : 25-80% Examination of pleural effusion - Patient hospitalized with pneumonia and pleural effusion : 40% - Laboratory tests : total cell count with differential, Gram stain, cultures, ph, glucose - Gram stain and culture of pleural fluid : etiologic diagnosis - Pleural biopsy in pneumonia : little value only DDx with tuberculosis, tumors, pulmonary emboli, collagen disease 39

40 Other test Urinary Ag test for S. pneumoniae & Legionella Mycoplasma serology Chlamydia serology Thoracentesis with stain, culture, and ph and leukocyte count differential (pleural fluid) Induced sputum: optional (recommended for detection of M. tuberculosis or Pneumocystis carinii) 40

62 Duration of Treatment The presence of coexisting illness and/or bacteremia, the severity of illness at the onset of antibiotic therapy, and the subsequent hospital course should be considered in determining the duration of antibiotic therapy S.pneumoniae and other bacterial infections Generally 7-10 days M. pneumoniae and C. pneumoniae days Leginnaire s disease days in immunocompetent patients > 14 days in patients chronically treated with corticosteroids 62
