초록

농뇨는 가와사키병 환아의 약 30-60%에 동반되는 소견으로, 임상적 증후가 다 나타나지 않은 초기의 가와사키병 또는 불완전 가와사키병에서 요로감염으로 오인할 수 있으나, 불완전 가와사키병 진단에 중요한 검사실 소견 중 하나일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국의 5세 미만 영유아에서 가와사키병 진단 전 요로감염으로 선행 진단 사례의 유병률과 역학적 위험인자를 평가하고자 한다. 건강보험심사평가원에서 제공하고 있는 보건의료 빅데이터 개방시스템 자료를 바탕으로 2007년 11월부터 2019년 10월까지 가와사키병과 요로감염으로 진료, 청구된 대상자에 대해 후향적 단면연구를 시행 하였다. 가와사키병 확정 진단 전 1주일 이내의 요로감염 선행 진단된 환아의 발생률을 계산하였고, 카이제곱 (χ2 test) 검정을 실시하였다. 연령, 성별, 지역, 계절별 발생률에 대한 요로감염 선행 진단 여부에 대해 로지스틱 분석 (logistic regression)을 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 총 53,822명의 가와사키병 환자가 포함되었으며 그 중 304명 (0.56%)이 선행 요로감염 진단이 있었다. 12개월 미만에서의 요로감염 선행 진단률이 가장 높았으며 (0.95%), 4세와 비교했을 때 요로 감염 선행진단의 오즈비는 3.12 (2.05-4.77) 였다. 발열을 동반한 농뇨가 있는 영아의 일부에서는 불완전 가와사키병의 감별진단이 필요할 수 있다.

Purpose: Children with incomplete Kawasaki disease (KD) and pyuria may be misdiagnosed with urinary tract infection (UTI) during the early phase of the prodrome. We investigated the percentage of UTI diagnoses preceding a KD diagnosis. Methods: Using the National Health Insurance data of South Korea, we assessed differences in UTI diagnoses made during the week preceding a KD diagnosis, according to demographic and geographic factors from November 2007-October 2019. Results: A total of 53,822 KD cases were identified, including 304 patients (0.56%) diagnosed with a UTI during the week preceding a KD diagnosis. The younger age group (0-11 months) showed the highest percentage of preceding UTI diagnoses (0.95%), with higher odds than 4-year-old children (3.12; 95% confidence interval, 2.05-4.77). Conclusions: These findings suggest a potentially misleading presentation of incomplete KD, a clinical conundrum requiring further investigation and validation, particularly in infants.
