초록
배 경 : 객담 항산균 도말 검사는 저렴하고 간편한 검사이며, 검사 결과를 빨리 얻을 수 있다는 장점이 있지만, 결핵균과 NTM을 구별하지 못한다는 제한점이 있다. 외국에서는 도말 양성 환자에서 폐결핵과 NTM 폐질환을 구별하기 위하여 TB-PCR 검사가 권장되고 있다. 본 연구는 국내에서도 객담 도말 양성 환자에서 객담 또는 기관지 세척액의 TB-PCR 검사가 폐결핵과 NTM 감염의 감별 진단에 유용한가를 알아보고자 하였다.대상 및 방법 : 2003년 1월 1일부터 2003년 12월 31일까지 1년간 진단검사의학과 임상미생물검사실로 항산균 도말 및 배양검사가 의뢰된 객담 검체 중 도말과 배양이 모두 양성인 826건의 객담 검체를 연구대상으로 하였고, 이 검체가 분리된 환자 299명의 의무기록과 방사선학적 소견을 후향적으로 조사하였다.

Abstract
Background : Microscopic examination of sputum smears for acid-fast bacilli (AFB) is the most important and rapid diagnostic test for pulmonary tuberculosis. However, the AFB observed on the smear may represent either M. tuberculosis or nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). This study examined the clinical usefulness of a polymerase chain reaction test for M. tuberculosis (TB-PCR) for the differentiation of pulmonary tuberculosis and NTM lung disease in patients with smear-positive sputums in a tertiary hospital in Korea. Material and Methods : From January, 2003 to December, 2003, 826 AFB smear-positive and culture-positive sputum specimens were collected from 299 patients. Results : NTM were recovered from 26.6% (220/826) of the smear-positive sputum specimens and 23.4% (70/299) of the patients with smear-positive sputum. All the patients with isolated NTM had clinically significant NTM lung disease; 38 patients (54.3%) had M. avium and 26 patients (37.1%). had M. abscessus. In the patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, 78.7% of the patients (74/94) showed TB-PCR positivity, and all the patients with NTM lung disease showed negative results on the TB-PCR test (p<0.001). A positive result of the TB-PCR test on the sputum or bronchial washing fluid specimens was able to predict pulmonary tuberculosis with 88.4% sensitivity, 100% specificity, a 100% positive predictive value and a 79.7% negative predictive value for the patients with smear-positive sputum. Conclusion : The TB-PCR test for sputum specimens or bronchial washing fluid specimens could be useful for differentiating pulmonary tuberculosis and NTM lung disease for the patients with smear-positive sputum in Korea.
