Abstract
[한글]

저자는 1974년 1월부터 1978년 8월까지 만 4년 8개월간 연세대학교 부속 세브란스병원 소아과에 입원하였던 환아 8,952예 중 38.5℃ 이상의 발열이 2주이상 지속되었고 입원당시 그 진단이 확실치 않았던 환아 120예를 대상으로 하여 그 연령, 성별, 계절별 분포, 임상증상 및 검사소견등을 검토하였고 최종진단 및 치료결과 등을 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다.

1. 2주이상 지속된 원인불명의 발열을 주소로 입원하였던 환아는 만 4년 8개월간 총 입원환아 8,952예중 120예로 1.3퍼센트를 차지하였다.

2. 연령 및 성별분포

총 120예중 1세 미만이 16예 (13.3퍼센트), 1세에서 6세사이가 64예 (53.3%)로서 6세미만이 전체의 3분의 2를 차지 하였으며 남아가 74예, 여아가 46예로 남녀의 비는 1.6대 1이었다.

3. 계절별 분포

일년간 별 뚜렷한 차이는 볼 수 없었으나 5월부터 9월까지 다소 높은 발생율을 보이고 있었다.

4. 입원전 발열기간

약 반수인 58예가 2주에서 3주간의 발열을 보였고 1개월 이상 계속된 예도 27예 (22.5퍼센트)이었다. 열형을 보면 간헐형(間歇型)이 75예 (62.5퍼센트), 이장형(弛張型)이 32예 (26.7퍼센트), 계류형(稽留型)이 13예 (10.8퍼센트)였는데 이와 같은 발열기간 및 열형은 진단을 내리거나 병의 경과를 예측하는데 도움이 되지 않았다.

5, 최종진단명

전체환아중 감염성 질환이 81예로 67.5퍼센트, 악성종양이 17예 (14.2퍼센트), 교원질환이 7예 (5.8퍼센트), 기타 1예 (0.8퍼센트), 진단받지 못하고 퇴원한 예가 14예 (11.7퍼센트)로서 감염성질환이 가장 많았다.

감염성 질환 81예중 59예 (72.8퍼센트)가 6세 이하로 6세 이상에 비해 훨씬 많았으며 악성종양은 연령별 차이가 없었으나 교원질환은 7예중 5예가 6세이상에서 발생되었다.

6. 입원후 최종진단이 내려지기 까지의 기간

입원당일에 34예 (28.3퍼센트), 2내지 7일에 66예 (55.0퍼센트)로 80퍼센트 이상이 1주이내에 진단되었다.

해열이 된 시기는 일주일이내가 53예 (44.2퍼센트)였으며 특히 입원한 당일로 열이 떨어졌던 예가 30예 (25.0퍼센트)로 약 70퍼센트가 일주일이내에 해열이 되었다.

평균 입원기간은 일주일이내가 52예 (43.3퍼센트), 1주에서 2주가 38예 (31.7퍼센트)로 75퍼센트가 2주이내에 퇴원하였다.

Author reviewed the patients with temperature over 38.5℃ for longer than two weeks and of undetermined etiology who were admitted and treated in Yonsei Medical Center during the period from Jan. 1974 to Aug. 1978. There have been 120 cases of prolonged fever in that period.

The following results were obtained;

1. The children who were admitted with prolonged fever occupied 1.3% of total in-patients at the same period.

2. 16 cases were less than 1 year of age at admission and 64 were 1 to 6 years.

So 2/3 of total cases were less than 6 years of age. The ratio of Male to Female was 1.6:1.

3. There was no apparent difference in seasolnal incidence. But from May to September slightly increased number was noted.

4. In 58 cases (48.3%) the fever persisted 2 to 3 weeks before admission and 27 cases lasted longer than a month. Three patterns of fever were observed: intermittent type 75 cases (62.5%), daily spiking 32(26.7%) and constant 13(10.8%).

5. The final diagnoses as a cause of fever were as follows. Infections accounted for 81 cases (67.5%), malignancy 17 (14.2%), collagen diseases 7 (5.8%) and miscellaneous cause 1 (0.8%), 14 cases (11.7%) remained undiagnosed at the conclusin of their hospitalization. Certain relationships between diagnosis and age

were noted. Infection was the most common etiology in all age groups, but 72.5% of these children were less than 6 years old. 71.4% of collagen diseases were older than 6 years. Malignancy had no age predilection.

6. Over 80% of all cases the diagnosis were made within a week and the fever disappeared in a week in 70%. So most of them (75%) discharged within 2 weeks after admission.

7. Careful history suggested the final diagnosis in 84 cases (70%) and repeated physical examinations were helpful in 70 cases (58.3%). Abnormal findings in routine chest P-A were present in 47.5%. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate was significantly increased in 26/34 cases (76.5%). 47 cases (39.2%) were anemic for age and all children with malignancy were anemic. Lumbar puncture, bone marrow aspiration, tissue biopsy and explo. laparotomy were performed only in suspected cases.

8. Outcome on discharge were as follows; 90 cases (75.0%) were much improved, 21 (17.5%) discharged without improvement and 9 cases (7.5%) expired.
