Empirical treatment is important in this context because it difficult to verify the obvious cause of cough using laboratory tests, Corticosteroid has a nonspecific anti-inflammatory effect, and can be used for cough management. However, its response rate has not yet been fully elucidated. This study investigated the short- term effects of inhaled corticosteroid on chronic cough Methods : Patients with chronic cough with a normal chest radiograph and a pulmonary function test were enrolled. Cases with a prior respiratory infection within 8 weeks, a history of bronchial asthma, objective wheezing on examination, subjective symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux or taking an ACE inhibitor were excluded. On the first visit, a methacholine bronchial provocation test, spontaneous sputum eosinophil count performed twice and a paranasal sinus radiograph were checked, and the patients were treated with budesonide turbuhaler 800 μg /day for ten days. The primary outcome measure was a decrease in the cough score after treatment. Results : Sixty nine chronic coughers were finally analyzed. The final diagnoses by the routine tests were as follows: bronchial asthma 13.0%, eosinophilic bronchitis 18.8%, paranasal sinusitis 23.2% and non-diagnostic cases 53.6%. The following responses to the inhaled corticosteroid were observed: definite responders, 76.8%, possible responders, 2.9% and non-responders, 20.3%. The response rate was not affected by the final diagnosis even in the non-diagnostic cases. There were minimal adverse drug related effects during the empirical treatment. Conclusion : Routine objective tests such as methacholine provocation, sputum eosinophil count and simple radiographs were notare not suitable for diagnosing chronic cough Therefore, empirical treatment is important. Short term inhaled corticosteroid is effective and can guide a further treatment plan for chronic cough.

4 KH Lee et al. : The role of inhaled corticosteroid in chronic cough Figure 1. The distribution of diagnoses and the response rate to inhaled corticosteroid. 53.6% of the patients failed to be classified to a specific disease when sputum eosinophil count, paranasal sinus radiographs and methacholine provocation test were performed. The overall response rate to inhaled corticosteroid was around 80% in terms of cough. The response rates according to the diagnoses were not statistically different (Chi-square test, p=0.159). 분율검사는 22명 (31.9%), 부비동방사선사진은 16 명 (23.2%) 에서양성이었다. 기관지천식으로진단된 9명의환자중에서메타콜린기관지유발검사는 2명 (22.2%), 자발객담호산구분율검사는 9명 (100.0%), 부비동방사선사진은 4명 (44.4%) 에서양성이었다. 만일대상환자들에게메타콜린기관지유발검사를시행하지않았다면메타콜린기관지유발검사양성자 2명은모두호산구성기관지염으로진단이바뀌었을것이다. 그러나임상에서기관지천식과호산구성기관지염의치료과정은거의같으므로메타콜린기관지유발검사가만성기침환자를진료하는데제공하는정보는크지않다고할수있다. 3. 만성기침의흡입스테로이드에대한반응경험적흡입스테로이드투여에대한반응은확실한반응군 53명 (76.8%), 반응추정군 2명 (2.9%), 불응군 14명 (20.3%) 이었다 (Table 2). 확실한반응군과불응군사이에스테로이드흡입제사용일과사용하지않은횟수는통계적인차이가없었다 (p=0.378 and p=0.293 respectively). 최종진단에따른흡입스테로이드반응률은기관 지천식 100.0%, 호산구성기관지염 84.6%, 부비동염 87.5%( 부비동염단독진단인경우확실한반응군 90.0%), 진단불가증례 70.3%( 확실한반응군 64.9%, 반응추정군 5.4%) 이었다 (Figure 1). 호산구성기관지염환자중에서흡입스테로이드불응군 2명중 1 명은호산구성기관지염과부비동염을동시에가지고있었고갑상선기능저하증으로투약중이었다. 나머지 1명은순수한호산구성기관지염환자였다. 각진단에따른흡입스테로이드반응률의통계적차이는없었다 (p=0.159). 전체참여환자중에서 2.2% 만이치료중에새로운호흡기감염을경험하였고, 그외의어떠한부작용도나타나지않아서단기간흡입스테로이드의우수한내약성을보였다. 고찰최근보고들에의하면만성기침의기본적인기전은기도염증과관련이있다. 만성기침환자의기관지점막병리소견에서염증세포침윤과상피세포손상및기저막이두꺼워지는소견을관찰할수있다 11,12. 기도염증에의한상피세포손상으로감각신경말단의기침수용체가화학적, 기계적자극에노출되면기 224

6 KH Lee et al. : The role of inhaled corticosteroid in chronic cough 요 연구배경 : 만성기침은정밀검사를추가하여도진단율을향상시키는데한계가있고, 확진은특이적치료에반응할때에만가능하다. 스테로이드는비특이적항염증작용을가지므로만성기침에효과적일수있다. 본연구에서는원인진단에대한진료한계를극복하기위한방법으로서, 만성기침에대한흡입스테로이드의반응률을알아보기위하여시행되었다. 방법 : 3주이상의만성기침환자를대상으로처음내원하였을때객담호산구, 메타콜린기관지유발검사, 부비동방사선촬영등의기본적인객관적검사를시행하고, 동시에 budesonide turbuhaler 800μg /day를 10일간투여하고추적방문토록하였다. 추적방문일에환자증상의개선도에따라흡입스테로이드반응군과불응군으로분류하였고검사의진단성적을조사하였으며, 각진단에따른스테로이드반응률을알아보았다. 결과 : 총 69명의만성기침환자가최종분석되었고, 흡입스테로이드의투여로증상의호전이있었던경우는 79.7% 였다. 진단된질환에따른흡입스테로이드의반응률은차이가없었다. 투여기간동안부작용은거의관찰되지않아서우수한내약성을보였다. 결론 : 만성기침환자를진료할때기본검사를시행하는동시에흡입스테로이드를단기간투여하는것은매우안전하며, 검사의진단적한계를극복하고초기에진료지침을세우는방법이될수있다. 약 참고문헌 1.
