1 대한내과학회지 : 제 85 권제 5 호 특집 (Special Review) - 알레르기비염 알레르기비염의동반질환 한림대학교의과대학내과학교실 최정희 Allergic Rhinitis and Comorbidities Jeong-Hee Choi Department of Internal Medicine, Hallym University College of Medicine, Chuncheon, Korea Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a symptomatic disorder of the nose based on chronic allergic inflammation. AR is a global health problem that causes major illness and disability and inadequately treated, of which prevalence is about 20% of general population. In general, AR is rarely found in isolation and has been associated with numerous comorbidities, including bronchial asthma, allergic conjunctivitis, otitis media with effusion, sinusitis with polyp, chronic cough, adenoid hypertrophy and consequent sleep disturbance. In particular, coexistence of AR and asthma is a common feature, suggesting the concept of one airway, one disease. Poorly controlled AR can develop or trigger exacerbations of these comorbidities because they often share pathophysiologic pathways in common with AR. Thus, AR should be regarded as a spectrum of systemic disease and treatment requires a systemic approach with considering its comorbidities. (Korean J Med 2013;85: ) Keywords: Allergic rhinitis; Asthma; Comorbidity 서론알레르기비염은성인과소아모두에서가장흔한만성질환중의하나이며그유병률은대략 20% 정도이다 [1]. 알레르기비염은그저성가신증상정도로만여겨져치료를소홀히하는경우가많은데, 심하지않은경우치료하지않거나증상이있더라도일반의약품으로스스로해결하는경우가많다. 그러나알레르기비염에의한삶의질저하는상당한것으로보고되고있다. 알레르기비염은흔히기관지천식, 알레르기결막염, 부비동염, 중이염, 수면장애등의여러 가지질환들을동반하는데 (Table 1) [1,2] 알레르기비염의악화는동반질환들을악화또는발생시키며이는단순히알레르기비염치료만으로호전되지않는다. 따라서알레르기비염을별개의질환이아니라알레르기염증성전신질환으로이해하여야하며알레르기비염을진단하고치료할때흔한동반질환을같이평가하고치료하는것은필수적이다. 이에저자는여기에서표 1에나열한흔한알레르기비염의동반질환들에대해서요약하고그임상적인의의에대해서정리하고자한다.

Allergic rhinitis and its comorbidities Asthma Allergic conjunctivitis Sinusitis with or without nasal polyp Otitis media with effusion Adenoid hypertrophy Sleep disturbance/obstructive sleep apnea Chronic cough 기관지천식 천식과비염은모두만성염증성기도질환으로역학, 병태생리, 임상적으로밀접한관련성이있어두질환이별개의질환이라기보다는표적기관을달리하여표현되는동일한염증반응에의한 하나의기도질환 (one airway, one disease) 으로인식하고있다 [1]. 역학비염은천식발병의중요한독립적인위험인자이다 [3]. 일반적인천식의유병률이 5% 정도인데반해서비염환자의 10-40% 에서천식이있고천식환자의 70-80% 에서비염을동반한다 [1,2]. 통년성비염에서계절성비염보다중등증-중증지속성비염환자에서경증또는간헐성비염에비해서천식의유병률이높았다 [4,5]. 또한알레르기비염환자에서 IgE 항체치가높을수록, 비특이적기도과민성이존재할수록천식의발병위험이높았다 [6,7]. 비염은이미천식을동반한환자에서는천식악화인자의하나이다. 비염의악화는천식의악화를유발하며비염과천식의중증도는매우밀접하게연관되어있다. 비염을동반한천식환자에서는더많은천식악화와이에따른응급실방문을경험하였다 [8]. 이러한결과는비염을잘치료하는것이천식조절에중요함을보여준다 [9]. 병인기전천식과비염에서코점막과기관지점막은조직병리학적으로매우유사하나다른점도있다. 기관지에는기도평활근이있어기관지수축을유발하는반면에비강에는혈관네트워크가발달하여세혈관확장에의한코막힘을유발한다 [1]. 천식과비염의인과관계를설명하는기전은다양하다. 1) 비강-기관지반사 (nasobronchial reflex) 로코의감각세포가자극 Figure 1.

Allergic rhinitis and comorbidities - 사, 폐기능검사등으로시행되어질수있다 (Fig. 1). 마찬가지로천식환자에서도비염의동반유무에대한평가가이루어져야한다. 천식과비염이동반되어있는경우에는두질환을함께치료하여야하며두질환이동반되어있지않다면향후발병할위험성을염두에두고진료에임하여야한다. 알레르기결막염알레르기안질환은주로결막염으로나타난다. 알레르기결막염은여러가지형태로나타나는데, 대부분은증상이경미한계절성또는통년성알레르기결막염 (seasonal or perennial allergic conjunctivitis) 이고그외아토피피부염과동반된아토피각결막염 (atopic keratoconjuctivitis), 주로아이들에게나타나는봄철각결막염 (vernal keratoconjuctivitis) 그리고콘택트렌즈사용자들에서나타나는거대유두결막염 (giant papillary conjunctivitis) 등이있다 [11,12]. 여기서는내과의들 의흔히접할수있는계절성또는통년성알레르기결막염에대해서만상술하고나머지질환들은표 2에간략히나타내었다 (Table 2) [1]. 계절성또는통년성알레르기결막염흔히말하는알레르기결막염으로결막이공기중의알레르겐에노출되었을때알레르겐이결막의 IgE 항체와결합하여비만세포로부터히스타민등의여러가지매체가분비되어발생한다. 대부분의경우알레르기비염과동반되어발견되며알레르기비염의진단없이알레르기결막염으로만진단되는경우는드물다. 약 80% 의환자에서눈및코증상을같이호소한다. 꽃가루등의실외항원에의한계절성알레르기결막염이집먼지진드기등의실외항원에의한통년성보다더흔하며증상도심하다. 진단은대부분에서자세한병력청취와진찰로가능하다. 병력에서알레르기비염, 천식, 아토피피부염등의알레르기질환의유무가중요하다. 주로양안모두에증상이있으 Table 2.

ARIA (allergic rhinitis and its impact on asthma) 지침에서는수면장애유무를알레르기비염을경증또는증등증- 중증으로분류하는하나의인자로제시하였다 [1]. 알레르기비염에의한코막힘은수면장애를유발할수있는데, 코막힘이전체기도저항을증가시키고구강호흡을유발하여하악과설근부의후하방전위를일으키며분당환기량의감소를일으켜이산화탄소배출에영향을미치는등의기전으로수면호흡장애와연관되는것으로생각된다 [21]. 성인을대상으로한조사에서알레르기비염환자에서정상대조군에비해서수면유도장애를호소하는경우가 3배 (24% vs. 8%), 수면유지장애를호소하는경우가두배로높았다 (31% vs. 13%). 수면

5 - 최정희. 알레르기비염의동반질환 - 호흡장애환자에서알레르기비염치료가중요한이유는코막힘및기도저항을감소시켜주관적인증상의호전과함께삶의질을개선할수있기때문이다 [21]. 한편, 소아알레르기비염환아의경우흔히동반되는편도아데노이드비대증이폐쇄성수면무호흡증을유발할수있다. 편도비대증이있는학동기아동들에서그렇지않은아동들에비해서알레르기비염의유병률이높았고 (29.7% vs. 8%) [22] 습관적으로코골이를하는학동전기아동들에서대조군에비해서유의하게흡입알레르겐에대한감작률이높았으며이들흡입알레르겐에대해양성반응을보인환아에서폐쇄성수면무호흡증의유병률이높았다 [23]. 이런환아들에서주간졸림증, 집중력장애등이문제가되기도한다. 따라서코골이가있는알레르기비염환아에서편도아데노이드비대증을반드시고려하여야한다. 만성기침 8주이상지속되는기침을만성기침이라고한다 [11]. 상기도기침증후군 (upper airway cough syndrome) 은만성기침의가장흔한원인으로이는기저질환에상관없이비강이나부비동의자극또는후비루때문에기침이발생하는경우를통칭한다. 알레르기비염은상기도기침증후군의흔한기저질환으로실제로알레르기비염환자의약 30% 에서기침을호소한다 [21]. 알레르기비염에서의기침은비염을치료함으로써치유된다. 만성기침의원인으로알레르기비염을간과하는경우기침이형천식이나천식조절실패로오인하여불필요하게천식치료약제를증량하게되는경우가있으므로항시주의를요한다. 결론알레르기비염은천식, 알레르기결막염, 부비동염, 중이염, 아데노이드비대증등의다양한질환들을동반한다. 알레르기비염은단순한코질환이아니라알레르기염증을바탕으로하는전신질환으로이해되어야하며알레르기비염을진료할때반드시그동반질환에대한평가가이루어져야한다. 알레르기비염과함께동반질환까지치료함으로써환자의만족도를충족시키고더나아가삶의질을향상시킬수있을것이다. 중심단어 : 알레르기비염 ; 천식 ; 동반질환 REFERENCES 1.
