|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 중국 광동 지역에서 가장 먼저 발생한 전염성호흡기병으로 세계보건기구(WHO)에서 ‘중증급성호흡증후군(SARS)'으로 명명했다. 섭씨 38도 이상의 고열과 기침, 호흡곤란, 저산소증, X선상의 폐렴증상 중 하나 이상의 증상이 나타나며, 두통, 근육통, 식욕부진, 피로감, 발진, 설사를 동반할 수 있다. 초기 증상은 감기와 비슷하지만 폐렴으로 발전하면 치명적일 수 있다. 현재 밝혀진 감염경로는 환자가 재채기나 기침할 때 내뿜는 침방울이고, 이것이 다른 사람의 호흡기로 들어갈 때 전염된다. 침방울이 전달되는 거리는 보통 1m로 보고 있다. 공기를 통해 전염이 가능하다는 주장이 제기됐지만 아직 확인되지 않았다. 원인균은 변종 코로나바이러스로 밝혀졌다. |

| nephritis, hereditary | Hereditary disease characterised initially by haematuria and slowly progressing to renal insufficiency. It is sometimes associated with perceptual deafness and/or congenital ocular defects. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nephritis, interstitial | Primary or secondary disease of the renal interstitial tissue resulting from arterial, arteriolar, glomerular, or tubular disease which destroys individual nephrons, or from toxic involvement of interstitital cells and tubules due to systemic diseases such as gout, to drug exposure, or to mercury poisoning. Clinically it may be manifested primarily by loss of concentrating capacity, mineral wasting, proteinuria, and abnormal urine sediment. It may be seen in an acute form, particularly after specific bacterial infection, and may result in acute papillary necrosis. More commonly, the process is a chronic one with progressive renal atrophy and diminution of renal function. (12 Dec 1998) |
| subacute nephritis | Undesirable term for glomerulonephritis with proteinuria, haematuria and azotemia persisting for many weeks; renal changes are variable, including those of rapidly progressive and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. Synonym: subacute nephritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| suppurative nephritis | Focal glomerulonephritis with abscess formation in the kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
| syphilitic nephritis | A rare complication of congenital and secondary syphilis, with the nephrotic syndrome, resulting from glomerular immune-complex deposits. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immune complex nephritis | An immune complex disease resulting from glomerular deposits, as in systemic lupus erythematosus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interstitial nephritis | <nephrology> A relatively uncommon condition which is characterised by inflammation of the renal tubules, glomeruli and surrounding tissue. Interstitial nephritis is usually be temporary and often associated with the use of a particular medication. Chronic and progressive forms do exist. Drugs that have been associated with interstitial nephritis include penicillins, ampicillin, sulpha drugs, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, furosemide and thiazide diuretics. May result in mild kidney dysfunction or acute renal failure. Treatment may be with corticosteroids. Incidence: 1 in 25,000. (27 Sep 1997) |
| Ellis type 1 nephritis | An obsolete designation for glomerulonephritis presenting as acute glomerulonephritis, followed by complete recovery in most cases, or the development of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, or incomplete remission with persistent proteinuria and subsequent development of chronic glomerulonephritis. Synonym: Ellis type 1 nephritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ellis type 2 nephritis | An obsolete designation for glomerulonephritis which is usually not related to preceding bacterial infection; characterised by an insidious onset of the nephrotic syndrome, failure of complete remission, and eventual development of chronic renal failure. The kidneys usually show membranous glomerulonephritis. Synonym: Ellis type 2 nephritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transfusion nephritis | Renal failure and tubular damage resulting from the transfusion of incompatible blood; the haemoglobin of the haemolyzed red cells is deposited as casts in the renal tubules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trench nephritis | An obsolete term for glomerulonephritis occurring in soldiers subjected to cold and damp conditions in trenches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberculous nephritis | Nephritis, mainly interstitial, due to the tubercle bacillus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tubulointerstitial nephritis | Nephritis affecting renal tubules and interstitial tissue, with infiltration by plasma cells and mononuclear cells; seen in lupus nephritis, allograft rejection, and methicillin sensitization. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uranium nephritis | An experimental nephritis produced by the administration of uranium nitrate. (05 Mar 2000) |
