: Pertussis continues to pose a substantial global health challenge despite widespread vaccination programs. This study aimed analyze the epidemiological characteristics of recent pertussis cases in Gyeongnam region South Korea.
We evaluated the immunogenicity and safety of pentavalent human-bovine reassortant rotavirus vaccine in 178 Korean healthy infants. Seroresponse rate for serum antirotavirus IgA titers was 94.7% among 94 recipients, as compared with 13.5% 52 placebo recipients. rates neutralizing antibody to each human serotype were significantly higher group than group. This generally well tolerated immunogenic.
This study was conducted to evaluate age-specific seroprevalence of pertussis in Korea and formulate a strategy prevent reduce the incidence pertussis. Residual serum samples healthy adolescents adults 11 yr age or older were collected between July 2012 December 2012, anti-pertussis toxin (PT) IgG titers measured using commercial ELISA kit. We compared mean anti-PT six groups: 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, ≥ 61 yr. A total 1,192 subjects enrolled. The titer 35.53 ± 62.91 EU/mL 41.4%,...
Background: Invasive bacterial infections in apparently immunocompetent children were retrospectively analyzed to figure causative organisms Korea.Methods: A total of 947 cases from 25 university hospitals identified 2006 2010 as a continuance previous 10-year period study 1996 2005.Results: Escherichia coli (41.3%),Streptococcus agalactiae (27.7%), and Staphylococcus aureus (27.1%) the most common pathogens infants < 3 months age.S. was prevalent cause meningitis pneumonia E. major...
Detection of Rotavirus Genotypes in Korea 5 Years after the Introduction VaccinesRotavirus (RV) is one most important viral etiologic agents acute gastroenteritis (AGE) children.Although effective RV vaccines (RVVs) are now used worldwide, novel genotypes and outbreaks resulting from rare genotype combinations have emerged.This study documented a Korean population children with AGE yr introduction RVV assessed potential differences based on vaccination status or vaccine type.Children less...
This study was performed to measure early changes in the serotype distribution of pneumococci isolated from children with invasive disease during 3-year period following introduction 10- and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) Korea. From January 2011 December 2013 at 25 hospitals located throughout Korea, were among who had (IPD). Serotypes determined using Quellung reaction, change analyzed. Seventy-five cases IPD included. Eighty percent patients aged 3-59 months, 32% a...
We phylogenetically analyzed the Escherichia coli strains isolated from children with urinary tract infection (UTI) in 2 regions of Korea. Virulence factors (VFs) and antibiotic resistance were also determined to compare possible differences.A total 138 E. collected regions; Gyeongin (78 strains) Gyeongnam (60 strains). The phylogenetic groups using triplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method multiplex PCRs used detect 7 VFs genes (fimH, papC, iutA, hlyA, sfa/focDE, afa/draBC, kpsMT II)....
Microbiology Society journals contain high-quality research papers and topical review articles. We are a not-for-profit publisher we support invest in the microbiology community, to benefit of everyone. This supports our principal goal develop, expand strengthen networks available members so that they can generate new knowledge about microbes ensure it is shared with other communities.
목적: 우리나라의 백일해에 대한 연령별 방어면역 상태를 평가하고자 면역혈청학적 연구를 시행하였다. 방법: 국내 4개 대학병원에 방문한 건강한 소아, 청소년 및 성인을 대상으로 하였다. 대상을 연령에 따라 7개 연령군으로 구분하였고 ELISA 방법을 이용하여 백일해의 항체가를 측정하였다. 연령군별 기하 평균항체가와 각 양성 보이는 피험자의 비율을 조사하였다. 제조사의 지침대로, 항체가가 24.0 EU/mL 이상인 경우를 양성으로 판정하였다. 결과: 전체 1,605명의 피험자가 연구에 참여하였고, 평균항체가는 $56.16{\pm}50.54EU/mL$ 였다. 연령군별로는 11세 미만 소아 연령군( $64.78{\pm}53.24EU/mL$ )이 가장 높은 평균항체가를 보였다(P 【Purpose: We conducted the immunoassay of pertussis according to ages, in order evaluate protective immunity against...
Purpose:Urinary tract infection(UTI) is one of the most frequent infections in children. E. coli etiological micropathogen pediatric community UTI, and has developed resistance to many antibiotics, highlighting need for regular surveys this organism resistant patterns community. The aim study was determine oral antibiotic susceptibility coli, isolated from patients with uncomplicated acquired UTI. Methods:E. isolates, obtained UTI between October 2004 September 2005. And minimal inhibitory...
Purpose : This study was undertaken to evaluate the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of Td booster immunization in early preadolescents Korea. Methods Healthy preadolescents, who had been vaccinated with 4 or 5 doses DTaP vaccines until 6 years old age, were enrolled this from August 2006 April 2007. Diphtheria tetanus anti-toxoid antibodies sera measured by ELISA just before vaccination weeks after immunogenicity. Local systemic adverse reactions observed for access reactogenicity. Results...
목적: 백일해는 백신접종으로 예방이 가능한 질환이지만 세계적으로 증가하고 있고, 국내에서도 환자 가 있는 추세이다. 저자들은 최근 창원 지역에서 발생한 백일해 환자의 역학적인 특징과 임상 양상을 알아보고자 이 연구를 실시하였다. 방법: 2015년 7월부터 2016년 3월까지 호흡기 증상을 주소로 창원파티마병원 소아청소년과에 내원하는 중 1주 이상의 기침을 하면서 발작적인 기침, 기침 후 구토, 흡기 시 `흡` 소리(whooping), 야 간 기침이 동반된 환자들을 대상으로 검체를 채취하여 백일해에 대한 배양, 중합연쇄반응검사를 실시하였고, 혈액의 항백일해 독소 항체검사(anti-pertussis toxin of ELISA kit, IBL Interna-tional GmbH)를 기저에 질환이 있거나 1년 안에 DTaP 혹은 Tdap 백신 접종을 한 경우에는 제외하였다. 결과: 연구 기간 동안 대상 50명 진단된 환자는 37명이었다. 중합연쇄반응검사에서 양성 인 2명이었고...
