We analyzed reports for 59,073 contacts of 5,706 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) index patients reported in South Korea during January 20-March 27, 2020. Of 10,592 household contacts, 11.8% had COVID-19. 48,481 nonhousehold 1.9% Use personal protective measures and social distancing reduces the likelihood transmission.
We describe the epidemiology of a coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak in call center South Korea. obtained information on demographic characteristics by using standardized epidemiologic investigation forms. performed descriptive analyses and reported results as frequencies proportions for categoric variables. Of 1,143 persons who were tested COVID-19, total 97 (8.5%, 95% CI 7.0%-10.3%) had confirmed cases. these, 94 working an 11th-floor with 216 employees, translating to attack rate...
The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) was initiated in 1998 to provide evidence for the development evaluation of health policies programs. Disease Control Prevention Agency is responsible KNHANES has conducted it as a series surveys. Over past 20 years, efforts produce accurate, timely, nationwide statistics have been refined by establishing continuous annual survey system with full-time field staff, incrementally expanding components, collaborating relevant...
We report the first 7,755 patients with confirmed COVID-19 in Korea as of March 12th, 2020. A total 66 deaths have been recorded, giving a case fatality proportion 0.9%. Older people, and those comorbidities were at higher risk fatal outcome. The highest number cases Daegu, followed by Gyeongbuk. This summary may help to understand disease dynamics early phase outbreaks, therefore, guide future public health measures.
Objective Transmissibility of COVID-19 by children in the household is not clear. Herein, we describe children’s role transmission COVID-19. Design and setting All paediatric index cases their members reported from 20 January to 6 April 2020 South Korea were reviewed. The secondary attack rate (SAR) child case was calculated. Epidemiological clinical findings case-household pair assessed. Results A total 107 248 identified. One index-secondary identified, giving a SAR 0.5% (95% CI 0.0%...
Between January 24th and March 10th, a total of 2,370 individuals had contact with the first 30 cases COVID-19. There were 13 who contracted COVID-19 resulting in secondary attack rate 0.55% (95% CI 0.31-0.96). 119 household contacts, which 9 developed 7.56% 3.7-14.26).
In Korea, measles occurs mainly in infants <12 months of age, who are unvaccinated. addition, vaccine populations, including adolescents and young adults, can become infected though importation. Thus, the question arises whether current level herd immunity Korea is now insufficient for protecting against infection. Age-specific seroprevalence was evaluated by performing enzyme immunoassays plaque reduction-neutralization tests on 3050 subjects aged 0–50 years (birth cohort 1964–2014) 480...
BACKGROUND: In February 2020, a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak was reported in fitness centers Cheonan, Korea. METHODS: From 24 to March 13, an epidemiological investigation conducted on the center outbreak. All those who were screened tested for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS CoV-2) using real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Contacts traced and self-isolated 14 days. We determined characteristics of confirmed cases SARS-CoV-2...
In this pandemic situation caused by a novel coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19), an electronic support system that can rapidly and accurately perform epidemic investigations, is needed. It would systematically secure analyze patients' data (who have been confirmed to the infection), location information, credit card usage.The "Infectious Disease Prevention Control Act" South Korea, established legal basis for securement, handling procedure, disclosure of information required...
Background. From 2002 through 2006, Republic of Korea conducted extensive measles elimination activities and declared in 2006. An outbreak involving 180 confirmed cases occurred during 2007.
Abstract Exosomes (EXO) are considered to be versatile carriers for biomolecules; however, the delivery of therapeutic peptides using EXOs poses several challenges. In this study, efficiency serum‐derived in delivering tyrosinase‐related protein‐2 (TRP2) lymph nodes is determined. TRP2 successfully incorporated into EXOs, which show a uniform and narrow size distribution around 45 nm. The TRP2‐incorporated exosomes (EXO‐TRP2) efficiently internalized macrophages dendritic cells, seen display...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine the trends in health behaviors Korean population using data from Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES).METHODS: The subjects were 96,408 adults aged 19 years or older who participated first (1998) through seventh (2016-2018) KNHANES interview. prevalence of (cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, physical activity) annual percent change (APC) estimated SAS Joinpoint program.RESULTS: current cigarette smoking men decreased by...
With the increase of international travels, infectious disease control is gaining a greater importance across regional borders. Adequate surveillance system function crucial to prevent global spread at earliest stage. There have been limited reports on characteristics in Asia. The authors studied timeliness Korean National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System with regard major notifiable diseases from 2001 2006.Six reported relatively frequently were included this study. Five selected by...
On April 26, 2012, the Korea National Institute of Health officially held opening ceremony newly dedicated biobank building, 'NationalBiobank Korea'. The stocked biospecimens and related information have been distributed for medical public health researches. Biobank Project, which was initiated in 2008, constructed Network consisting (NBK) with 17 regional biobanks Korea. As December 2011, a total 525,416 secured: 325,952 from general population obtained through cohort studies 199,464...

Abstract The causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects its outcomes. However, the relative risks for adverse outcomes according to specific CKD is not well established. In a prospective cohort study from KNOW-CKD, was analyzed using overlap propensity score weighting methods. Patients were grouped into four categories cause CKD: glomerulonephritis (GN), diabetic nephropathy (DN), hypertensive (HTN), or polycystic (PKD). From total 2070 patients, hazard ratio failure, composite...
Personalized medicine is emerging as a main paradigm for risk prediction, pre-diagnosis, and effective prevention treatment of disease.
