<b>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</b> Placement of a covered stent to control carotid blowout (CB) in malignant tumors the head and neck has been reported be an effective treatment. However, it is not uncommon encounter recurrent hemorrhage. The purpose this study was evaluate follow-up results patients treated with stents. <b>MATERIALS METHODS:</b> We retrospectively reviewed 7 consecutive who underwent placement CB. Most them had poor wound healing because previous irradiation, surgery, or both....
Candidemia is an important healthcare-associated infection (HAI) in intensive care units (ICUs). However, limited research has been conducted on candidemia the Republic of Korea. We aimed to analyze secular trends incidence and distribution ICUs over 12-years using data from Korean National Healthcare-Associated Infections Surveillance System (KONIS). KONIS was established 2006 performed prospective surveillance HAIs including bloodstream infections (BSIs) ICUs. evaluated causative pathogens...
The prevalence of toxigenic Clostridium difficile in Korea has been reported to be approximately 60-80%. Although the tcdA(-)tcdB(+) C. strain was less then 5% prior year 2000, it become an emerging nosocomial pathogen Korea. Therefore, we have attempted determine multicentre nationwide tcdA(+)tcdB(+) and for epidemiological purposes. strains (n=724, 30 from 80 2001, 74 2002, 76 2003, 179 2004, 285 2005) were obtained retrospectively January 2000 December 2005 in-patients at 6 hospitals, all...
We studied the seroprevalence of HBsAg, anti-HBs and anti-HBc vaccination histories among health care workers (HCWs) at a large suburban referral hospital in Korea. The purpose this study was to determine immune status HCWs against hepatitis B virus we also wanted prepare practical guideline protect from occupational exposure. During December, 2003, 571 (56 physicians, 289 nurses, 113 technicians aid-nurses) aged between 21 74 yr were included surveillance. positive rates HBsAg 2.4% (14/571)...
Background In this report, we present annual data from the intensive care unit (ICU) module of Korean National Healthcare-associated Infections Surveillance System (KONIS) July 2017 through June 2018. Methods We performed prospective surveillance healthcare-associated urinary tract infections (UTIs), bloodstream (BSIs), and pneumonia (PNEU) at 308 ICUs in 216 hospitals using KONIS. infection (HAI) rates device-associated were calculated as number per 1000 patient-days (PD) device-days (DD),...
Definition of community-onset, hospital-acquired Clostridium difficile infection (CO-HA-CDI) is difficult in patients presenting with diarrhea at hospitals or outpatient clinics, especially 4 to 12 weeks after the last discharge. We performed C. stool culture for 272 diarrheic visiting emergency room (ER) between January 2006 and June 2010. was isolated from 36 cases (13.2%), isolation rates increased year by year, 10.1% 2008 12.4% 2009 16.7% Among 32 toxin-positive isolates, 13 (40.6%) 19...
We performed a point seroprevalence survey of measles among healthcare workers (HCWs) at two Korean teaching hospitals in 2019. A total 2,830 HCWs underwent an antibody test. The overall seropositivity was 93.1%. lowest aged 20 - 24 years (81.2%), followed by those 25 29 (90.1%). rates anti-measles IgG positivity were significantly different between the (97.0% vs. 89.4%, P <0.001). These results suggest that may differ depending on hospital's vaccination policy.
Background In this report, we present the annual data of intensive care unit (ICU) module Korean National Healthcare-associated Infections Surveillance System (KONIS) from July 2016 through June 2017. Methods We performed a prospective surveillance healthcare-associated urinary tract infection (UTI), bloodstream (BSI), and pneumonia (PNEU) at 285 ICUs in 193 hospitals using KONIS system. (HAI) device-associated rates were calculated as numbers infections per 1,000 patient-days (PD)...
Background In this report, we present the annual data of intensive care unit (ICU) module Korean National Healthcare-associated Infections Surveillance System (KONIS) from July 2015 through June 2016. Methods We performed a prospective surveillance healthcare-associated urinary tract infection (UTI), bloodstream (BSI), and pneumonia (PNEU) at 178 ICUs in 103 hospitals using KONIS system. infections (HAI) rates were calculated as numbers per 1,000 patient-days or device-days. Results A total...

Formation of an iatrogenic subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm while attempting central venous access through the internal jugular vein is relatively uncommon. However, management a remains challenge because its growing tendency and relation to origin vertebral (VA). We report strategy for using covered stent as endovascular treatment patient with repeatedly regrowing at VA.
The interest in Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) has increased, and the choice of assays became wider since first national survey Korea on CDI diagnosis 2015. We conducted a domestic with more varied questions to understand current situation Korea.In April 2018, about 50 status details implementation perceptions were written, questionnaire was administered laboratory medicine specialists 200 institutions.One-hundred fifty institutions responded questionnaire, which 90 (60.0%)...
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) account for a large proportion of healthcare-associated and have significant impact on morbidity, length hospital stay, mortality. Adherence to the recommended infection prevention practices can effectively reduce incidence CAUTIs. This study aimed assess characteristics CAUTIs efficacy programs across hospitals various sizes.
