Several factors contribute to differences in Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype distribution. We investigated the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of S. isolated between 2014 2016 Korea.We collected a total 1,855 isolates from 44 hospitals May 2016, analyzed serotypes by sequential multiplex PCR. each patient age, source clinical specimen, pattern.The most common were 11A (10.1%), followed 19A (8.8%), 3 (8.5%), 34 (8.1%), 23A (7.3%), 35B (6.2%). The major invasive (12.6%), (7.8%),...
Seroepidemiological status of toxoplasmosis among the residents Jeju island was surveyed and evaluated by ELISA with crude extract Toxoplasma gondii. The sera 2,348 (male 1,157 female 1,191) were collected checked for IgG antibody titers, which showed 13.2% positive rate (309 sera). rates increasing gradually according to age from 4.3% in teenage 20.6% seventies. significantly different between sex 16.2% male 10.2% (P<0.05). This is regarded relatively higher than any other regions Korea....
제주지역 종합병원 감염관리 현황을 조사하여, 병원감염관리 실태와 문제점을 파악하고자 하였으며 감염관리의 중요성을 인식시키고 실무자로서 임상병리사의 역할 방안을 모색하기 위하여 제주특별자치도 제주시와 서귀포시에 위치한 7개 기관을 대상으로 설문지를 통하여 조사하였다. 의료기관의 감염관리는 모든 기관이 감염관리실을 운영하고 전담인력을 구성하고 병원감염관리지침을 보유하고 수행하는 우수한 점을 보였지만, 대부분의 간호사 1인 구성의 운영하여 전담인력 확보 및 미생물 관련 배양 판독, 다제내성균의 출현빈도, 감염통계 등 검사에 대한 내용을 보고 받는데 많은 부분 어려움을 호소하였다. 이에 실질적인 업무를 담당할 수 있는 임상병리사가 의료법 시행규칙에 감염관리에 경험과 지식이 사람으로 충분한 자질과 경험이 있다고 생각되며 운영함에 있어 감염관리간호사와 미생물에 전문적인 지식을 갖춘 임상병리사(감염관리임상병리사)가 전담자로서 수행한다면 지금보다 더욱 발전된 감염관리실 운영이 될 것으로...
Cervical cancer remains a significant global health concern. Extensive research has established critical link between human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and the development of cervical cancer. As result, high-risk HPV (Hr-HPV) testing emerged as promising screening method. This study aimed to retrospectively analyze prevalence Hr-HPV genotypes among women in three regions Uzbekistan. Between 2021 2023, Research Institute Virology Uzbekistan Korea Foundation for International Healthcare...
Cervical cancer is a major health issue globally.High-risk human papillomavirus (Hr HPV) infections, such as HPV16/18, play crucial role in the cause of cervical cancer.Ninety percent HPV infections are cleared or become inactive within 12 to 24 months exposure virus.On other hand, there few reports about persistence Hr according each genotype, which increases risk progression cancer.Therefore, this study analyzed negative conversion rates and relapse genotype Hr-HPV infections.The rate...
To examine the cause of acute diarrheal disease in children and adolescents, 521 fecal samples underwent multiple-PCR for a period two years, between March 2015 February 20178, Jeju region Korea. Based on analysis 179 positive samples, 102 were male (56.98%) 77 female (43.02%), highest rates shown age group 3∼4 years (51.96%) 5∼6 (12.29%). When 209 cases (40.12%), including double infection analyzed, there 88 (16.89%) norovirus-GII infection, 26 (4.99%) Campylobacter spp. 18 (3.45%)...
eISSN 2093-6338 한 감염은 무증상감염을 포함하여 폐렴, 기관지염, 중이염, 인후염, 후두기관염 등을 유발하는데 주로 하부호흡기감염을 유발한다[1]. 특히 폐렴미코플라스마에 의한 폐렴은 인후통, 열, 오한, 기침, 콧 물, 전신쇠약감, 호흡곤란 등의 다양한 증상을 야기하여 임상적 판 단 만으로 바이러스성 또는 다른 세균성폐렴과 감별이 어렵다. 또 한, 이 병원체는 호흡기계 감염뿐 아니라, 혈액계, 심혈관계, 소화기 계, 신경계, 피부계 폐외 합병증을 일으켜 심각한 결과를 초 래할 수 있다[2,3]. 세포벽이 없어 베타락탐계 항생제에 반응하지 않는 폐렴미코플라스마의 치료에는 macrolide, tetracycline, fluoroquinolone이 효과적이므로 조기진단을 통한 적절한 항생제의 선택이 중요하다[4]. 폐렴미코플라스마 감염의 진단방법에는 배양법, 중합효소연쇄 반응법, 혈청학적 검사법 등이 있으며, 그 중에서 배양법은 검사소 요시간이 2-3주 이상으로 길고...
Background Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) is a major cause of community-acquired pneumonia in children. Currently, no study exists regarding the frequency mycoplasmal antibody on Jeju Island. The aim present was to investigate among children living Methods From March 2009 February 2011, 1580 pediatric (<10 years old) patients who were tested for titer Cheju Halla Hospital retrospectively investigated. authors also analyzed positive rates according age, sex, and season. Results titers 69.4% an...
Background: Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B streptococcus, GBS) is known to be the leading cause of neonatal sepsis and meningitis in United States Europe. In addition, GBS infection has been increasingly noted adults, particularly those with underlying diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, malignancy liver disease. A few studies reported that resistances antibiotics, erythromycin, clindamycin, tetracycline are increasing. We report clinical microbiological characteristics bacteremic...
Unexpected antibody screening and identification tests are highly important in the prevention of hemolytic transfusion reactions. Therefore, it is recommended to perform unexpected test all candidates. Here, frequency distribution antibodies identified Jeju for past 3 years were evaluated. Between Jan 2014 Dec 2016, was performed 10,360 sera candidates general hospital using a column agglutination method with Ortho BioVue system (Ortho-clinical Diagnostics, Raritan, NJ, USA). Eighty-seven...
