울산 연안 바닷물에서 올해 첫 비브리오패혈증균 검출

Quick Look

울산시 보건환경연구원이 울주군 서생만 나사리 방파제 해안에서 채취한 바닷물에서 올해 들어 처음으로 비브리오패혈증균을 검출했다고 밝혔다. 감염 시 급성 발열, 오한, 복통 등 증상이 나타나며 패혈증으로 진행될 경우 치명률이 높아 고위험군은 어패류 생식과 바닷물 접촉을 피해야 한다.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

비브리오패혈증균은 해수 온도가 높은 시기에 활발히 증식하며, 환자의 90% 이상이 8월부터 10월 사이에 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다.

울산 연안 바닷물에서 올해 들어 처음으로 비브리오패혈증균이 검출돼 시민들 주의가 요구된다.

울산시 보건환경연구원은 지난 7일 울주군 서생만 나사리 방파제 해안에서 채취한 바닷물을 검사한 결과 비브리오패혈증균을 확인했다고 9일 밝혔다.

보건환경연구원은 검사 결과를 관련 기관에 신속히 통보하고, 연안 해수와 수산물에 대한 안전관리를 강화해 달라고 요청했다.

비브리오패혈증균은 해수 온도가 높은 시기에 활발히 증식하며, 환자의 90% 이상이 8월부터 10월 사이에 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다.

오염된 어패류를 날것으로 먹거나 충분히 익히지 않고 섭취하면 감염될 수 있다. 피부에 상처가 있는 상태에서 오염된 바닷물에 접촉해도 감염 가능성이 있다.

감염되면 급성 발열, 오한, 복통, 구토, 설사와 함께 피부 발진, 부종, 수포 등 증상이 발생한다.

특히 패혈증으로 진행되면 치명률이 매우 높아지므로 간 질환자, 당뇨병 환자, 면역 저하자 등 고위험군은 어패류 생식과 바닷물 접촉을 반드시 피해야 한다.

감염 예방을 위해서는 어패류 취급 전후 손 씻기, 피부에 상처가 있는 경우 바닷물 접촉 피하기, 어패류를 손질한 조리기구 세척·소독하기, 어패류 저온 보관하기 등 예방수칙을 지켜야 한다.

보건환경연구원은 매년 4월부터 11월까지 울산 연안 해수를 대상으로 비브리오패혈증균 유행예측 감시 사업을 추진 중이며, 해수 내 균 검출 여부와 수온 변화를 지속해서 모니터링하고 있다.

Open Questions

  • 이번 검출로 인해 어패류 소비에 대한 구체적인 판매 중단 조치가 있을지 여부
  • 추가 검출 지역이 있는지 여부
  • 현재까지 인체 감염 사례가 보고되었는지 여부

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) reduce their risk of depression by 34% when they quit smoking for more than 2 years.

Research results have shown that if COPD patients continue to quit smoking for more than two years, the risk of developing depression decreases by 34%, and in severe patients, it decreases by 60%. Maintaining long-term smoking cessation has been shown to play a more critical role in recovering mental health than simply attempting to quit smoking.

Ministry of Health and Welfare launches industrial and medical consultative body... Establishment of an appropriate price compensation system

The Ministry of Health and Welfare is launching an industrial and medical industry consultative body to prevent disruptions in the supply of essential treatment materials, such as the disruption in the supply of artificial blood vessels for pediatric heart surgery, and discuss improving supply and demand management and price compensation system. The consultative body plans to prepare an improvement plan by the first half of 2024, and considering the fact that the rate of increase in the cost of treatment materials has surged to 172.2% compared to 2015, it will seek to improve the standard for calculating the upper limit amount.
