In this study, we research the tendency of medical text publication by examining the period of the great measles outbreak and the period of the publication of specialized smallpox texts. Using the National Institute of Korean History database for the Annals of Joseon Dynasty, the Daily Records of Royal Secretariat of Joseon Dynasty and Bibyeonsadeunglok, we will compare all records of measles occurrence. Measles and smallpox (Majin in Korean) have similar symptoms and treatment methods. In East Asia, when measles occurred it spread to Joseon and Japan, which are verified by records of the Annals of Joseon Dynasty, the Daily Records of Royal Secretariat of Joseon Dynasty and Bibyeonsadeunglok. The medical books related to measles are; Ryuhasinbang, Majinpyeon, Geupyubang, Yimsinyeokbang, Eulmisinjeon, Majingbang, Jinyeokbang, Magwahoetong, Majingibang, Susengsingam, Hongjinsinbang. Measles and Majin are the same disease. During the period of measles occurrence, measles-related medical books were published, and this relation of measles occurrence and measles-related medical text publication is verified by several national records.

Following the Five Year Measles Elimination Program, measles has been declared eliminated from the Republic of Korea since 2006. However, there remain challenges related to the surveillance of measles in the postelimination phase. Even though the routine surveillance system has revealed a gradual decrease in the number of reported cases since 2002, 4 resurgences have occurred, notably due to outbreaks. Because vaccine-modified measles is becoming widespread due to high vaccination coverage, conducting laboratory confirmation in each case becomes important. Moreover, susceptible individuals with measles have been identified through seroprevalence studies. Lastly, the efforts to improve the timeliness of measles reporting have led to the establishment of an active laboratory-based surveillance network, which has shortened the interval between diagnosis and notification. In these circumstances, searching for more sensitive and effective surveillance measures is important for maintaining the elimination status and preventing future outbreaks of measles in Korea.

우리나라는 2014년 세계보건기구로부터 홍역퇴치국가로 인증을 받았으나, 일부 해외유입으로 인한 홍역 및 해외유입 관련 사례들이 보고되고 있다. 홍역 예방 접종률이 높은 홍역 퇴치 국가에서 야생형 홍역의 발병률이 감소함에 따라 홍역으로 진단된 사례 중에서 백신 관련 홍역의 비율이 증가되고 있다. 야생형 홍역은 전염력이 높아서 접촉 추적 및 관리가 필요한 반면, 백신 관련 홍역은 전염성이 없어서 후속 개입이 필요하지 않다. 그러므로 홍역 의심 환자 발생시 야생형 홍역과 백신 관련 홍역을 확실하게 구별하기 위해 홍역 유전자형 검사를 시행해야 한다. 대구 파티마병원에서 2명의 백신 관련 홍역 환자를 진단하였다. 이는 유전자형 분석을 통해 확진한 사례로 국내에서는 유전자형 분석을 통해 보고된 백신 관련 홍역 환자가 거의 없는 상태이므로 유전자형 분석의 필요성을 강조하면서 최근의 백신 관련 홍역 사례를 보고하는 바이다.

The objective of the study is to measure the changes in measles infection and measles vaccination rates for the past 10 years in a rural area, Kang Wha. The study population were the entire children who were born between 1971 and 1950 in three townships (Sunwon, Naegae, Buleun) in Kangwha County. Two interview surveys were carried out during the 10 years of period, one in 1977 and the other in 1981. The data were collected by Family Health Workers through interview with structured questionnaires. The diagnosis of measles was mainly based on histories, symptoms and sighs of the disease. If a mother had reported measles history of her child, a public physician reviewed and decided the final diagnosis of the reported case. A retrospective cohort observation was done in order to see the trends of measles infections and measles vaccinations. The major findings were as follows; 1. The 5 year prevalence rate of measles vaccinations was 51.3% between 1971 and 1975 and 71.9% between 1976 and 1980 respectively. The difference between two periods was statistically significant (P<0.05). The secular trend of measles vaccinations showed increasing tendency from 1971 to 1978 and since then kept maintained. 2. In the birth cohort analysis of measles vaccinations, the vaccination rates, in general, were higher in the later cohort groups than that of earlier cohort groups. 9. The 5-year experience rates for measles infections were 24.3% between 1971 and 1975 and 17.2% between 1976 and 1980 respectively. This difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The secular trend of experience rates for measles infections showed decreasing tendency from 1971 to 1980 except an outbreak in 1976. 4. The birth cohort analysis of experience rates for measles infections showed that the rate was higher in the later cohort groups than that of the earlier cohort groups. This decreasing tendency was prominent between $1973{\sim}1974$ and $1976{\sim}1977$. 5. The distribution of age specific incidence rates for measles infections showed unimodal curve with the peak at the age of 12 to 18 months. This findings were same in both two surveys. 6. Seasonal variations of the measles infections showed two peaks, one major peak in March through May and the another minor peak in September through December. 7. The 5-year reduction rate for measles infections among those vaccinated was 90.4% between 1971 and 1975 and 88% between 1976 and 1980.

This study is a investigation research to examine total 123 children's thought, perception and coping method about measles, with 62 children who had experienced the measles and 61 good health children in the school, which had spread to a primary school in kyoungsang-bukdo province. The data collection was done from December 6 to December 8. The analysis of data was SPSS(10.0) for descriptive statistics. The data were collected from total 123 children, 62 of them who had diagnosed measles on October, 2000, when the measles had ended, were used a purposive sampling, the others who had a good health were used a convenience sampling. From three to six grade students made out directly the questionaire in the way of self-questionaire, and from one to two grade students, made out answering the question which the researcher had read the items. The researchers call back the students to complement the contents about the items inadequate answers, so they raised the reliability. The results were as follows. 1. The results of observe carefully the measles infection degree by a sex, the boys(27.4%) were sick severely compared with girls(9.7%)were sick weakly compared with the boys(27.4%)(p〈0.01). 2. The 62.9 percents of infected children by measles thought that they were infected at school, regarded the doctors as a first judge, and had caught the measles because of their fault. The results of observe carefully, 33.8 percents children of infected by measles had have a secondary vaccination. To the question whether they go to institute or not while suffering from the measles, 35.5% children didn't go there since they had heard the fact they infected the measles. 3. To a question of asking if close mend caught the measles, what will they do, 65.1% children of caught the measles answer ‘I can't meet my friend'(p〈0.001). It was significant that infected children have more interests than didn't infected children. The 22% children of didn't catch the measles take great interested in health compare with the 12.2% children of infected the measles(p〈0.05). To the question if they listen the preservation of health broadcasting, 63.4% children answer ‘I listen well’. It was significant between the infected group and didn't infect group(p〈0.05). To the question if they delivery to the written information at home, it was significant between the infected group and didn't infect group(p〈0.05). 4. The infected group of 69.1% children think the health is most important in their life school than any other they like study.

Purpose : The incidence of measles was gradually decreased since 1963 when measles vaccination was firstly developed and liscenced in the world. But, recently the outbreaks of measles in infants and school children have been reported despite of wide spread use of measles vaccination. This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of measles vaccination and the necessity of revaccination in Korean infants and children. Methods : 168 subjects of mothers and neonates, infants and children were enrolled in this study during the periods of 10 months from March to December in 1995. Measles specific IgG in the sera of mothers and children was measured using EIA kit (Sigma Co., MO, USA). Antibody titer of over or equal to 110 AU/ml was considered positive. Results : The results obtained were as follows. 1) Values of measles specific IgG in the sera of mother and neonate were 82.9 AU/ml and 89.3 AU/ml respectively and were rapidly decreased within 6 month after birth. Positive antibody levels (${\geq}$ 110 AU/ml) were observed in only 25 % of neonates. 2) In vaccinated children, values of measles specific IgG were 117.4 AU/ml in 9~15 month group, 76.9 AU/ml in 3~6 year group and 79.5 AU/ml in 10~15 year group after either one or two times of measles vaccination. Positive antibody levels in vaccinated children were observed in 57.7% of 9~15 month group, 38.4% of 3~6 year group and 34.7% of 10~15 year group. Conclusion : These results suggest that primary measles vaccination before 6 months of age can be considered and revaccination of measles should be recommended before 3~6 years of age. Further studies will be needed to clarify the reasons of high proportion of primary measles vaccination failure and to established the appropriate schedule of measles vaccination in korean infants and children.

Reemerging infectious diseases are infections that had decreased in incidence in the global population and were brought under control through effective health care policy such as vaccination, but more recently, began to resurge as a health problem due to many reasons. Measles, rubella, mumps and pertussis are the examples. Immunization with MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) and pertussis vaccine has contributed to marked decrease in measles, mumps, rubella and pertussis incidence worldwide. In Korea, measles and rubella almost disappeared after the introduction of 2 doses of MMR immunization schedule. Recently, these infections have been reemerging in many countries with low vaccination rates and can be introduced again in Korea. However mumps and pertussis outbreaks are reported among fully vaccinated populations. Declining vaccine effectiveness, an increased awareness and surveillance of the disease or improved laboratory diagnostic tools had been suggested as possible causes. For the clinicians, it is difficult to diagnose these reemerging infectious diseases partly because of few experience of typical cases of measles and rubella or partly because of modification of clinical symptoms and signs of infectious diseases in immunized population. In this article, the diagnosis of measles, mumps, rubella and pertussis will be reviewed in the aspects of clinical characteristics, serologic methods, virus isolation, and polymerase chain reaction.

목 적 : 높은 예방접종율에도 불구하고 흥역이 계속 발생하는 것은 1차 백신 실패 또는 2 차 백신 실패 등의 논란을 자아내고 있다. 이에 저자들은 1993년 전국적으로 홍역이 유행하였을 당시 인구 밀집 대도시인 성남지역에서 그 당시 홍역에 이환되었던 일부 소아를 대상으로 특이 혈청학적 검사를 실시하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1993년 홍역이 유행할 당시 임상진단 기준에 따라서 홍역으로 진단된 초등학교생을 대상으로 학교에 의뢰하여 93년 12월 10일부터 5일간 채혈한 후, 혈청을 분리한 후 $-20^{\circ}C$ 냉장고에 보관한 후 2개월 지나 검사하였다. Behring사의 시약을 사용하여 ELISA(Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay)방법에 의해 혈청내 홍역 특이 IgM 항체 (measles-specific IgM) 및 IgG를 검사하였다. 결 과 : 1) 총 126명 (남녀비=1:1)으로 발병시 연령은 5세 6명, 6세 11명, 7세 20명, 8세 39명, 9세 22명, 10세 11명, 11세 11명, 12세 6명으로 8세 전후에 가장 많은 빈도 보였다. 홍역은 여름에 발생하기 시작한 홍역은 9월부터 증가하기 시작하여 11월에 정점을 이루었다. 2) 홍역환자 126명중 99명(78.6%)에서 MMR접종력이 있었다. MMR접종자 99명 가운데 홍역 특이 IgM 항체에 양성은 80.8%(80/99)에서 관찰되었고, MMR 비접종자 27명 가운데 26명 (96.3%)에서 양성율을 보였다. 3) 홍역 특이 IgG 항체 반응결과 MMR 접종력이 있는 99명 중 90명(90.9%)에서, MMR 비접종군 27명중 23명(85.2%)에서 양성반응을 보였다. 흥역특이 IgG 항체반응은 MMR 접종력이 있는 아동 33명중 30례(90.1%)에서 양성을 보였다. 결 론 : MMR 접종력이 있는 아동의 상당수는 시간에 따른 항체가의 감소로 인해 홍역이 발생하였을 가능성을 배제할 수 없으나, 상당수의 환자가 IgM 항체 양성을 보인 것은 1차 백신 실패가 여전히 중요하다는 것을 의미하는 것으로 생각한다. 이를 확인하기 위해서는 보다 많은 아동을 대상으로 한 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각한다.

홍역바이러스(Measles virus)는 전염성이 매우 높은 발진성 열병을 일으키는 바이러스이며, 약독화된 생백신 접종으로 충분히 예방할 수 있다. 그러나 대부분의 개발도상국에서 어린아이들의 주요 사망원인이며 해마다 20만명이 사망하는 풍토병이다. 우리나라는 1996년 이후부터 국가적으로 시행된 정기예방접종으로 인한 높은 백신 접종률(>95.0%)로 획득된 집단면역과 고도의 기술적 감시체계의 결과로 홍역이 퇴치되었으며, 2014년 3월 WHO로부터 '홍역퇴치국가'로 인증 받았다. 그러나 2014년 초부터 경기도에서 홍역환자가 다시 발생하였다. 본 연구에서는 2014년 1월부터 2014년 7월까지 경기도에서 발생한 홍역 확진 환자를 대상으로 홍역바이러스의 유행양상 및 유전형 분포양상을 분석하였다. 72건의 홍역바이러스 양성검체에서 60주의 홍역바이러스를 분리하였고, nucleoprotein(N) 유전자의 염기서열 분석을 통하여 유전형의 확인 및 유전자변이를 분석하였다. 총 60건의 홍역 확진검체를 분석한 결과 58건(96.7%)에서 B3 genotype을 확인하였다. 또한 nucleoprotein(N) 유전자 부위의 유전자 변이 분석결과, 경기도내 분리주들이 2013년에서 2014년 필리핀에서 유행한 홍역 분리주들과 99% 일치하였다. 따라서 필리핀 등에서 감염된 후 국내에 유입되어 2차 감염이 된 것으로 사료된다.
