The Korean Society of Nephrology participated in the task force team consisting of government authorities and civilian experts to prevent and control the spread of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in 2015. The Korean Society of Nephrology MERS Task Force Team took an immediate action and drafted 'the clinical recommendation for hemodialysis facilities' to follow when the first and the only confirmed case was reported in the hemodialysis unit. Owing to the dedicated support from medical doctors, dialysis nurses, and related medical companies, we could prevent further transmission of MERS infection successfully in hemodialysis units. This special report describes the experience of infection control during MERS outbreak in 2015 and summarizes the contents of 'the clinical practice guideline for hemodialysis facilities dealing with MERS patients' built upon our previous experience.
韩国肾脏病学会于2015年参与了由政府当局和民间专家组成的特别工作组，以预防和控制中东呼吸综合征（MERS）的传播。韩国肾脏病学会MERS特别工作组在血液透析单位报告首例也是唯一确诊病例时立即采取行动，并起草了“血液透析设施临床建议”以供遵循。由于医生、透析护士和相关医疗公司的全力支持，我们得以成功防止MERS感染在血液透析单位的进一步传播。本专题报告描述了2015年MERS疫情期间的感染控制经验，并总结了基于我们以往经验制定的“应对MERS患者的血液透析设施临床实践指南”的内容。
