The increasing number of reported scarlet fever cases during 2011‒2016 in the National Notifiable Infectious Disease database in South Korea occurred because of increased overall reporting and expanded reporting criteria rather than because of increasing scarlet fever incidence. Further increases are anticipated because of other expansions in reporting requirements.
韩国国家法定传染病数据库在 2011 年至 2016 年期间报告的猩红热病例数量不断增加,原因是总体报告数量增加,以及报告标准扩大,而不是猩红热发病率增加。由于其他报告要求的扩大,预计病例数量还会进一步增加。
