In June 2017, on Jeju Island, six patients were diagnosed with typhoid fever. All six patients were admitted to our hospital with fever, all of them had been working at the same hotel. The and genes of four out of six cases were amplified by polymerase chain reaction. The phylogenetic tree of the genes showed that the isolates from Jeju Island in 2017 had the same genotype and were similar to isolates from the United Kingdom. The origin of the isolates of the outbreak was the same, and the disease strain may have been imported from outside of Korea.
2017年6月,在济州岛,6名患者被诊断为伤寒。所有6名患者均因发热入院,他们都在同一家酒店工作。通过聚合酶链反应扩增了6例病例中4例的 和 基因。基因系统发育树显示,2017年济州岛分离株具有相同的基因型,且与英国分离株相似。此次疫情分离株来源相同,致病菌株可能是从韩国境外输入的。
