Mumps is contagious disease and maintaining immunity to mumps in healthcare worker (HCW) is important for preventing transmission in the hospital. We evaluated the seroprevalence of mumps in HCWs in a tertiary care hospital in Republic of Korea. A total of 6,055 HCWs born between 1950 and 1995 underwent antibody testing. The overall seropositivity rate of mumps was 87% (95% confidence interval, 86%-87%). Our data indicates that, in Korean HCWs, testing for mumps antibody followed by mumps vaccination is more appropriate than routine mumps vaccination without testing for mumps antibody.
腮腺炎是一种传染病,医护人员保持对腮腺炎的免疫力对于预防医院内传播很重要。我们评估了韩国一家三级护理医院医护人员中腮腺炎的血清流行率。共有6055名出生于1950年至1995年的医护人员接受了抗体检测。腮腺炎的总体血清阳性率为87%(95%置信区间,86%-87%)。我们的数据表明,对于韩国医护人员,先检测腮腺炎抗体然后进行腮腺炎疫苗接种比不检测腮腺炎抗体而进行常规腮腺炎疫苗接种更为合适。
