Respiratory disease progression occurred in Konkuk University-related research



□ Centers for Disease Control (General Manager Yang byeongguk) is investigating a total of 31 kills with 10.29 days 0:00 Konkuk University is currently unknown cause respiratory disease-related cases, which said the day before 17:00 compared to 10 cases are added to the received status.

○ 31 patients as cases of fever cases are reported and showed respiratory symptoms, etc., if you are currently treating 23 patients of these state-designated hospital treatment beds, 8 of them relatively minor symptoms that you are isolated from your home state.

□ research in the field mechanics Questioned, 31 had unknown cause respiratory disease cases are all animal life science museum as people who worked in the building recently intensively between 1 week onset seen with a point, its buildings and in outbreaks caused by common factors associated with estimates that is the situation.

○ proceed with the bacteria and virus scans, etc. ‧ Centers for Disease Control and the patient samples and environmental samples for the identification of the building pathogenesis, so far as the state is unusual findings have not been confirmed,

* Key test results
: Genetic testing conducted with respect to the cause and the serum antibody test for some patients was confirmed by negative

‧ PCR-negative infectious diseases tests
- Respiratory bacteria: Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, whooping cough, diphtheria
- Respiratory viruses: Merck's, adenovirus, RS virus, parainfluenza virus, virus meth pneumophila, Boca virus, influenza virus, corona virus

‧ PCR negative antibody test in progress or infectious diseases
- Brucellosis, Q fever, Legionella (3 weeks after retesting with convalescent serum)

※ It is a voice that is not likely to cause infection and excluding the final, are also available depending on the symptoms re-inspection
○ an investigation from various angles, including the possibility of the relevant group, as well as environmental factors and caused by infectious agents and chemical process.

□ On the other hand, Konkuk University side of animal life and continuing science from the closure of the 28 days the university building last October 8 cases from days to 28 days there is heating of a people out of the building Centers for Disease Control Call (109) and it is guided to report it.

○ In addition, 10.25 days in fact conducted by the SK Group, a public recruitment exam in the building is confirmed, SK Group is a rapidly embark situation individually known to use the abnormality occurs Centers for Disease Control Call (109) to about 500 subjects.

□ In addition, the Centers for Disease Control was requested to cooperate with the Hospital Association and the Medical Association for ever for sure that the patient's fever and respiratory symptoms during life, Konkuk University Animal Science College Visit force at all levels of medical institutions.

South Korea on alert as 31 hit by mystery illness

...
The government said it is closely monitoring over 850 students and lecturers who have been using the College of Animal Bioscience and Technology building in northeastern Seoul, to check if more have been infected.

All the 31 patients are from three laboratories in the university building. Of the patients, 23 were placed in isolation at state-run facilities, while eight others were quarantined at home, with the government still trying to find the cause of the infection.
...
Since a 26-year-old female student from the college showed symptoms on Oct. 19, 20 more students working toward their doctoral and master?s degrees at laboratories in the building have contracted the unknown virus.

With the growing number of patients, Konkuk University shut down the whole building Wednesday, while the CDC conducted an epidemiologic inspection into the building and disinfected it earlier in the day.

?We assume that the source of infection is inside the building, but don?t know what exactly it is,? an official from the CDC said.

Centers for Disease Control (General Manager Yang byeongguk) is a respiratory disease associated with Konkuk University and proceeded to the day 10.29 bacteria and viruses pathogens in 16 kinds of human specimens for examination results, but had not found specific findings. One patient, one of the virus's genetic testing Rhino on the common cold virus was confirmed as positive, the patients do not commonly appear in full and respiratory diseases, and we believe this is irrelevant, This addition to the serum antibody test (brucellosis, Q fever, Legionella), even in patients without a confirmed positive status, which shall be confirmed through secondary inspection plan (convalescent serology) after three weeks. Along with the cooperation of bacteria and viruses, as well as environmental and chemical factors animals for research on infectious diseases and toxicology, including experts from various fields to participate in the dynamics Questioned, announced that through a comprehensive review of progress attribution task of respiratory diseases.

ProMED's analysis:


http://promedmail.org/post/3756621

[The fact that a large group of veterinary graduate students became ill with pneumonia over a short period of time suggests a point source outbreak, i.e., they were all exposed to the same source over a brief time. The development of additional cases over time and geographic areas will be very useful in determining whether the cases are related to a point source.

We are not told exactly the severity of the illness, but almost 75 percent of cases were ill enough to require hospitalization. The fact that the illness seems at the present time to be limited to graduate veterinary students suggests a zoonosis. Brucellosis, Q fever, MERS, and influenza, as well as legionellosis, chlamydiosis, and _Mycoplasma_ infection were said to have been ruled out, but the report does not mention SARS. I don't know how legionellosis was ruled out, but Pontiac fever, a non-pneumonic form of legionellosis, occurs as a point source outbreak with high attack rates following exposure to aerosolized _Legionella_. Pontiac fever is diagnosed serologically; culture and legionella urinary antigen are usually negative. However, the severity of the Pontiac fever is so mild that it usually does require hospitalization. Other etiologies to be considered should include psittacosis (again I am unsure how a chlamydial infection was ruled out), tularemia, pneumonic plague, and anthrax. Histoplasmosis, although very rare in South Korea, can also cause a point source outbreak of an acute respiratory illness. More information is obviously needed from knowledgeable sources to develop a list of potential etiologies.

Konkuk University is a private university located in Seoul and Chungju. Gyeonggi Province surrounds Seoul. Chungju is a city in North Chungcheong Province, which is southeast of Seoul. A map of South Korean Provinces can be found at: http://www.mapsofworld.com/south-kor...itical-map.htm. - Mod.ML

(Personally, I'm thinking either psittacosis or histoplasmosis. I think this illness is too mild for tularemia, anthrax, or plague. - alert)

So genetics and animal nutrition researchers are the ones affected. Looks like the feed they are investigating might be the culprit.

When they talk in that new article about something being buried in the experimental feed, I think whether it was intentionally or naturally contaminated, there may have been a pocket of more lethally contaminated grain in the batch than planned.  This pet food safety site has an article about that problem in naturally contaminated grains that explains how dangerous that situation can be since a super toxic pocket can escape sampling:

[url]http://truthaboutpetfood.com/dangerous-mycotoxins-confirmed-in-2015-grains/[/url]

That's why a lot of people don't like the FDA allowing mixing contaminated grains into non-contaminated animal feed hoping you'll end up with safe feed due to the dilution factor.

44 being monitored after university pneumonia outbreak

Published : 2015-11-01 17:52
Updated : 2015-11-01 17:53
...
Among the 44 individuals, 41 currently have been officially diagnosed with pneumonia and are being treated in isolation at several separate medical facilities, the KCDC said.
...
According to Konkuk University, some students who have been diagnosed with pneumonia visited an animal farm in Chungju, North Chungcheong Province, for research on Oct. 14. They also attended a dairy cattle show in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, on the same day.

The KCDC said the 41 patients who had been officially diagnosed with pneumonia have been tested for a total of 16 respiratory viruses, including MERS, influenza and coronavirus.

Only four of the 41 patients have tested positive to a single disease, called respiratory syncytial virus, which causes mild symptoms that typically mimic the common cold. Everyone else has tested negative to all 16 viruses.

The KCDC said it was unlikely that the RSV had caused the outbreak, as the particular virus is currently common nationwide...

On Sunday, the Health Ministry said it will investigate to see if any chemical substances used in the research in the building contained harmful ingredients capable of causing pneumonia.

Experts believe they are suffering from severe atypical pneumonia, he noted.

It is still unclear what made them sick. The KCDC is not ruling out the possibility of a new or mutated virus.

"For now, we believe the patients were affected by pollutants at school laboratories," Yang said in a media briefing in Seoul. "All of them got sick after working at laboratories at the school's College of Animal Bioscience and Technology building."

Thus, he noted, the likelihood of a rapid spread of the disease to the public is low.

All of the patients have tested negative for popular germs and viruses, including brucellosis, Q fever and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, except for rhinovirus, the most common cause of cold-like illnesses.

They are looking into whether chemical substances used in the laboratories in the building were capable of causing pneumonia.

It will take about two to four weeks to find the exact cause of it, Yang noted.

The school said that some of students had visited an animal farm owned by the university in Chungju, North Chungcheong Province and a milk cow show in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, on Oct. 14.[/TD]

[h=3]Mystery malady sickens 31 campus researchers[/h] Oct 30,2015

...

Song Dae-sub at Korea University?s College of Pharmacy agreed that brucellosis and Q fever are unlikely causes. Song suggested the possibility of the influenza D virus. Unlike the widely known influenza A, B and C viruses, influenza D has recently been discovered in Canada, the United States and France.

?Influenza D is cow influenza. Although cows are not known to be a host of influenza, the virus was first found in 2011,? Song said.

?The virus has been confirmed to be spreading last year. If the virus has been derived from cows, the influenza D virus could be related to the case.?

“All 50 patients are commonly showing symptoms of an acute atypical pneumonia,” said KCDC Director Yang Byeong-guk. “None of them are in serious condition and 19 are recovering from the disease. They are hospitalized in seven different medical facilities.”

The quarantine authority said the disease doesn’t seem to be contagious between human.

“There are no suspected patients among family members or medical staff members that have come into close contact with the patients,” said Prof. Chun Byung-chul of preventive medicine at Korea University, who is in charge of the epidemiological study. “We suppose the disease was contracted in a way that does not involve contacts between human.”

The KCDC also collected samples from some 30 patients for fungal culture test, but results take days to months depending on the type of fungus. The KCDC also collected environmental samples at the university building, but it also takes a couple of weeks to give results.

Suspected cases grew by 2 to a new total of 52.

http://english.chosun.com/site/data/...110301770.html Infection at Konkuk University Still a Mystery

The number of patients with a mysterious infection that broke out at Konkuk University's campus in Seoul has increased to 50.

As of Monday, 50 patients were in isolation in seven hospitals. They do not suffer severe respiratory problems, though their chest x-rays pointed to pneumonia. None but two have a high fever. But they did complain of mild initial symptoms like light fever and muscle pain.

The symptoms of 19 patients improved, but they will receive treatment for the time being until the cause is identified.

"We're checking one possibility after another alongside civilian experts, and we even suspect that this could be a new type of disease or a mutation case," said Yang Byung-kook at the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"We presume that the patients were exposed to the same pathogen because most of them were students who use the school's lab, and that the incubation period is 10 to 14 days."

The KCDC is conducting bacterial and viral tests along with environmental checks of the campus.

Some 87 relatives of the 50 patients and 1,664 people who visited the school during the outbreak have shown no symptoms so far. This shows a low possibility of person-to-person transmission.

The first patients showed symptoms on Oct. 19 and the majority between Oct. 25 and 29.


--------

(By comparison, Wikipedia gives the incubation period for histoplasmosis as 3-17 days, with 12-14 most common: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histoplasmosis - alert)
