【브레이크뉴스 대구】이성현 기자=대구시는 여름철 수인성·식품 매개 감염병 발생 위험이 증가함에 따라 시민들에게 손 씻기와 안전한 음식·물 섭취 등 감염병 예방수칙 준수를 당부했다.

2일 대구시에 따르면 기후 변화로 지난 4월 26일부터 대구시 낮 최고기온이 31도에 이르는 등 이른 무더위가 기승을 부리고 있고, 7월부터 본격적인 장마가 시작됨에 따라 높은 온·습도의 영향으로 세균 증식으로 인한 수인성·식품 매개 감염병 확산이 우려되고 있다.

장관감염증 표본감시 결과 세균성 장관감염증(11종)은 날씨가 따뜻해진 5월 말부터 발생이 증가하기 시작해, 현재 연속 3주간 환자 수가 200~250명대로 높은 발생을 보이고 있다.

이는 산발적 노로바이러스 발생과 특히 여름철 호발하는 살모넬라균, 캄필로박터균 환자 수의 증가가 영향을 준 것으로 분석된다.

살모넬라균은 주로 오염된 육류, 생닭, 달걀 껍데기 등으로 감염될 수 있으며 감염 시 6~72시간까지의 잠복기를 거처 설사, 발열 등의 증상을 보인다.

캄필로박터균의 주요 원인은 조리가 불충분한 닭고기, 돼지고기, 오염된 생우유의 섭취 등이고 감염 후 2~7일(10일) 잠복기 후 증상이 나타나는데 발열, 권태감이 설사 1~2일 전 먼저 나타날 수 있다.

김신우 대구시 감염병관리지원단장은 “이러한 감염병 증상이 나타나면 탈수를 예방하기 위해 수분을 충분히 공급해 주고 음식을 조절해야 한다. 탈수가 심하거나 전해질 불균형이 생기면 수액치료도 고려될 수 있으며 고열, 혈변, 중증 설사 등 증상이 심하면 병원 진료를 통해 항생제 치료를 받아야 한다”고 말했다.

정의관 대구시 보건복지국장은 “수인성·식품매개 감염병 발생을 막기 위해 올바른 손 씻기와 철저한 식품관리로 안전한 물과 음식을 섭취하는 등 감염병 예방수칙을 준수해 줄 것”을 당부했다.

대구시는 설사 환자 및 수인성·식품 매개 감염병 집단발생 시 신속한 조치를 위해 지난 5월부터 역학조사관·의료인력·검사요원으로 구성된 역학조사반(10개반 192명)을 운영하여 하절기 비상방역체계를 가동, 24시간 업무체계를 유지하며 감염병 대응에 만전을 기하고 있다.

 Daegu City, “Infectious disease prevention rules must be observed due to the heat and rainy season”

 As the risk of water-borne and food-borne infectious diseases increases in the summer, Daegu City urged citizens to follow infectious disease prevention rules such as washing hands and consuming safe food and water.

According to Daegu City on the 2nd, due to climate change, early heat waves have been rampant, with the highest daytime temperature in Daegu reaching 31 degrees since April 26th, and with the rainy season starting in July, bacterial growth is occurring due to the effects of high temperature and humidity. There are concerns about the spread of water-borne and food-borne infectious diseases.

As a result of specimen surveillance for intestinal infections, the incidence of bacterial intestinal infections (11 types) began to increase from the end of May when the weather became warmer, and the number of patients has been high in the 200-250 range for three consecutive weeks.

This is believed to have been influenced by sporadic outbreaks of norovirus and an increase in the number of patients with salmonella and campylobacter, which are particularly prevalent in the summer.

Salmonella can be mainly infected with contaminated meat, raw chicken, and egg shells, and symptoms such as diarrhea and fever appear after an incubation period of 6 to 72 hours upon infection.

The main cause of Campylobacter bacteria is consumption of insufficiently cooked chicken, pork, or contaminated raw milk, and symptoms appear after an incubation period of 2 to 7 days (10 days) after infection. Fever and malaise appear first 1 to 2 days before diarrhea. You can.

Kim Shin-woo, head of the Daegu City Infectious Disease Control Support Team, said, “If these infectious disease symptoms appear, provide sufficient fluids and adjust food intake to prevent dehydration. “If dehydration is severe or electrolyte imbalance occurs, fluid treatment may be considered, and if symptoms such as high fever, bloody stool, or severe diarrhea are severe, you should see a hospital and receive antibiotic treatment,” he said.

Daegu City Health and Welfare Director Eui-gwan Jeong said, “To prevent the occurrence of water-borne and food-borne infectious diseases, please follow the infectious disease prevention rules, such as consuming safe water and food through proper hand washing and thorough food management.”

Daegu City has operated an epidemiological investigation team (192 people in 10 teams) consisting of epidemiological investigators, medical personnel, and inspection personnel since last May to take prompt action in the event of a cluster of diarrhea patients and water-borne or food-borne infectious diseases. We maintain a 24-hour work system and are making every effort to respond to infectious diseases.Daegu City, “Infectious disease prevention rules must be observed due to the heat and rainy season”
