Epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis Spreading Quickly In Korea
The Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention warned that keratoconjunctivitis ("pink eye") and acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis is spreading quickly among a growing number of people in Korea.
The number of patients suffering from acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis has been rising sharply in Ulsan, Gyeongsang and Seoul since last week. KCDCP official Park Ok said that eye diseases rear up every August when school resumes after the summer break. The illnesses are particularly rampant in Ulsan and South Gyeongsang Province.
