Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases Lab (Japan Institute for Health Security, National Center for Global Health and Medicine)
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies diagnosis, treatment, and prevention to prepare for emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases.
AboutAbout the lab
Preparing for infectious disease threats through clinical care and research.
The lab works on emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, based at the Disease Control and Prevention Center (DCC) of the Japan Institute for Health Security.
In infectious diseases, the scope extends beyond diagnosis and treatment of individual diseases to prevention and public health measures.
The main research themes include diagnosis using genomic methods, treatment and prevention, infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, and the clinical epidemiology of imported infectious diseases.
The DCC states that, through clinical care, human resource development, information dissemination, and research and development, it contributes to building a society and a country that are not defeated by the threats and impacts of infectious diseases.
Key terms
- Registry
- A system in which multiple facilities jointly record patient information for use in research. The DCC operates several of them.
- Imported infectious disease
- An infectious disease contracted overseas that develops after returning home. Malaria, dengue fever, and typhoid fever are given as examples.
- Antimicrobial-resistant bacteria
- Bacteria on which the antimicrobial drugs used for treatment are less effective. At the DCC, the AMR Clinical Reference Center is involved in countermeasures.
ResearchResearch themes
Infectious disease research extends from the diagnosis and treatment of individual patients to prevention and public health measures. Based at the Disease Control and Prevention Center, this lab works on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, and the clinical epidemiology of imported infectious diseases.
*Illustrative imageA System for Delivering Treatments for Tropical Diseases
As a research group on "establishing optimal diagnosis and treatment systems for tropical diseases and parasitic diseases," the Disease Control and Prevention Center operates a system that imports and stores treatments for rare tropical diseases (orphan drugs) and administers them to patients who need them.
*Illustrative imageA Nationwide Registry of Imported Infectious Diseases
J-RIDA is a registry of imported infectious diseases in which many facilities across Japan take part jointly. The hospital to which the Disease Control and Prevention Center belongs serves as the lead site, and the research targets patients who visited a participating facility after returning from overseas.
*Illustrative imageA Nationwide Registry of Pre-travel Consultations
J-PRECOR is a multicenter joint registry of pre-travel consultations. The hospital to which the Disease Control and Prevention Center belongs serves as the lead site, and the registry covers people who came for a pre-travel consultation before traveling overseas.
*Illustrative imagePathogen Search for Infectious Diseases of Unknown Cause
The Disease Control and Prevention Center has set up a contact point (a temporary form) for requesting a pathogen search through the Registry of Unknown-cause Infectious Diseases (RUIDA). Consultations cover suspected infectious disease cases in which the pathogen could not be identified within the scope of routine care.
