Abstract

Although the pandemic influenza (H1N1 2009) has caused substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide, it could be overcome by enormous efforts of the health authorities, medical societies, and all the people of a nation. In order to evaluate the appropriateness of the management of the influenza pandemic, we performed an on-line survey for the members of the Korean Society of Infectious Diseases, who were certified for the infectious diseases specialists.
